handwoven cotton and silk in ash artist's frameFrançois Ghebaly
Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a vibrant composition of intersecting geometric shapes in warm hues of orange, yellow, and red, framed by a rustic wooden border. The intricate mosaic-like pattern creates a sense of depth and movement, with the contrasting colors and angular forms generating a striking visual effect. The artist's technique showcases their mastery of textile-based media, weaving a captivating abstract tapestry that challenges the viewer's perception of space and dimension. This piece likely reflects the artist's exploration of color, texture, and the interplay between traditional craft and modern abstract expression. ...

The Potter (with Peepers)
Artist
Em Kettner
B.1988, American

Em Kettner’s miniature, figurative sculptures are contextualised by the artist’s experience of muscular dystrophy, intimacy and the fragility of embodied interdependence. She weaves silk and cotton threads onto fragmented porcelain structures, creating tiny beds and colourfully-patterned surfaces, leaving out the limbs and heads of her tiny characters. Whether sickbeds or love-beds or both, the sculptures and their figures reference the physical fragility and mutual support of Kettner’s experience. The miniature scale of her works alludes to votative objects placed on altars as pleas for the relief of pain or illness. Eroticism, religion, joy and ecstasy intertwine in the artist’s delicate figures, challenging the idea of a “normal” body and the hurtful stereotypes about the disability community.
