Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This expansive artwork features a striking composition of earthy tones and organic patterns. The large mural-like canvas is dominated by a mosaic of warm ochres, browns, and muted blues, creating a captivating abstract landscape. The intricate texture and irregular shapes evoke a sense of natural erosion or weathering, suggesting a connection to the natural world. The work's monumental scale and the viewer's perspective, with a single person standing before it, highlight the immersive and contemplative nature of the piece. The artist's innovative use of materials and techniques invites the viewer to ponder the interplay between the man-made and the natural. ...

Igshaan Adams’s practice coalesces performance, weaving, sculpture and installation. Born in Bonteheuwel, a township in Cape Town, South Africa, Adams draws upon his background to contest racial, sexual and religious boundaries. This intersectional topography remains visible throughout his practice and serves as a palimpsest upon which traces of personal histories are inscribed and reinscribed. He explains; “I’m interested in the personal stories recorded on the surface. What is recorded is not necessarily always a factual account but can be what is imagined - a combination of myth-making and meaning-making”. Adams approaches materiality through his own subjectivity. Often, cultural and religious references are used in conjunction with surfaces that have always been present throughout his life; thread, beads, wire, linoleum, cotton twine, fabric. His interest in the material oscillates between the intuitive process of handling different substances as well as a formal inquiry into how various materials behave in different contexts and how they transfigure or evolve depending. Likening the material’s potential for evolution to his own potential for evolution, Adams is engaged in broadening his ideas of selfhood in an ongoing process of covering and uncovering, doing and undoing. ...
