Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a striking combination of different visual elements and techniques. The central image depicts a rough, sketched figure peering out from behind a geometric, gray structure, creating a sense of confinement and isolation. The overall composition is divided into distinct sections, with the turquoise background providing a vibrant contrast to the monochromatic sketches and the textured, marble-like surface. The artist's use of various media, including drawing, collage, and mixed media, suggests an experimental and exploratory approach, reflecting the piece's conceptual and abstract nature. The overall impression evokes a sense of tension, fragmentation, and the human condition within a complex and multifaceted contemporary landscape. ...

Artist

Juliao Sarmento

1948 , Portuguese

Born in Lisbon, Portugal. Worked in Estoril, Portugal. One of the most important artists of his generation, Sarmento exhibited extensively since the 1970s. Julião Sarmento drew upon themes of memory, sexuality, transgression, morality, and duality. He worked across different mediums (painting, collage, drawing, sculpture, performance, and film) to deploy a concise vocabulary of images. Sarmento studied Painting and Architecture at Escola Superior de Belas Artes in Lisbon where he received his MA in 1974. The richness and complexity of Sarmento’s work lies in its system of free-floating signifiers which migrate between works and across the boundaries of medium. The use or recurring motifs such as hand gestures, parts of bodies and architectural floor plans generate a free-play of unsettling associations that refuse to settleinto meaning. ...
