Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a striking visual composition with a bold, vibrant blue background contrasted against a distorted, close-up image of an open mouth with prominent teeth. The subject matter is a captivating and somewhat unsettling close-up of a creature's gaping maw, emphasizing the textures and details of its dentition. The style and technique employed appear to be a digital manipulation or photographic manipulation, creating a surreal and unsettling effect. This piece may be intended to evoke a sense of discomfort or to challenge the viewer's perception of the natural world. ...

Pulling from influences that span his Caribbean heritage, voodoo traditions, devotional and Baroque art, Pol Taburet’s paintings are unique, enigmatic and immediately recognisable. While compositional and stylistic elements within the artist’s works are reminiscent of 20th Century painter Francis Bacon – specifically through their abstracted, distorted and sometimes horrifying figuration, and the two-dimensional colour blocking of the figures’ backdrops – Taburet combines acrylic paint with digital airbrushing.
