This minimalist artwork features a series of flowing, organic white lines and shapes against a stark black background. The composition has a sense of movement and fluidity, with the intersecting lines creating a dynamic and interconnected visual rhythm. The use of only two contrasting colors - black and white - highlights the focus on form, line, and the interplay of positive and negative space. The style seems to draw inspiration from abstract expressionism, with the artist utilizing a spontaneous and gestural approach to create a captivating, ambiguous, and thought-provoking visual experience. This work may explore themes of human connection, emotion, or the subconscious through its abstract and evocative visual language. ...
From the climate crisis to systems of power dynamics to technological automation, Nikita Gale creates large-scale installations that explore the socio-economic politics of space, visibility and transformation. Twisted metal barricades, concrete, microphone stands, spotlights, sound and light are used in her installations to investigate ways space and sound can be – and are– politicised. With a background in anthropology and archeology, Gale incorporates everyday consumerist objects, exploring their cultural significance and the role of their materiality in economic and social systems. Ruin, attention and structures are running themes of Gale’s multidisciplinary practice that recently has further focused on climate change and the resulting anxiety. The artist often approaches her audience as a social arena, with sound, silence, sculptural barriers and visibility becoming conditions to a politicised presence, both of the artwork and the viewer.
