Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary art piece features a navy blue leather handbag with a bold, graphic design. The central element is a stylized yellow illustration of a brain, surrounded by a radiating pattern that gives the impression of light or energy. The bag's simple, structured shape and hardware details create a minimalist aesthetic, while the vibrant graphic adds a playful, almost whimsical touch. The artwork appears to be an exploration of the themes of creativity, intellect, and the power of the human mind, encapsulated in a functional, fashionable accessory. ...

Her paintings and drawings, at times, characterised as “picture writing”, often feature such signs in repetitive, hieroglyph-like patterns. Rocca exhibited her work as part of the Hairy Who and alongside artists Jim Falconer, Art Green, Gladys Nilsson, Jim Nutt, and Karl Wirsum. The group’s bold and bright graphic works were seminal in transforming Chicago’s art scene, with Rocca’s works unique in their more subtle colour, texture and immediacy. ...
