Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork features a series of wooden silhouettes in a dark, shadowy frame. The shapes are simple yet intriguing, with intersecting lines and curves that suggest the outline of a human figure. The warm, earthy tones of the wood contrast with the stark, monochromatic backdrop, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The minimalist composition and play of light and shadow evoke a sense of mystery and contemplation. This piece seems to explore the relationship between the human form and its representation, inviting the viewer to ponder the essence of identity and the power of abstraction. ...

B.1956, American

Deaf since the age of ten, Grigely has focused his work on issues of communication—both its problems and possibilities—by creatively dealing with the absence of speech. His work can be understood as a journey through visual strategies and compositions based on the written word. Between the late 1980s and early 1990s, he formed a body of experimental work by creating a series of conceptual sculptures called Perforated Tympani. The title of the series is a reference to an incident: in 1967 he fell down a hill during a game of “King on the Mountain,” and a tree branch lying on the ground punctured his one good ear, leaving the artist totally deaf. As steel beams pierce large slabs of oak and elm, the Tympani sculptures became a medium to return the trauma to the trees. ...
