Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This bronze relief sculpture depicts two emaciated, skeletal figures in an embrace, their bodies intertwined and distorted, conveying a sense of anguish and suffering. The dark, mottled surface and rough, expressive modeling create a powerful, visceral impression. The artwork's fragmented, surreal style and unsettling subject matter suggest a commentary on the human condition, perhaps exploring themes of mortality, vulnerability, and the anguish of the human experience. The artist's striking use of form and technique evokes a sense of discomfort and unease, inviting the viewer to contemplate the deeper symbolic and emotional resonance of this harrowing yet compelling contemporary artwork. ...

Artist
Jean-Marie Appriou
B.1986, French

Jean-Marie Appriou imagines speculative futures and utopian worlds by constructing vast and imposing yet intricate and technically impressive sculptures from an array of materials including bronze, glass, aluminium, wax and clay. As if they are figments plucked from fantastical dreams, the works and worlds Appriou conjurs include beings loaded with symbolism. From snakes and huge horse heads to seahorses and sharks, Appriou’s cast of protagonists is mystical and mythical. He combines these beings with representations of Japanese Ama divers, beekeepers and crop gatherers, who symbolise discovery, germination and new life. By summoning future visions with creatures taken from myth and legend, Appriou combines past, future and imagined, weaving new narratives that transcend time, truth and terrain.
