Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork displays a striking assemblage of found objects, including a cylindrical metal container, a spiked object, and various fragmented items. The dynamic composition and vibrant colors create a sense of chaos and energy. The piece appears to employ collage and assemblage techniques, incorporating both organic and industrial elements. The overall impression is one of a whimsical, yet unsettling, commentary on consumerism and the disruption of everyday objects. The artist's intention may be to challenge traditional notions of art and to explore themes of transformation, deconstruction, and the repurposing of discarded materials. ...

Dozie Kanu
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. ...
