Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The vibrant artwork features a playful and surreal interior scene. The bold, contrasting colors of the walls and frames create a visually striking composition. The figures depicted, a person lying on the floor and another standing, engage in an unusual, almost dreamlike pose. The artist's distinctive style and techniques suggest a quirky, imaginative exploration of the human form and its relationship to the surrounding environment. This whimsical and unconventional piece likely reflects the artist's intention to challenge conventional notions of reality and prompt the viewer to consider new perspectives on the human experience. ...

In her performative videos Kawita's Vatanajyankur transforms her body into a site upon which issues of labour, feminism, oppression and consumerism are thoroughly interrogated and challenged. Vatanajyankur undertakes various repetitive and strenuous tasks, turning herself into mechanical tools and domestic objects as she pushes her body to its limits as a testament to human capabilities and female resilience. Drawing from a globalized and digitally networked visual language of consumption and instant gratification, her videos bears semblance to bold and colourful commercial advertisements, only breaking away from their similarities within her constantly recurring moments of physical and emotional discomfort; the result is a bodywork that is as strikingly compelling as it is uncomfortable to witness. ...
