Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a pair of minimalist sculptures with a bold, geometric composition. The pieces feature a striking contrast between the stark black backgrounds and the large, white circular shapes that punctuate the surfaces. The overall design creates a sense of visual rhythm and balance, showcasing the artist's keen eye for form and negative space. The sculptures' sleek, industrial appearance and the use of simple, repetitive motifs suggest an exploration of abstraction, material, and the relationship between positive and negative elements. This contemporary work likely reflects the artist's interest in exploring the fundamental principles of visual perception and the nature of sculptural form. ...

Koenraad Dedobbeleer constructs sculptural environments, often resembling elements of 1970s Space Age interior design, futuristic aesthetics for an imagined realm. Assembled together with Dedobeleer's original fabrications, his installations incorporate humorous modifications and recontextualisations of readymade objects. Through placing formerly mundane articles within the artist’s constructed worlds, he elevates and liberates them from their formal quality and function, asking the viewer to reevaluate them in a new context. This play between original sculpture and transformed object creates intriguing dynamics and contextual rifts, questioning the value and provenance attributed to objects, and how they can be altered within fresh frames of reference. Written by Goldsmiths CCA ...
