Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist artwork features an intriguing composition of layered wooden forms arranged on a white background. The predominant color is a natural, earthy brown, with the rough, textured surfaces of the wood creating visual interest. The shapes resemble abstracted mountain peaks or organic silhouettes, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The artist's use of simple materials and a pared-down aesthetic suggests an exploration of form, materiality, and the relationship between positive and negative space. The overall impression is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to engage with the work's subtle nuances and underlying conceptual themes. ...

Josephine Baker

B.1990, British

Josephine Baker (b. 1990, London, UK) completed her undergraduate studies at Central Saint Martins in London in 2012, and her postgraduate in 2017 at the Royal Academy Schools, London.  For Josephine, making sculptures is like writing alternative physical stories to those with which we fabricate our world. Industrially-processed and altered almost beyond recognition, the materials she uses are reconfigured and reimagined, in a challenge to the capitalist trajectories that have produced them. In reclaiming the depiction of landscape and natural phenomena from its cooption into imperialist narratives, different realities are allowed to take shape. ...
