Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This sculpture depicts a human figure in a contemplative pose, standing atop a wooden block with a distinctive pattern. The monochromatic color palette of grey and brown creates a minimalist aesthetic, emphasizing the sculptural form. The figure's body is wrapped in a flowing garment, creating a sense of movement and fluidity. The abstract, simplified design and the use of natural materials suggest a focus on the human form and its relationship to the environment. This piece likely reflects the artist's exploration of the human condition and the interconnectedness of the physical and spiritual realms. ...

Artist

Francis Upritchard

B.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. ...
