Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract artwork features a vibrant oval-shaped composition against a deep blue background. The central focus is a swirling, dynamic pattern in warm tones that create a sense of movement and energy. The artist has employed a unique technique, likely utilizing a metallic medium or relief printing, to achieve the textured, almost molten appearance of the central form. The work's minimalist style and emphasis on shape, color, and texture suggest a modernist approach, inviting the viewer to contemplate the interplay of materials and the expressive power of abstraction. ...

Artist
Paul Maheke
B.1985, French

Through various art forms and disciplines, from drawing to performance, Paul Maheke has pursued a long-term exploration of the ways in which marginalised bodies, narratives and histories are made visible and invisible. Resisting an exploration of identity that is framed solely within identity politics, Paul Maheke's trajectory has always been channeled through spectral sensations. By reconfiguring the sensible, Mahake nurtures the formation of a self through a state of in-betweenness; a state where esoteric, spiritual, queer and embodied knowledge help the artist garner the potential of a prophecy. ...
