Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features two sculptural pieces made of bronze and glass in a minimalist contemporary setting. The first piece depicts a whimsical, abstract figure with elongated limbs and a contorted pose, supporting a glass platform. The second sculpture presents a surreal, animal-like form with a stretched, bony neck and a reclined, reptilian body. The unusual, imaginative shapes and the combination of natural and artificial materials suggest an exploration of organic forms and human-made structures. The artist's intention may be to challenge conventional notions of form and function, inviting the viewer to contemplate the relationship between the natural and the artificial. ...

Artist

Francis Upritchard

1976 , New Zealand

Francis Upritchard was born in 1976 in New Plymouth, New Zealand and lives and works in London and New Zealand. Upritchard’s work draws on figurative sculpture, blending references from literature to ancient sculptures, and burial grounds to science fiction. Her installations showcase a wide variety of materials; her distinctive figurative sculptures are made using polymer plastic, amorphous mythological figures in balata - a natural rubber, bronze dinosaurs, glass vessels and ceramic urns. ‘Upritchard questions how we construct a vision for the future through our fractured, partial and often conflicted understanding of the past. She creates a place where histories and archives can be viewed anew through playfully exploring aspects of partiality, misreading and uncanny coincidences. Upritchard’s mini worlds are anti-imperial and non-hierarchical - there is no dominant culture.’ Heather Galbraith. ...
