Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
This boldly colored textile artwork features a striking, wavy composition with a prominent textual element. The vibrant hues and various textures, including fringe and embroidered patches, create a visually engaging and dynamic composition. The text, which reads "Through the blizzards through the wars," suggests a narrative or thematic content, potentially alluding to themes of struggle, resilience, or the human experience of conflict. The eclectic materials and unconventional approach reflect the artist's distinctive style, blending traditional textile techniques with a contemporary, experimental sensibility. This thought-provoking work invites the viewer to contemplate the broader historical or social contexts that have inspired its creation. ...
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). ...
