Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork appears to be a folded fabric panel or garment. The visual elements include a deep brown color and a textured, ruched surface with a series of small horizontal folds or pleats. The overall composition is simple and minimal, focusing on the tactile quality of the material. The subject matter is difficult to discern, but the piece seems to explore the aesthetic potential of fabric through its sculptural form. The artistic style and technique suggest an interest in the materiality and manipulation of cloth, perhaps with a conceptual or minimalist approach. Without further context, the historical background or the artist's intention behind this piece remains unclear. ...

Through the artist's material explorations, Manon Wertenbroek examines the definition of a physical form and its limits, as well as what lies beyond the skin as an envelope. 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. ...
