Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a monochromatic marble-like pattern that serves as the backdrop, with two identical rabbit-like figures positioned in the center. The rabbits are depicted with simple line drawings, yet their expressions convey a sense of mischief or displeasure. The overall composition creates a striking visual contrast between the soft, ethereal background and the bold, minimalist figures. The artist's stylistic choice and the use of negative space suggest a playful and thought-provoking exploration of duality, expression, and the interplay between the abstract and the representational. ...

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. ...
