Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a minimalist composition with a predominance of neutral tones, primarily white and black. The central visual element is a book titled "Caresses" displayed prominently on the wall. The book's simple, typographic cover design contrasts with the more intricate and organic ceramic sculpture placed on the floor below it. The sculpture, with its curving forms and textured surface, creates a tactile and sensory counterpoint to the flat, two-dimensional book. The overall aesthetic suggests a contemplation on themes of intimacy, touch, and the relationship between the physical and the conceptual. The artist's intention may be to explore the interplay between the intimate, embodied experience and the more abstract or intellectual realm. ...

Artist

Soshiro Matsubara

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. ...
