Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This bronze sculpture depicts a contorted, crab-like creature with elongated, spindly limbs and a rough, textured surface. The use of bronze and the abstract, distorted form suggest an expressionistic approach that captures a sense of tension and unease. The artwork appears to be a stylized interpretation of a crustacean, emphasizing its otherworldly and unsettling qualities. The artist's intention may have been to explore themes of the natural world's hidden complexities or to provoke a visceral, emotional response in the viewer. ...

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. ...
