Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This black and white photograph depicts the upper body and torso of a person, with intricate tattoo designs visible. The composition is striking, with a focus on the detailed tattoos that cover the subject's skin. The tattoos appear to be hand-drawn, with rough, expressive lines that create a sense of rawness and authenticity. The image conveys a sense of identity, personal expression, and the human form as a canvas for artistic exploration. The historical context suggests this work may have been created by or for individuals on the margins of society, using the body as a medium for self-representation. ...

Artist
Rosângela Rennó
B.1962, Brazilian

Rosângela Rennó’s work is characterized by appropriating newspapers, old family albums, slides, discarded images found in flea markets, archives or dead files. Interested in “how the system systematically tries to erase the links to the past”, she wants to make visible society’s anonymous and overlooked protagonists who, in vernacular photographs, often express far more about the human condition than photographs with an artistic intent. Distinguished by her innovative, politically charged presentations, she appropriates and transforms archival photographic material into larger compositions, often in the form of installations or photographic books. Her work is a systematic investigation of time and of the relation between memory and forgetfulness, also visible in the social and psychological changes that transform reminiscence. She plays with the imperfection of memory and photography, both of which are fragmentary and approximate lived experience. ...

Paris, Bogotá

Established in Paris since 2010, mor charpentier represents both emerging and well-established artists whose conceptual practices are anchored in social realities, history and the politics of contrasting geographic regions. By promoting international practices, the gallery aims to broaden the knowledge of crucial debates of the present. A significant inaugural show with Colombian master, Oscar Muñoz, fulfilled a void in the French artistic scene by broadening the spectrum of origins, subjects and identities in the art market. Ever since, a growing number of major international artists have joined the gallery. Coming from different generations and global backgrounds, they all share a commitment to either political, feminist, post-colonial, queer or human rights causes. Amongst them are Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Teresa Margolles, Chen Ching-Yuan, Liliana Porter, Bouchra Khalili, Carlos Motta, Hajra Waheed, and more. Equal gender representation and diversity is also part of the gallery goals, with half of the represented artists being women. In 2021 mor charpentier opened a second exhibition space in Bogotá. This expansion was driven to expand the reach of the gallery program to new publics and encourage artists to explore new territories. It consolidated a long-term bond with the Latin American art scene and the international projection of the gallery. ...
