Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a striking black and white image of what appears to be a powerful figure or creature set against a soft pink background.

The detailed, expressive rendering of the figure's features and the dramatic use of contrasting tones create a sense of intensity and mystery. The artwork's style and technique suggest a contemporary, illustrative approach that imbues the piece with a sense of emotional depth and symbolic resonance, though the specific meaning or intention behind the work is not readily apparent. ...

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. ...
