Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a striking and angular sculptural element prominently placed against a neutral background. The piece is composed of metallic materials, showcasing a vibrant array of colors that appear to shimmer and shift as the light hits the surface. The overall shape is dynamic and almost organic in nature, with sharp edges and a twisting, undulating form. The artist's use of reflective materials and innovative techniques creates a visually arresting and thought-provoking work that invites the viewer to consider the interplay of light, space, and material. This piece likely explores themes of transformation, movement, and the inherent beauty found in the natural world. ...

Artist
Marie Lund
B.1976, Danish

When choosing a material with which to sculpt, Marie Lund carefully considers its reaction under pressure, heat and light, whether it is heavy or seemingly weightless. Often working in copper, the artist twists, reshapes and contorts the metal with the help of a metalwork tool called an English Wheel, commonly used for making curved panels for car parts. She is intrigued by creating forms detached from their original function, the purpose of their conception. Lund’s arrangement of the sculptures within her installations is distinctly curatorial. In The Apartment (2020), canoe-like structures made from aluminium and nylon straps clung to the walls high above the visitor or were suspended just above the ground, their polished surfaces reflecting the ornate parquet flooring and activating the space, or visa versa. ...
