Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
The artwork features a crumpled silver foil bow-like object placed against a pale pink background, set within a larger rectangular frame. The composition employs a minimalist aesthetic, with the central element's metallic sheen and irregular form contrasting with the flat, monochromatic backdrop. The scattered red dots or splatters across the surface add a sense of spontaneity and dynamism to the otherwise static scene. The artist appears to explore the interplay between simplicity, materiality, and unexpected visual elements, inviting the viewer to contemplate the relationship between form, color, and symbolic associations. ...
Lotus L. Kang sensitively cultivates installations which unearth porous connections between the human body and the world at large. Working with a myriad of materials, such as silicone, thread, film and foodstuffs, Kang weaves together recognisable objects such as mixing bowls, doors, or fruit and resituate these items in an otherworldly context. Acting as an alchemist, Kang is eager to document processes of flux or decay which might evolve during the installation. Experimenting with photographic materials, Kang incorporates darkroom chemicals, photographic paper and tanned film to track organic movements of light in the space.

Each body of work hosts a mixture of movement and stillness, of fragile and concrete elements and domestic and industrial signifiers. Facets of ecology, politics and cultural tangents collide in Kang’s works, as the artist intricately wrestles with the utter complexity of contemporary life. Citing the influence of feminist theory, biology and science fiction upon her practice, Kang is able to untangle the global within an extremely personal scale. ...
