Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a captivating fusion of colors and textures. The prominent visual elements are the striking combination of pastel pink and blonde hues, creating a striking contrast in the figure's voluminous hairstyle. The overall composition is striking, with the figure positioned against a plain white background, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the work. The subject matter appears to be a stylized human form, conveying a sense of avant-garde fashion or costume design. The distinctive use of fur-like material and the dramatic, exaggerated silhouette suggest an experimental, contemporary artistic style. This thought-provoking piece likely reflects the artist's exploration of themes related to identity, transformation, or the subversion of traditional aesthetic norms. ...

‘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. ...
