Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract artwork features a striking juxtaposition of light and dark tones, with a prominent black rectangular field contrasted by a textured, grayish-white area. The composition is framed by a wooden border, adding a rustic element. The overall aesthetic suggests a minimalist approach, with the artist utilizing subtle techniques like layering and distressing to create a visually compelling work. While the subject matter is not immediately recognizable, the artwork invites the viewer to explore the interplay of materials, textures, and negative space, potentially reflecting the artist's intention to evoke a sense of introspection or contemplation. ...

Korean-born, New York-based artist Joeun Kim Aatchim’s practice is centred around drawing. Her drawings employ Korean silk as their surface, onto which she constructs incredibly intricate compositions which capture the attention of the viewer. Viewers are encouraged to experience the visual feast of texture, colour, and materiality which Aatchim has presented. Luminosity radiates outwards from the surface of Aatchim’s works. While she concentrates on every day, simple events and scenes, such as a pair of shoes, a dinner, domestic objects, there is an intimacy and beauty in the intricacy of her work, it draws our attention and encourages us to look deeper at what we might usually only give a fleeting glance. ...

Instituto de Visión
Bogotá, New York City

Instituto de Vision is a Bogotá and New York based gallery for conceptual practices. Their mission is to investigate conceptual discourses that have been neglected by the official Latin American art canon. They have recovered important estates from the Latin American art of the mid century and continue to research the most enigmatic oeuvres of the region. Through a parallel program, they represent some of the most relevant contemporary practices from Colombia, Chile, North America, Venezuela, and others. Directed by three women, Instituto de Vision gives special attention to female voices, queer theories, environmental activism, the conflicts of migration, and other critical positions that challenge the established order. Using the international art scene as a platform, they are committed to give visibility and expand the work of artists that reveal critical realities and raise important questions for these contemporary subjects. ...
