Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a stark, monochromatic skeleton illuminated against a dark background. The stark white skeletal form is the central focus, with the bones and joints clearly defined. The overall composition creates a striking visual contrast, emphasizing the dramatic silhouette of the skeleton. The minimalist style and the use of negative space suggest a conceptual and symbolic approach, perhaps alluding to mortality, the fragility of the human body, or the universal experience of death. The artist's intention may be to evoke a sense of contemplation on the ephemeral nature of existence. ...

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. ...
