Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist artwork features a simple, rectangular table composed of geometric shapes and minimal colors. The table's top is made of a plain wooden surface, resting on two rectangular white pedestals. The overall composition emphasizes clean lines, balance, and a focus on the essential elements. The artist's style reflects a modernist approach, prioritizing function over ornament and inviting the viewer to contemplate the relationship between form, space, and materiality. This work likely aims to challenge conventional notions of furniture design and encourage a more thoughtful engagement with everyday objects. ...

Artist
Steve Bishop
B.1983, Canadian

Steve Bishop works with fabricated and found materials and objects to articulate the poignancy and humour in sentimentality. His installations, such as little statues, a bowl of milk and cereal, an unmade bed, a half-eaten cake, or a screenshot of a Facebook chat, point to both the importance and futility of time and of a human life. Experiencing his installations produces an eerie feeling of entering into domestic settings but finding their inhabitants missing. Bishop’s video works feature touching amateur and found footage, like karaoke performances and cover songs. His works, to put it in the artist’s words, are “containers for something”, that “something” being evermore personal. Thus, the artist’s objectively everyday representations carry a subjective substance of serenity of human existence and cosiness of a regular life. ...
