This abstract painting features a vibrant and dynamic composition of fluid, organic shapes in a harmonious palette of blues, pinks, and greens. The overlapping forms create a sense of depth and movement, evoking a dreamlike, surreal atmosphere. The artist's distinctive technique, which appears to involve techniques like airbrushing or digital manipulation, lends the work a soft, hazy quality. The overall impression is one of playful, visceral exploration of color and form, reflecting the artist's intention to create a visually captivating and emotionally evocative abstract work. ...
Sebastian Black is a painter and sculptor who depicts colourful, fragmented and multi-layered forms that confuse the delineation between abstraction and representation. Black’s paintings are playful, satirising the art world, the stereotypically sombre eye of the critic, and the outlandish speculations made by viewers when trying to determine the meaning of an artwork. An ode to the cubism of the early 20th century, Black’s works are like the Rorschach test; some portray drooping dog’s faces that also appear like female forms if viewed in a different way. Black seeks to unpick and reimagine the notion of abstraction in order to manipulate the viewer’s relationship, both with his works and with their own perceptions.
