Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork consists of two identical black-and-white grids, each composed of a repetitive pattern of small, evenly spaced squares. The overall composition is stark and minimalist, with a strong emphasis on the interplay of positive and negative space. The uniform, grid-like structure and the use of only black and white tones suggest a focus on geometric abstraction and formal elements rather than representation. The subject matter is purely abstract, relying on the visual impact of the repeated square motif to create a sense of rhythm and visual texture. The work appears to employ a screen-printing or stencil technique, giving the grids a flat, graphic quality. The artist's style and approach reflect the principles of minimalism and Op Art, using simple, geometric shapes and patterns to explore perceptual and optical effects. The work's emphasis on pure form and the systematic, mechanistic repetition of elements evoke the influence of Constructivist and Bauhaus design aesthetics. In the context of contemporary art, this piece likely reflects the artist's interest in exploring the expressive potential of abstraction, challenging the viewer's perception, and creating a visually striking, meditative experience. ...

Susan Hefuna

1962 , Egyptian/German

Susan Hefuna is fascinated in the networks and structures of connection that inhabit public spaces and how they become the framework for peoples’ interactions with each other, in particular how these networks become visible through and influenced by architectural models and city planning. Upon arriving at a city, she spends a few days traversing its streets and squares until this calmative process lulls her into a state in which she feels ready to compose work that will capture the atmosphere of the location. Her drawings, often her initial artistic response to a place,start with a single dot or line that unfolds in a single session without the need for preliminary drafts. The resulting work is not subjected to a pre-determined system but instead are intuitively composed and open to changes and subversions that are influenced by the specific location. Hefuna’s delicately composed structures suggest interlocking forms, such as DNA, embroidery, molecular structures and most significantly, buildings or maps. Each relating to a place not through reproducing its recognisable visual facets, but rather through materialising the abstract impression it has on the artist. ...
