Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist contemporary artwork features a stark contrast between the dark, rectangular central panel and the intricate, tattered white forms that border it. The overall composition creates a sense of tension and fragmentation, with the jagged edges and uneven textures lending a raw, industrial quality to the piece. The artist's use of simple, geometric shapes and monochromatic palette suggest a focus on exploring the interplay of light and shadow, as well as the relationship between positive and negative space. The work's title and the artist's intention behind it remain open to interpretation, inviting the viewer to ponder the deeper conceptual themes it may convey. ...

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. ...
