Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
This artwork features a striking textile piece with a bold, textured composition. The work is dominated by a vibrant, multicolored pattern that appears to be created through a combination of weaving and embroidery techniques. The central text, "Morally Corrupt", is prominently displayed in a distressed, hand-painted style, adding to the raw, subversive nature of the piece. The overall effect is one of visual complexity and a sense of social commentary, suggesting the artist's intention to challenge societal norms or perceptions through this captivating and thought-provoking contemporary artwork. ...
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). ...
