Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary sculpture depicts an abstracted human figure in a crouching position.

The earthy tones and rough, unfinished surfaces suggest a primal, primitive quality, hinting at the artist's exploration of the human condition and the vulnerability of the physical body. The unconventional, conceptual approach to the figure reflects the experimental nature of contemporary art practices aimed at challenging traditional representations. ...

B.1970, American

Katie Grinnan’s work is focused on the body and its functions. She is fascinated by kinaesthesis, cognition and vision, specifically the ways in which these intricate and finely calibrated knowledge systems provide inherently subjective and unique perceptions of reality, emotion and self. Grinnan is interested in the occupation of different states of consciousness, for example meditation and dreaming, and how they different themselves from the state of wakefulness and full cognition. The artist’s sculptures are manifestations of the mind and its boundaries, rendered in materials like plastic, enamel and sand, often casts of her own body. In ‘Mirage’ (2011), Grinnan cast her body incrementally during her daily yoga routine, with a symphony of limbs made from sand extending outwards, delineating the passing of time and the body’s perpetual journey towards disintegration.
