Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This black and white portrait photograph features a pensive, serious expression on the face of a young woman with dark, curly hair. The simple, formal attire and neutral background create a minimalist, understated composition that draws the viewer's attention to the subject's thoughtful gaze. The use of chiaroscuro lighting and the high-contrast, grainy aesthetic suggest a mid-20th century photographic style, likely capturing a portrait session or studio setting. While the identity of the individual is not specified, the artwork conveys a sense of introspection and psychological depth, reflecting the artist's intention to present a meaningful, intimate portrait. ...

Artist
Liliana Porter
B.1941, Argentinian

One of the most cited Argentinean artists in contemporary culture, Liliana Porter has long questioned the boundary between reality and its representation. She is a master at distilling life and art to simple profundities through humorous juxtapositions of incongruous objects. Over the years, Porter has amassed a prodigious and eccentric collection of figurines, knickknacks, toys, and souvenirs from her global travels. These kitschy objects appear regularly in her work, inviting political, philosophical, and existential interpretation through their arrangement in unexpected situations. Each tchotchke represents a different era and cultural/historical narrative. Porter delights in manipulating time, history and reality by combining them as though in dialogue in a timeless white space. In 1964 Liliana Porter moved to New York, where she has lived and worked since. The same year, she founded The New York Graphic Workshop with two fellow artists: Luis Camnitzer and José Guillermo Castillo, with the goal of redefining the practice of printmaking. ...

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. ...
