Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features an arresting close-up depiction of a human foot rendered in earthy tones against a dark background. The composition emphasizes the intricate textures and contours of the foot, with the artist's precise brushwork capturing the skin's subtle ridges and folds. The subject matter invites the viewer to contemplate the human form in an intimate, almost abstract manner. The bold, painterly style and dramatic lighting create a powerful, visceral effect, suggesting the artist's intention to draw attention to the physical and emotional resonance of the human body. ...

Joseph Grigely
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.

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. ...
