Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This vibrant, contemporary artwork features a striking combination of bold colors and abstract forms. The composition juxtaposes a surreal, pixelated figure in shades of purple and white against a vivid green backdrop. The figure appears to be dripping with a bright red, viscous substance, adding an unsettling and unsettling element to the piece. The artist seems to be exploring themes of technology, identity, and the human condition through the use of digital manipulation and unconventional visual elements. The overall style and technique create a visually arresting and thought-provoking work that challenges the viewer's perceptions and invites deeper contemplation. ...

Artist
Monira Al Qadiri
B.1983, Kuwaiti

Monira Al Qadiri is a multimedia artist who was raised in Kuwait. Her artistic practice spans geopolitics, petropolitics and diplomacy. It investigates the cultural history of her native land, its history of invasion and intervention, and how it has been infiltrated and informed by foreign and domestic rituals and power relations. While Al Qadiri’s work is drenched in the legacy and omniscience of oil within Kuwait, pearls provide a further motif. Before becoming a petrostate, pearling was Kuwait’s main export, and the artist’s grandfather worked as a singer on a pearl diving boat. Al Qadiri draws links between pearls and petrol, both iridescent by nature, refracting light and historically coveted. Gender identity is another theme that hangs over the artist’s work; she often plays with binary, entrenched gender roles, adopting a male persona, such as in the music video, Abu Athiyya (Father of Pain). This piece is a lament or, as the artist describes, a ‘eulogy towards the aesthetics of sadness’. Al Qadiri uses VHS footage, both newly shot and retrieved from her childhood, to create multilayered ruminations on cultural collision, mass media and globalisation. ...
