Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary sculpture features an unusual lounge chair-like structure with a wooden seat and floral fabric backrest. The overall composition is minimalist, with a simple, geometric design accentuated by the use of contrasting materials such as the metal base and the wooden elements. The work appears to be a playful and whimsical interpretation of a functional object, blending utilitarian and artistic elements. The artist's intention may have been to challenge traditional notions of furniture design and to explore the boundaries between art and everyday objects. ...

B.1993, American/Nigerian

Appropriating found objects and refashioning them to new aesthetics, Dozie Kanu creates sculptures and photography that are inherently disobedient and stubbornly slippery. They resist classification and exist instead as communicative or performative objects. Kanu’s ongoing investigation into the limits of form, functionality, materiality and usefulness are often filtered through a personal lens drawn from the artist’s lived experiences. In the artist’s debut solo exhibition at Project Native Informant, Owe Deed, One Deep, 2020, every sculpture remixes and modifies found objects, with the visible rust as a reminder of how readily items are discarded once they are deemed no longer productive. The repurposing of objects deemed useless, the artist honours and reanimates the people whose labour gave them function. In extending the lives of these unwanted items, he perpetuates the existence of those who brought them into being. His memorialisation is a site of collective mourning which has not yet ceased to exist, acknowledging that the pathways and legacies of the oppressive systems of the past continue to characterize the present. ...
