Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary art piece features a striking and sculptural dress-like form in a soft, powdery pink hue. The large, voluminous silhouette is created through a series of horizontal pleated panels, which give the work a sense of movement and rhythm. The dress is further embellished with textural elements such as braided ropes and tassels, adding depth and visual interest to the composition. The overall aesthetic suggests a sense of elegance and drama, inviting the viewer to contemplate the interplay between fashion, sculpture, and the human form. The work's minimalist presentation against a neutral background allows the sculptural qualities of the piece to take center stage. The artist's intention may be to explore the boundaries between wearable art and conceptual fashion. ...

Mercedes Azpilicueta’s artistic practice stands in defiance against rigid, linear historical narratives by foregrounding dissident and dissonant voices. Azpilicueta labels herself a ‘dishonest researcher’ and creates performative and sculptural installations formed in conversation with myths and legends found in libraries and archives and taking inspiration from Neo-Baroque art history, speculative and fictional Latin literature and contemporary popular culture. Azpilicueta’s approach involves focusing on specific figures from history to uncover and vocalise buried perspectives, often shedding light on South America’s queer and migrant communities and the legacy of its colonial past. Formally and conceptually, Azpilicueta’s practice embraces anachronisms. She couples industrialised production techniques with craft-based, inherited techniques, for example, traditional weaving with combining contemporary textile development technologies, to create pieces that are both inherently tied to specific histories but also implanted with contemporary cultural references. ...
