Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This playful and whimsical artwork features a stack of books with a small, intricately crafted sculpture placed atop. The sculpture appears to be a miniature food item, possibly a cake or pastry, adorned with colorful decorations. The composition juxtaposes the mundane object of books with the unexpected presence of this delicate, edible-looking creation, inviting the viewer to consider the interplay between the ordinary and the extraordinary. The artist's use of precise craftsmanship and attention to detail suggests a conceptual exploration of the relationship between art, literature, and the sensory experience of food. ...

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. ...
