Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract painting features a striking black and white composition, with irregular, scattered patterns that create a sense of visual chaos and dynamism. The contrast between the dark and light tones, coupled with the asymmetrical arrangement, suggests a raw, visceral energy. The artist's style appears to be heavily influenced by abstract expressionism, utilizing spontaneous and gestural techniques to convey a powerful emotional response.

blank projects

Cape Town

Based in a 360 sqm gallery in Woodstock, Cape Town, blank was founded by Jonathan Garnham as a project space in 2005 and transitioned into a commercial gallery during 2012. The gallery represents emerging and increasingly established artists from the region in a critically engaged programme that emphasises contemporaneity, with a focus on concept and abstraction in the African context. With an exhibition programme that has a reputation for shaping the discourse around contemporary art in South(ern) Africa, and participation in prominent local and international art fairs, we seek to place our artists' work in a wide range of private and institutional collections. In addition, blank continues to promote the visual arts in our community through ongoing projects that support the sector. ...
