Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts an abstract composition of intricate wire structures, creating a captivating visual display. The work is predominantly white in color, with the wire's organic, tangled forms evoking a sense of fragility and vulnerability. The overall composition suggests a delicate, web-like structure, hinting at themes of interconnectedness and the fragility of existence. The artist's masterful use of wire-bending techniques and the minimalist palette contribute to the artwork's ethereal and contemplative nature, inviting the viewer to ponder the duality of strength and fragility inherent in the human experience. ...

Simon Periton
Artist
Simon Periton
B.1964, British

Simon Periton (b. 1964) is a British artist living and working in London whose work encompasses painting, sculpture and installation. Marked often by an elaborate and sensuous style, his work reflects influences as diverse as fin de siècle aestheticism, the visual language of punk, cinema, and the occult. Throughout his career, Periton has developed an idiosyncratic visual language imbued with personal mythology and executed with acute precision. In various publicly commissioned artworks and sculptures (for example, Farringdon Station for the Crossrail Commission, at the New Art Centre, Roche Court; ROQ Oxford; and the Brentford Connection, all London), Periton has created outdoor pieces that make special reference to their settings while also showing the artist transmuting aesthetics of his earlier works in an ongoing exploration of naturally occurring forms and experimentations with materiality. ...

Sadie Coles HQ
London, London, London

Sadie Coles HQ is a London-based contemporary art gallery representing around fifty international artists. The gallery opened in 1997, with an inaugural exhibition of new paintings by American painter John Currin presented in parallel with an offsite show by British artist Sarah Lucas, The Law, at St John Street. This pairing established the international breadth of the gallery's programme, which has since expanded over the past two decades. Since its inception, Sadie Coles HQ has operated from a variety of spaces; most recently mounting offsite shows in Los Angeles and Mayfair in 2020 with a significant new video installation by Martine Syms. In September 2013, Sadie Coles HQ opened its largest space at 62 Kingly Street in Soho, as well as a second space at 1 Davies Street in Mayfair designed by 6a Architects in 2015, and a third space at 8 Bury Street in St James’s in April 2021. ...
