Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a blurred, ghostly image of a cat wearing a necklace against a faded, hazy background. The composition is centered on the cat, with the necklace forming a distinctive V-shape. The overall visual style is soft and dreamlike, achieved through the use of a monochromatic palette and an impressionistic, out-of-focus rendering. The piece appears to explore themes of familiarity, memory, and the ephemeral nature of existence, with the cat representing a fleeting, almost spectral presence. ...

Artist

Taylor Simmons

B.1990

Taylor Simmons' practice incorporates painting, printmaking and drawing to create predominantly figurative works that centre on the emotional and physical essence of the contemporary lives he depicts. His process stems from his archive of compulsively collated imagery, which merge and manifest in his canvases through loose lines, gestural marks, fluorescent washes and erasure –– scraping the paint away to reveal abstract details. By gathering and layering fragments of what is around him, his work creates a reflection of who he is and what he sees: a face, a pose, a moment, weaving them together as a means to question why they meant something in the first place. ...
