Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a surreal, ghostly figure standing against a dark background. The figure is painted in shades of gray and white, with distinct facial features highlighted by blue circles around the eyes. The figure's arms are crossed, creating a sense of tension and introspection. The overall composition is striking and minimalist, with the figure's stark, angular form and the contrasting blue circles drawing the viewer's attention. This piece appears to explore themes of identity, vulnerability, and the human condition through its stylized, symbolic representation. The artist's intention may be to evoke a sense of mystery, isolation, or the complexity of the human experience. ...

An island is all surrounded by water In the morning foreboding Quickly solved by dripping A shower, you know A slow crawl to the park Wait first meat A coffee A hill A roundabout A breeze on the lake A larking body of water, once screaming once babbling, once running A sleeping family A white child with A water gun A tall tree A tunneling A horn Another A too small blanket, you in my mind and next to me A wind in my ears, my basement look what I found, leave the lights on A sigh A tie on a rooftop A still flooding Another horn All in the flight path An immovable object A clapping of leaves A certainty, it is seven feet deep One boy watches the other A horn

We talked of the slide show in the circus. Use a pencil to write the first draft. He ran half way to the hardware store. The clock struck to mark the third period. A small creek cut across the field. Cars and busses stalled in snow drifts. Not clumping. The set of china hit, the floor with a crash. This is a grand season for hikes on the road. The dune rose from the edge of the water. Those words were the cue for the actor to leave.

Blaues Blut (Blue Blood)
Artist
Raphaela Simon
B.1986, German

Raphaela Simon is known for her painting, marked by simple, indistinct forms set against monochromatic backgrounds. She employs a multi-stage process, diligently overpainting and altering elements to create a palimpsestic effect. This approach allows colors to shimmer through various layers, enhancing the composition’s subtleties. Often reminiscent of portraiture, her works’ titles reference ordinary objects and motifs, suggesting a hidden figurative potential and engaging the viewer's propensity to assign meaning to abstract forms. Since 2018, Simon has broadened her artistic scope to include the fabrication of intricate fabric objects and figures. Witnessed together, these sculptural entities posit their own stories, whilst simultaneously echoing the tonality of the works on canvas. Simon deftly traverses the fragile boundary between representational and pure abstraction. The layering of oil on her canvases is incredibly important, as it provides these surfaces with a solid, tangible presence. This method, combined with the unruled edges of her abundant stripes, infuses her creations with life and vibrancy, allowing them to resonate as living forms of abstraction with the viewers. ...
