Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This striking contemporary artwork features a shimmering, metallic dress-like structure suspended from a minimalist frame. The piece is composed of a multitude of small, reflective sequins or scales arranged in a dramatic, flowing silhouette that evokes the appearance of a gown or robe. The overall effect is one of ethereal elegance, with the intricate, textural surface reflecting light and creating a sense of movement and fluidity. The artist's use of this unique, unconventional medium and the work's abstract, sculptural nature suggest an intention to explore themes of transformation, materiality, and the interplay between the mundane and the extraordinary. ...

‘The art world is part of my medium,’ explains Kayode Ojo. A disciple of Marcel Duchamp, adopting his penchant for the appropriation of mundane, ‘readymade’ objects, and recognition of the gallery’s ability to vastly elevate the worth and discourse associate with the objects within its grasp, Ojo is interested in making layers of production and trade visible. He gathers fragments pertaining to a materialist, capitalist culture; relics of fast fashion like a H&M fringe dress, a grey ASOS suit, a hairpiece purchased from Amazon. Although Ojo problematises the objects’ conception, he also willingly elevates them, realising their aspirations for grandeur. He meticulously drapes synthetic fabric over metal armatures and pieces of Breuer-style furniture, fastening all of the items taut in a play of mutual culpability using key rings, carabiner hooks and steel handcuffs. ...
