Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a surreal and whimsical arrangement of everyday objects. The composition comprises a metallic frame supporting a bulky, oversized backpack in a muted olive green hue. The backpack appears to be partially open, with various items spilling out, including a rectangular object resembling a notebook or document. The overall style and technique suggest a playful, conceptual approach that challenges the viewer's perception of scale and function. The artist's intention may be to explore themes of mobility, transportation, or the relationship between the human body and technological devices. ...

Magali Reus
Artist
Magali Reus
B.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. ...
