Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features two painted rocks that depict stylized human faces. The colors used are predominantly warm shades of yellow and orange, creating an abstract and expressive quality. The faces are rendered with distinct features like glasses and distinctive hair, suggesting a portrait-like quality. The rocks are connected by a thin black cord, adding an element of interactivity or connection between the two elements. The artwork seems to explore themes of identity, individuality, and the human form through an innovative and unconventional medium. The artist's intention may be to challenge traditional notions of portraiture and self-representation. ...

Greg Parma Smith
American

Parma Smith constantly investigates the visual elements in our daily life through oil painting, blending this traditional art form with various formats of assemblage or juxtaposition. The painterly styles in his work span a wide range of genres, including still life, nudes, landscapes, calligraphy, and graffiti. Smith delves into the seemingly mundane through his paintings and creates works filled with references. His work displays remarkable versatility and adaptability to different styles while presenting a unique perspective on familiar and diverse sources. By incorporating elements such as coloured pencils, oranges, and origami paper, Smith reinvents the concept of mass-culture images reminiscent of the appropriation that was a defining characteristic of Pop Art in the 1960s. His art evokes a sense of nostalgia and revives experimental practices developed in New York in the 1970s and 1980s, such as fanzines, while also maintaining his focus on the status of images in current society, which are continually diverted and reinterpreted by digital culture. ...
