This contemporary art piece features a sculptural installation composed of wooden structures. The visuals are dominated by warm, earthy tones and angular, geometric shapes that create a sense of instability and precariousness. The subject matter appears to be a deconstructed chair or furniture-like form, with the wooden elements arranged in a seemingly haphazard manner. The artistic style and technique employ found materials and a minimalist, abstract approach, inviting the viewer to consider the relationships between form, function, and the fragility of constructed objects. The context of this piece likely explores themes of impermanence, the deconstruction of familiar structures, and the subversion of traditional design principles. ...
Ser Serpas’s practice exists at the blurred intersection of art, poetry and activism. Whether creating sculptures from debris found on the street, working with a hoard of fabric gifted by her friends, making an exhibition out of objects she found at the exhibition site, drawing in public spaces, or writing on train rides, Serpas makes work that complicates the notion of materiality amidst the late-capitalist condition. Created in private, intimate, seemingly improvised moments, the works are never fully -visible to her audiences. The artist’s exhibitions are composed of assemblages of discarded and mistreated objects turned corporeal, becoming what the artist calls ‘assisted readymades’. Subverting Duchamp’s readymades and Rauschenberg’s Combines – the male-dominated history of sculpture – Serpas returns the objects to the streets after her exhibitions, allowing them to revert to their original state and provokes playful questions about the value of the space inside a museum, as opposed to the outside. An activist since high -school, the artist speaks up about structural inequalities, and provides support through facilitated workshops, community aid and artistic inspiration.
