This contemporary abstract painting features a bold and dynamic composition. The canvas is dominated by a central earthy-toned form, surrounded by hues of green, pink, and red that create a sense of depth and movement. The layered textures and gestural brushstrokes suggest an organic, almost geological quality, hinting at the natural world's primal forces. The work's ambiguous, yet evocative imagery invites the viewer to explore the interplay of color, texture, and form, reflecting the artist's exploration of the interrelationship between the physical and the metaphysical realms. ...
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.
