Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a striking visual composition with a bold, minimalist approach. The canvas is entirely black, save for a prominent white silhouette of a human figure. The silhouette is defined by clean, simple lines, creating an abstracted, almost ethereal depiction of the human form. The scattered white stars or dots across the body add a touch of mysticism, suggesting a celestial, otherworldly quality. The piece employs a distinctive lighting technique, using illumination to accentuate the monochromatic contrast and the striking silhouette. This visually captivating work likely aims to evoke a sense of the sublime, prompting the viewer to contemplate the human condition within a broader cosmic context. ...

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. ...
