Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a striking, surreal composition with a central female figure surrounded by two serpent-like appendages in vibrant shades of red. The overall visual elements create a symbolic, almost ritualistic impression, with the curious juxtaposition of the human face and the reptilian forms. The artist employs a distinctive mixed-media technique, combining sculptural elements with lighting to achieve a unique, visually captivating effect. The piece likely explores themes of duality, transformation, and the intersection of the human and the primal within the contemporary artistic context. ...

Artist
Soshiro Matsubara
B.1980, Japanese

Soshiro Matsubara’s work is concerned with eroticism, desire, the lewd and the absurd. During an artistic process that begins with the accumulation of old magazine snippets and antiques, he pieces together assembled sculptures made from glazed ceramics, depictions of estranged or deranged lovers entwined. Much of Matsubara’s work has focused on Oskar Kokoschka and his bizarre and turbulent relationship with Alma Mahler, which saw him commission a life-sized doll of his ex-lover, a physical manifestation of his lovesickness and desperation. Matsubara says that he is attracted to the obsession, attachment, weirdness and humour of the story. Through the installations and paintings that Kokoschka’s love affair inspired, Matsubara raises questions of simulation, stimulation and the uncanny. ...
