Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a whimsical, abstract figure against a muted, neutral background. The bold, checkered pattern on the figure's body creates a striking visual contrast, while the exaggerated, cartoonish features add an element of playfulness and humor. The artwork's style and technique suggest a surreal, imaginative approach, likely drawing inspiration from pop art or contemporary figurative sculpture. This piece may reflect the artist's intention to challenge traditional representations and evoke a sense of playful absurdity in the viewer. ...

Artist
Hayv Kahraman
B.1981, Iraqi

Hayv Kahraman is an Iraqi artist whose practice encompasses painting, performance and sculpture. Her practice engages with gender identity and the patriarchy that she perceives within her own culture, as well as the Othering of the diasporic subject who has been displaced from their homeland. Kahraman’s paintings are formally beautiful, fragile and subtly painted onto linen or wooden board. But while subjects sometimes hold the gaze of their viewer, they are undeniably subdued and mournful. In recent work, the artist has depicted contorted female figures, their arms and legs akimbo, demonstrating the subjugation and manipulation of their bodies. These works are also a rumination on the simultaneous invisibility and visibility, the dehumanisation and amalgamation of migrants. ...
