Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The image depicts a cluttered, industrial-looking space with brick walls that are covered in a collage of handwritten posters, flyers, and protest signs. The dominant colors are yellow, red, and black, creating a striking visual contrast. The overall composition appears chaotic and disorderly, reflecting the urgent and impassioned messaging conveyed through the various text-based elements. The subject matter addresses a range of public health issues, from the "Mad Cow Disease" to calls for "Demand Vaccine Investigation," suggesting a broader social and political commentary. The artistic style and technique employ a grassroots, DIY aesthetic, highlighting the grassroots nature of the activism and protest represented. The context of this artwork suggests a critical engagement with pressing societal concerns and a call for collective action. ...

Artist

Roger Hiorns

1975 , British

Roger Hiorns employs various techniques and materials to investigate different facets of contemporary life, challenging assumptions and revealing the complexities underlying everyday experiences. His works incorporate found objects and materials, often transformed through processes of assemblage, painting, or chemical alteration. These processes draw attention to unexpected connections and tensions between disparate elements, such as industrial machinery and psychoactive drugs, or brain matter and artistic expression. Hiorns' artistic practice engages with the contemporary challenge of ascribing meaning and significance to the world. He investigates power relations and the subversion of authority through the interaction between organic and inorganic objects, such as a passenger jet aircraft engine atomized, antidepressants embedded in complex machinery, a nude youth aligned with nuanced objects, and a series of buried aircraft. His sculptures occupy a space between opposing concepts, such as construction and destruction, theology and technology, and authoritarian control and organic spontaneity. The underlying sense of discomfort in Hiorns' works connects them to the pervasive global anxiety that permeates our daily existence and understanding of reality.go ...
