Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract artwork features a simple yet striking composition. The visual elements consist of stark black-and-white lines and shapes, creating a sense of contrast and depth. The subject matter appears to depict a set of wooden panels or planks, with the grain and texture of the wood emphasized through the use of expressive brushstrokes. The artistic style is reminiscent of minimalism, with a focus on the essential qualities of the materials and the interplay of light and shadow. The overall impression is one of simplicity and restraint, suggesting a meditative or contemplative mood. The context of this piece may lie in the artist's exploration of the inherent beauty and character of ordinary materials, inviting the viewer to appreciate the beauty in the mundane. ...

Artist

Özgür Kar

1992 , Turkish

Özgür Kar (b. 1992 in Ankara, Turkey) lives and works in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Kar’s works assemble in space to function as scenes from theatre pieces: each serves as a character playing its part within a non-linear score and script. Working with voice actors and instrumentalists, Kar produces multi-part soundscapes that unfold through solemn repetition, forging existential dread mixed with cartoonish macabre. Stoic in their contemplation, his minimally animated drawings are set in imperceptible loops that turn videos into sculptures confined within the edge of television screens. Beyond the camp-ness of macabre, or the grotesque anxiety of death juxtaposed with cartoonish figures, the theatricality of Kar’s work is set in tonal displays of contemporary existentialism. ...
