Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a minimalist, abstract depiction rendered in a reddish-brown medium, likely crayon or chalk. The composition comprises two rounded, almost human-like forms with simplistic facial features. The overall style appears primitive and childlike, creating a raw, emotive quality. The artwork may suggest themes of human presence and expression, conveying a sense of primal energy and innocence through its basic shapes and gestural markings. The artist's intention behind this piece could be to explore the fundamental aspects of human existence and the universality of visual expression. ...

Joan Jonas
B.1936, American

Joan Jonas is a trailblazing artist who was at the helm of emerging video and performance art during the late 1960s and early 1970s in the Happenings scene of downtown New York. Originally trained as a sculptor, Jonas shifted to performance as it served as a fluid arena to blend her interests in architecture, theatre, dance, music, film and literature. This methodology also enabled Jonas to develop a catalogue of alter egos and ongoing narratives to use within her pieces, with the character Organic Honey for example, surfacing throughout five decades of film as an “electronic erotic seductress”. Often working collaboratively with composers, other artists, or choreographers such as Gordon Matta Clark, Yvonne Rainer or Richard Serra, the early pieces were often performed outside, directly reacting to the barren “holes” within New York City at the time— shooting at docklands, piers, or alleyways. Other iconic series include The Mirror Pieces (1969), where women would hold up mirrors against their bodies, their images reflected and refracted back at one another, meditating on self-image and the fragmentation of the feminine. Drawing is also an integral element of her process. Whilst preparing for a new piece, Jonas will gesturally draw with ink, paint, or chalk, emulating the same image ad infimum. This act is duplicated during live pieces, with sketches being the primary method of communication within her performances. Despite what medium or methodology Jonas employs, her pieces are innately innovative and experimental. ...

Amanda Wilkinson opened her gallery in November 2017, having been a partner in Wilkinson Gallery, and brought with her the artists that she had worked with since 2003. Most of these internationally renowned artists had their first solo UK exhibition at the gallery: Joan Jonas and Shimabuku in 2004, Sung Hwan Kim in 2007, Jimmy DeSana in 2009, and Laurie Simmons in 2011. The program has also introduced younger artists such as Heman Chong, Phoebe Unwin, Dorota Gawęda and Eglė Kulbokaitė all of whom have solo exhibitions in public institutions this year. Amanda Wilkinson is a trustee of the Derek Jarman Estate and is the sole gallery who represents the work. The program continues to highlight key historical artists who are little known to the wider art world, including Paolo Gioli, Ketty La Rocca and Margaret Raspé and will introduce new artists to the program in 2020 in keeping with the gallery’s experimental and cross-generational approach. The gallery has presented four Feature booths at ArtBasel in the past , featuring six artists from the program. Eight out of the twelve artists represented by the gallery had solo museum exhibitions in 2019/2020. ...
