Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a large, realistic sculpture of a pink pig's head, prominently displayed on a pedestal. The sculpture's smooth, fleshy texture and lifelike details create a striking visual effect. The pig's snout is open, revealing a pile of gold coins inside the pedestal, suggesting themes of greed, materialism, or the exploitation of animals. The artist employs a surreal, almost theatrical approach, inviting the viewer to consider the broader societal implications of consumerism and our complex relationship with animals. Through this powerful sculptural piece, the artist likely aims to provoke contemplation on issues of wealth, morality, and the human condition. ...

B.1990

Steph Huang's artistic practice centers around the integration of both local and foreign cultures, achieved through the repurposing of leftover materials and ready-made objects. This approach allows Huang to examine the surreal absurdity of collective human behavior and its impact on labor force and economy within a capitalist framework. By encompassing sculpture, installation, sound, and photography, Huang delves into the intricate relationship between history, global economics, and colonialism, highlighting the complexity of these themes. Through their autobiographical narrative storytelling method, exemplified by works such as Verbalise Vase (2022) and the Future Message (2021), Huang closely observes incidental details and explores the relationships between objects as well as their ties to eccentric moments in everyday life. The examination of the contemporary human experience is achieved through a close attention to incidental details and the exploration of the relationship between objects, as well as their connection to particular moments in daily life. Huang frequently employs analog photography to capture these moments, which serve as a starting point for new concepts conveyed through assemblage, resulting in sculptural works that possess a lyrical quality and invite the viewer to engage with them. ...
