Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
This contemporary art exhibition features a series of framed works that explore a recurring triangular symbol. The visual elements consist of simple, geometric shapes in a black and white palette, with the triangle as the prominent feature. The subject matter appears to be a conceptual exploration of this elemental shape, using it as a visual motif across the different pieces.

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.

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. ...
