Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork presents a whimsical and fantastical castle sculpture. The composition features a central white structure with numerous pointed pink turrets, creating a dreamlike, fairytale-like aesthetic. The castle is adorned with intricate details, including windows, stairs, and other architectural elements, giving the piece a sense of depth and complexity. The artist has employed a combination of sculpting and painting techniques to achieve the desired effect, blending realistic and stylized elements. This playful and imaginative work likely aims to evoke a sense of wonder and childhood wonder in the viewer, perhaps exploring themes of fantasy, imagination, and the enchantment of the natural world. ...

Artist
Gina Fischli
B.1989, Swiss

Gina Fischli’s practice is characterised by the playful employment of a multitude of different media, including glitter and denim, to explore notions of fantasy, food, materiality and consumption in contemporary society. Cleverly upending notions of scale, fake and real, Fischli sculpts castle-shaped cakes – complete with fondant-like turrets and windows – from polymer clay, as well as large portraits on plywood bejewelled with glitter that depict cocktail glasses and Diet Coke cans. Fischli’s castle cakes are often named after real British and German medieval or neo-Gothic castles, monumental and supposedly haunted buildings, humorously rendered by the artist in saccharine, sugar-frosted technicolour. Written by Goldsmiths CCA ...

Soft Opening
London

Founded in 2018 by Antonia Marsh, Soft Opening presents UK-based and international emerging contemporary artists, and often their first solo presentations in London. Focusing on work pushing the conventional limits of medium or material, the gallery presents a wide range of media and practices. Soft Opening built its early program with projects that responded to the gallery’s unique first location in Piccadilly Circus Underground Station. Opening a second space in East London in 2019 saw programming strategy develop as Soft Opening began participating in international art fairs and representing artists. Programming is now focused at this East London space. In 2020 the gallery began publishing artist monographs - the first was with Tenant of Culture in 2020 followed by Gina Fischli in 2021 and Sin Wai Kin in 2022. ...
