Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist artwork features a pale green, cylindrical form leaning against a white wall. The simple, geometric shape and muted color palette create a serene and subdued atmosphere. The artwork appears to employ a minimalist aesthetic, emphasizing the essential elements of form, color, and negative space. This understated, sculptural piece likely invites the viewer to contemplate the relationship between the object and its surrounding environment. The artist's intention may be to explore themes of balance, materiality, and the interplay of light and shadow within a pared-down, conceptual framework. ...

Olga Balema’s artworks are an investigation of form. They are characterised by a tense relationship and contrasts in materiality, often comprising a hard framework with soft, fragile innards. Balema frequently employs latex which, especially in Bread for Life (2016), is held taut and barbed by jagged steel rods, or perhaps armatures, recalling Eva Hesse’s postminimalist practice and the slow sagging of the material over time. The notion of tension – perhaps most commonly, representations of the contrast between the hard bones of a human skeleton and the flesh that furnishes it – are further echoed in the rubber bands and shoelaces plotting a geometry across the gallery floor in brain damage (2019), the teetering globules of latex, moulded to look like breasts, protruding from the globe in 2016’s Globe, tacked on unsteadily, and the soft PVC sacks filled with steel rods and water, ready to burst, in Threat to Civilization 2 (2015). ...
