Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork's visual elements feature a dark, textured wooden frame that encloses a vibrant, abstract floral painting. The prominent colors are yellow, green, and blue, creating a striking contrast against the muted, sombre tones of the wooden frame. The overall composition suggests a sense of depth and interplay between the frame and the artwork within. The subject matter appears to be a stylized, almost surreal depiction of flowers or plant life, with the abstract shapes and bold brushstrokes evoking an emotive, expressive quality. The artistic style and technique employed showcase a modernist approach, with the use of bold colors, gestural brushwork, and the integration of the frame as an integral part of the artwork. This work likely reflects the artist's intention to challenge traditional notions of framing and the relationship between the artwork and its surrounding environment. ...

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. ...
