Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This sculptural work showcases a striking composition of earthy tones and textures. The piece appears to depict a distorted, hunched figure made from weathered fabrics and materials, creating an evocative, almost human-like form. The overall aesthetic reflects a sense of fragility and decay, with the crumpled, draped elements suggesting a melancholic, introspective mood. The artist's use of found and repurposed materials lends the piece a sense of gritty, organic materiality. This work likely explores themes of the human condition, vulnerability, and the transient nature of existence through its unconventional sculptural language. ...

Manon Wertenbroek

B.1991, Swiss

In so doing, she explores the duality of skin as an element that is both singular and relational, protective and permeable. Wertenbroek is always looking for materials and ways to cross the line between sentimentality and eroticism, using materials such as latex, leather, metal clasps, lights, and piercings. Her sculptures are often disembodied, suggesting bodies without taking on volume or form. In 2017, Wertenbroek received the Swiss Art Award from the Federal Office of Culture. ...
