Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features an abstract composition using a variety of textures and materials. The central panel displays a striking interplay of dark, earthy tones punctuated by vibrant bursts of orange, creating a sense of depth and complexity. The overall composition is framed by a wooden border, adding a natural, rustic element to the piece. The artist seems to have employed techniques like layering, collage, and experimentation with different materials to convey a powerful, emotive visual experience. The juxtaposition of the abstract central panel with the simple, geometric artwork on the left suggests an interplay between order and chaos, inviting the viewer to contemplate the deeper meaning or symbolism underlying the work. ...

Tanoa Sasraku

B.1995, British

With a practice that moves freely between filmmaking, drawing and textiles, Tanoa Sasraku does work that engages directly with her cultural identity and familial history. A hallmark of the artist’s practice is her appliquéd newsprint flags, which are frayed and layered over one another. Inspired by her paternal ancestors’ fabrication of war flags in resistance to British colonial rule in coastal Ghana, Sasraku creates these pieces to stitch together her identity and make sense of the past. As a bi-racial, gay woman from Plymouth in South West England, Sasraku’s identity is also entangled with rural Britain, something she has examined through recent analogue film projects. ...
