Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This stark black-and-white sketch depicts a striking figural composition. The central subject appears to be a grotesque, skeletal figure, rendered in a boldly expressive, almost caricatured style. The figure's twisted, contorted pose and the sharp, angular lines suggest a sense of anguish or suffering. The overall composition is defined by strong contrasts, with the central figure emerging from a hazy, atmospheric background. The artist's use of the sketch medium heightens the raw, unyielding quality of the work. This piece seems to evoke themes of mortality, the human condition, and perhaps a critique of societal norms, reflecting the artist's distinct personal style and vision. ...

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. ...
