Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork is a collage-like piece that combines visual elements and textual references. The composition features a large black-and-white photograph of a partially constructed high-rise building, with its skeletal steel frame prominently displayed. Contrasting with the architectural element is a newspaper clipping that reads "Vibro la patria" (Vibrate the homeland), suggesting a political or social commentary. The overall style and use of mixed media techniques reflect an avant-garde, experimental approach characteristic of contemporary art. This piece likely comments on the rapid urban development and its impact on national identity or societal values during the artist's time. ...

Terence Gower

The desire to reexamine the notion of progress, a term corrupted by the excess of technological modernism, is fundamental in the work of Terence Gower. His work manifests dialogues between architecture and art by investigating the ideas of form, modernity, abstraction and the identity of the artist. The interest of the artist revolves around how non-representational forms can convey meaning. For him, abstract forms can communicate abstract ideas more effectively than representative or pictorial ones. Gower uses a wide variety of media including video, sculpture, drawing, installation and architecture. The artist works on numerous projects simultaneously, which he develops over a period of several years. His most recent projects can be described as what Gower calls "curatorial installations" in which he combines video, sculpture, works of other artists and material from his archive. In this way, its facilities offer various points of access to the subject under study to the spectators. ...
