Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a multifunctional sculptural installation composed of various elements. The predominant colors are shades of gray, with accents of blue on the hardware. The overall structure is angular and geometric, with a combination of protruding and recessed forms. The piece incorporates practical objects like a shelf, holder, and what appears to be a display or control panel. The style is minimalist and industrial, highlighting the artist's use of found materials and repurposed objects to create a functional yet conceptual installation. This piece likely explores themes of technology, automation, and the integration of everyday objects into artistic practice. ...

Magali Reus
Artist
Magali Reus
1981 , Dutch

Magali Reus produces sculptures by assembling common objects, such as no-parking signs or locks, into brand new and unfamiliar forms. Although she is attuned to the physical world, Reus avoids using pre-existing objects and instead meticulously fabricates each component of her sculptures using a combination of traditional and modern techniques. Working in series, she explores and expands upon the cultural and physical properties of these objects, forging connections between the sculptures and their physicality. Manipulating colours, materials, textures, and shapes, Reus disrupts typical associations and employs a mixture of digital design and traditional sculpting techniques that involve various materials like aluminum, steel, and resin. This process of abstraction enables alternative associations to form, giving her sculptures a surreal and otherworldly quality. Reus characterizes her sculptures as "unreal things" that could easily fit within either a computer-generated realm or a Surrealist composition. ...
