Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a stark and minimalist composition, with a lone glove resting on a damp, concrete surface. The muted colors and industrial materials create a sense of isolation and abandonment. The simple, yet evocative subject matter suggests a narrative of loss or displacement, inviting the viewer to ponder the underlying meaning.

B.1980

Mixing influences from Dada, Minimalism, Land Art and Conceptualism, the artistic duo Littlewhitehead (Craig Little, b. 1980 in Glasgow & Blake Whitehead b. 1985 in Lanark, Scotland) develop eerie installations combining sculpture and painting. Meditating on themes of abandonment, built environments, social structures, and the passing of time, callous concrete models might sit in conversation with hollowed steel structures and surreal assemblages gathering objects at odds with one another. Often working durationally on a body of work, Littlewhitehead frequently leave sculptures out in the elements to weather prior to exhibiting them. Journeys Seldom End (2019-2022) for example was created over a period of three years, collecting leaves, pollen, and puddles of water in the process. Interactions with disused buildings or sites often sparks new projects for Littlewhitehead with unoccupied malls, California ghost towns and mid-century tower blocks serving as fertile ground to harvest. Digital shells, or fossils such as dated websites or blogs also intrigue the duo, with these digital environments also sharing a sense of dereliction and neglect. Void of human activity, their installations lay bare the fast paced hunger of modern society, with the sculptures and paintings housing societal fragments once beloved and now cast aside. ...
