Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This black-and-white photograph depicts two nude figures, a man and a woman, embracing under a shower of water. The composition is stark and intimate, with the subjects' bodies occupying the central focus. The use of high-contrast lighting and sharp details creates a sense of drama and immediacy. The artwork appears to explore themes of intimacy, vulnerability, and the human form. The artist's style and intention likely draw from the tradition of fine art photography, aiming to present the subjects in a sensitive and thoughtful manner. ...

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. ...
