Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The canvas is divided into distinct sections, blending black-and-white architectural photographs with bold, vibrant red accents.

This work reflects the artist's intention to explore the complex interplay between architecture, culture, and human experience in the context of mid-20th century Cuba. ...

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. ...
