Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary sculptural artwork features a bold, abstract composition of vibrant colors and distinctive forms. The central element is a bulbous, textured shape in shades of blue, evoking a marine creature or organic form. This is juxtaposed against a geometric pedestal in contrasting shades of pink and blue, creating a visually striking and dynamic interplay of shapes and hues. The artist's use of mixed media, combining sculptural elements with a minimalist, geometric base, reflects an experimental approach to challenging traditional notions of form and materiality in contemporary art. ...

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. ...
