Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features bold, abstract shapes and a striking contrast of colors. The central figure, rendered in a dark, shadowy tone, appears to be a human form in an introspective pose, set against a backdrop of geometric shapes and patterns. The artist employs a unique blend of realism and abstraction, creating a visually captivating and emotionally evocative piece. The work seems to explore themes of identity, self-reflection, and the interplay between the human form and its surrounding environment, reflecting the artist's distinctive style and creative vision. ...

An island is all surrounded by water In the morning foreboding Quickly solved by dripping A shower, you know A slow crawl to the park Wait first meat A coffee A hill A roundabout A breeze on the lake A larking body of water, once screaming once babbling, once running A sleeping family A white child with A water gun A tall tree A tunneling A horn Another A too small blanket, you in my mind and next to me A wind in my ears, my basement look what I found, leave the lights on A sigh A tie on a rooftop A still flooding Another horn All in the flight path An immovable object A clapping of leaves A certainty, it is seven feet deep One boy watches the other A horn

We talked of the slide show in the circus. Use a pencil to write the first draft. He ran half way to the hardware store. The clock struck to mark the third period. A small creek cut across the field. Cars and busses stalled in snow drifts. Not clumping. The set of china hit, the floor with a crash. This is a grand season for hikes on the road. The dune rose from the edge of the water. Those words were the cue for the actor to leave.

Marcus Brutus
B.1991, American

Marcus Brutus (b. 1991, Silver Spring, MD) is a self-taught, New York City-based artist whose paintings explore ideas of power through portraiture by examining Black American identity and civil rights struggles. Brutus, who holds a Bachelor of Science degree from St. John’s University, Queens and previously worked in Public Relations, deftly applies his innate ability of storytelling to art. Culling from a diversity of source material—fashion, film, music, archival photography, and literature, for instance—he fluidly entwines subtle and overt references to the past and present, working between imagined and documented states to create vignettes that collapse discrete eras and context. There is a palpable intensity to his work, reinforced by a radiant palette held in tension with gesso-bare canvas, and dynamically askew lines that wind and fray upon the image plane. “What I’m trying to do is establish a legacy,” Brutus explains. “I want to show these very contemporary issues but show them as having some long past.” ...
