Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a striking visual composition with a predominant use of dark, muted tones and abstract shapes. The central panel showcases a bold, vibrant red circle against a deep blue backdrop, creating a striking visual contrast. The surrounding areas are characterized by a textured, distressed surface, suggesting an intentional aesthetic choice. The overall style appears to be a blend of abstract expressionism and conceptual art, with the artist employing unique techniques to evoke a sense of depth and emotion. The context of this piece likely reflects the artist's exploration of themes related to the human condition, inviting the viewer to engage with the work on a deeper, introspective level. ...

Artist
Sam Windett
B.1977, British

Employing abstracted systems and model-logic to make sense of information, Sam Windett’s paintings construct their own language with their dark, contrasted hues and recurring shapes. Evoking sculptural assemblages, the artist translates the forms, lines and outlines of plants, gaffer tape, wood, ribbons and motorways into painterly versions. Mysterious in their totemic appearance, the works contextualise balance and interconnectedness, both visually and conceptually. Windett’s work is process-based, whereby the paintings are created through the continuous layering, as well as removal, of paint and paper. Collaged and dazzling, Windett’s paintings are temporal experimentations of personal and collective memory, representation and abstraction. Written by Goldsmiths CCA ...
