This contemporary art piece features an abstract composition of bold, dripping black brushstrokes against a plain white background. The haphazard, expressive markings create a sense of movement and spontaneity, with the artist's gestural technique lending an emotional, almost calligraphic quality to the work. While the subject matter is not immediately recognizable, the artwork suggests a focus on the physicality and materiality of the paint itself, reflecting the artist's interest in the expressive potential of abstract mark-making. This piece likely aims to challenge traditional notions of painting and explore the boundaries between representation and pure abstraction. ...
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.
