Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork appears to be a digital collage or montage featuring a portrait-like image. The predominant colors used are muted shades of gray, beige, and black, creating a somber and introspective mood. The composition focuses on the subject's facial features, particularly the eyes, which are emphasized and appear to be the central focus. The technique suggests a layered, experimental approach, possibly incorporating digital manipulation or photographic elements. The overall style and subject matter evoke a sense of contemplation or self-reflection, though the specific context or the artist's intention behind the piece is not immediately clear. ...

Paris, Bogotá

Established in Paris since 2010, mor charpentier represents both emerging and well-established artists whose conceptual practices are anchored in social realities, history and the politics of contrasting geographic regions. By promoting international practices, the gallery aims to broaden the knowledge of crucial debates of the present. A significant inaugural show with Colombian master, Oscar Muñoz, fulfilled a void in the French artistic scene by broadening the spectrum of origins, subjects and identities in the art market. Ever since, a growing number of major international artists have joined the gallery. Coming from different generations and global backgrounds, they all share a commitment to either political, feminist, post-colonial, queer or human rights causes. Amongst them are Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Teresa Margolles, Chen Ching-Yuan, Liliana Porter, Bouchra Khalili, Carlos Motta, Hajra Waheed, and more. Equal gender representation and diversity is also part of the gallery goals, with half of the represented artists being women. In 2021 mor charpentier opened a second exhibition space in Bogotá. This expansion was driven to expand the reach of the gallery program to new publics and encourage artists to explore new territories. It consolidated a long-term bond with the Latin American art scene and the international projection of the gallery. ...
