oil, acrylic, household and spray paint and marble dust on stretched military surplus tent canvas
Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
The artwork showcases a vibrant and abstract composition featuring bold strokes of red, pink, and blue paint. The dominant shapes resemble feathers or wings, suggesting a sense of movement and dynamism. The overall style is expressionistic, with a focus on the interplay of colors and textures rather than a realistic depiction. The work appears to be a large-scale painting, possibly on canvas or a similar surface. While the specific subject matter is not immediately evident, the visual elements and the artist's technique create an emotive and thought-provoking piece that invites the viewer to engage with its symbolic or conceptual layers. ...

Jo Dennis’ work is characterized by the diverse aesthetic strategies and mediums in her practice, including installation, assemblage, painting, found objects and photography. Hovering between the realms of painting and sculpture. Dennis' abstract approach to art-making delves into themes associated with shelter and mortality. Employing a distinctive visual language and unorthodox painting techniques, Dennis focuses on the pivotal role art assumes in documenting memories. She explores how the interplay of materiality, surface, and texture can not only convey emotion but also capture the nuanced patina of time. Her artistic endeavour seeks to magnify the sensitivities inherent in these structures, remnants, and residual materials through the medium of paint.
Themes of home, refuge, and memory resonate through her creations, as she utilizes studio waste and found objects such as wooden panels and army surplus tents to craft compelling narratives that speak to the temporality of existence. The constant repurposing, blending, and reshaping of various techniques and mediums seems to reflect a state of perpetual deconstruction and reconstruction. Her sculptural paintings are marked by bold colours - rich tones of red, blue and yellow are deepened by contrasting pink, vivid green and orange - and evocative brushstrokes, highlighting the emotive resonance embedded within her work.
