Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a monochromatic skeleton-like figure rendered in a sketchy, minimalist style against a beige background. The composition features elongated, fragmented limbs and a central spine-like structure, conveying a sense of anatomical abstraction. The use of simple, gestural lines and negative space creates an ethereal, almost ghostly quality to the piece. The title "Gloria excelsior" suggests the work may explore themes of spirituality or the human condition in an introspective, symbolic manner. ...

Marie Jacotey draws inspiration from human interactions and the expression of emotions in various contexts, including architecture, landscape, and environment. Her paintings examine details such as wallpaper, furniture, clothes, patterns, patinas, and textures. Despite using manual techniques such as painting on plaster and dust sheets, making pencil drawings, using soft pastel on Japanese paper, and sewing fabrics, her pieces incorporate perspectives that allude to the realm of film, slow-motion, and the photographer's viewpoint. Jacotey's practice focuses more on lyrical expression rather than political commentary, featuring stylized visuals that tell personal, diary-like stories about relatable situations, sexuality, everyday relationships, and the female body. Her work conveys a narrative through accompanying fragments of text sourced from various places, including books by Henry Miller and snippets of conversations overheard in cafes or between friends. She also borrows imagery from Instagram, which is particularly noteworthy given the platform's role in shaping and reflecting how women experience and portray their lives online. ...
