Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
This contemporary artwork features a textured and layered composition with the phrase "Minor Injustice" prominently displayed in embroidered lettering. The piece utilizes a muted color palette of beiges, browns, and grays, along with natural materials like dried leaves and flowers, creating a sense of decay and impermanence. The overall style and technique evoke a sense of handcrafted, textile-based art, drawing attention to the materiality and process involved in its creation. The artwork likely aims to address societal issues of injustice and the subtle forms of marginalization that often go unnoticed, inviting the viewer to consider the nuances of inequity in our world. ...
Ballon Rouge began as a nomadic gallery in September of 2017. In our first two years we put up exhibitions in Istanbul, London, Los Angeles, Brussels, Sao Paulo, Paris, and New York. Each of the cities we visited was stewarded by a ‘collective member’ - a curator who introduced us to artists and to their respective city’s art scene. In March of 2019 we made Brussels our home city, inaugurating our permanent space. While we will continue to do shows abroad alongside our collective members, our primary location is now Brussels. Besides our own exhibitions, the space in Brussels sometimes hosts invited international galleries to show with us in exchange for a show of ours at theirs - a further continuation of our ethos of collaboration and collectivity. So far we have collaborated or will soon collaborate with Hannah Barry Gallery (London); Melange (Cologne); Galerist (Istanbul); Gallery Artbeat, (Tbilisi); the Pill (Istanbul); Pi Artworks (Istanbul, London); Vitrine (London, Basel). ...
