Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork presents a striking black and white composition, dominated by the skeletal forms of a human figure. The shape and arrangement of the bones create a dynamic, asymmetrical design, emphasizing the fragility and mortality of the human body. The overall style is reminiscent of anatomical illustrations, yet the surreal, dreamlike quality suggests a deeper symbolic meaning. This piece likely explores themes of death, the human condition, and the underlying structures that make up our physical form, offering a thought-provoking commentary on the universal experiences that connect us all. ...

Artist

Özgür Kar

B.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. ...
