Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a minimalist, symmetrical composition depicting a skull-like structure. The overall visual elements consist of delicate, ghostly pencil lines and shapes in shades of grey against a plain white background. The symmetrical design creates a sense of balance and duality, with the central form resembling a skull or animal skull. The artist seems to have employed a sketchy, ethereal drawing technique to evoke a contemplative, ambiguous atmosphere. The intention behind this piece may be to explore themes of mortality, the fragility of life, or the duality of existence through this abstract yet recognizable representation. ...

Artist
Marlie Mul

Marlie Mul is an artist and educator whose practice fluidly moves between sculpture, painting and textile, engaging heavily with institutional critique via installations and publishing. These various artistic directions are a result of the critical attitude in which Mul examines her position within the contours of art history and contemporary culture. Each work adopts an inquisitive, almost polyvocal character, with diverse visual registers batting for the viewer’s attention. In her textile works for example, graphic, cartoonish figures are overlayed with gestural abstract markings. Mul’s sculptural works similarly contain formal sculptural qualities, whilst the inclusion of colloquial items such as cigarette butts dethrones any sense of art-historical grandeur. This playful duality between visual language and cultural nods is a constant throughout Mul’s installations, generating both a comic and a sincere tone. The influence of Dada and Surrealism can be traced in Mul’s work, particularly the sculptures of Meret Oppenheim, whilst the amorphous practices of Hito Steyerl and Andrea Fraser serve as contemporary parallels, mirroring Mul’s commitment to criticality. ...
