Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a calm, monochromatic seascape interrupted by a vibrant array of floating, circular shapes in various hues. The composition evokes a playful and whimsical atmosphere, with the colorful elements creating a sense of movement and energy across the otherwise serene water. The artist's use of simple, bold shapes and contrasting colors suggests an exploration of themes related to the interplay of nature and human-made objects. This contemporary piece invites the viewer to contemplate the juxtaposition of the natural and the artificial within a minimalist, visually striking framework. ...

Artist
Otto Berchem
B.1967, American

Otto Berchem’s practice explores social and visual codes, focusing on the relationships between language, architecture, history and poetry. His conceptual based practice employs a wide variety of media, including painting, video, public interventions and other unconventional artist activities. Berchem’s interest in codes goes back to 1994’s Men’s Room Etiquette, a public intervention touching upon the unwritten codes of how men behave with other men in public toilets. With The Dating Market, a project conceived in 2000, Berchem created a series of shopping baskets with a flower motif that patrons of supermarkets could opt for, labelling themselves “available” and looking for a date. In Temporary Person Passing Through, a work for the 2005 the Istanbul Biennial, Berchem investigated the relationship between Istanbul’s street children and their movement within the city, using the visual language of Hobo Signs, a system of symbols employed by itinerant workers in the USA from the 19th to the mid 20th century. With his recent work, the artist continues his exploration of signs, human relationships and codes, to create a chromatic alphabet. Berchem’s chromatic code is inspired by the writings of Jorge Adoum and Vladimir Nabokov, Peter Saville’s designs for the first three New Order albums, and the condition of Synesthesia. Through the use of this alphabet, Berchem has proposed a series of works reviewing iconic images and creating his own documents by strategically deleting preexisting meanings and slogans, and replacing them with his interpretation of reality. ...

Instituto de Visión
Bogotá, New York City

Instituto de Vision is a Bogotá and New York based gallery for conceptual practices. Their mission is to investigate conceptual discourses that have been neglected by the official Latin American art canon. They have recovered important estates from the Latin American art of the mid century and continue to research the most enigmatic oeuvres of the region. Through a parallel program, they represent some of the most relevant contemporary practices from Colombia, Chile, North America, Venezuela, and others. Directed by three women, Instituto de Vision gives special attention to female voices, queer theories, environmental activism, the conflicts of migration, and other critical positions that challenge the established order. Using the international art scene as a platform, they are committed to give visibility and expand the work of artists that reveal critical realities and raise important questions for these contemporary subjects. ...
