Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This bold and vibrant artwork features a skeletal figure resting on a black background, surrounded by ghostly, ethereal forms that appear to be floating or emanating from the central figure. The color palette is striking, with shades of purple, blue, and green creating an otherworldly, almost psychedelic atmosphere. The artist's use of bold, gestural brushstrokes and the fragmented, abstract nature of the composition imbue the piece with a sense of dynamic energy and movement. The work seems to explore themes of mortality, the afterlife, and the transcendental nature of the human experience, offering a thought-provoking and visually captivating commentary on the human condition. ...

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. ...
