Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This large-scale abstract painting features a vibrant and chaotic composition of bold colors and organic shapes. The dominant figure appears to be a distorted, grotesque creature with bulging eyes and a wide grin, rendered in a mix of earthy tones and vibrant splashes of paint. The overall style is expressionistic, with a sense of energy and spontaneity conveyed through the dynamic brushwork and unconventional use of materials. The artist's intention seems to be an exploration of the subconscious and the unsettling aspects of the human condition. ...

Artist
Manuel Mathieu
B.1986, Haitian

Manuel Mathieu is a multidisciplinary artist, working with painting, drawing, ceramics, and installation. His work investigates themes of historical violence, erasure and cultural approaches to physicality, nature, and spiritual legacy. Mathieu’s interests are partially informed by his upbringing in Haiti, and his experience emigrating to Montréal at the age of nineteen. Freely operating in between and borrowing from numerous historical influences and traditions, Mathieu aims to find meaning through a spiritual or asemic mode of apparition. Mathieu has developed a distinctive abstract visual language, used to create phenomenological encounters that confront our didactic traditions. Amorphous forms vacillate and dissolve into one another, creating boundless landscapes traversable through desire. Through his quest for meaning, transparency and openness he undertakes a process of discovering his work, as opposed to creating it; by doing so the work holds its autonomy and can be assimilated into a space of collective consciousness. The vibrational effect of his work elicits physical and emotional frequencies that offer alternative methods for navigating the world. ...
