Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features vibrant colors and bold, abstract shapes that create a visually striking composition. The central focus is a large, patterned form that resembles a plant or organic structure, surrounded by swirling, psychedelic elements in shades of purple, orange, and yellow. The artist's use of vivid hues and expressive, gestural brushwork evokes a sense of energy and dynamism.

Tom Allen is a painter who frequently draws inspiration from the natural world. Rather than depicting exotic flora as inanimate objects in still-life portraits, he tries to capture a sense of vitality, drawing inspiration from the flourishing period of plants. This approach alters the relationship between the painter and the subject, as a still life demands concentrated attention on the object's reality, while portraiture involves the rendering of the sitter's likeness as well as their characterisation. In his painting, some of the floral subjects are encountered during Allen's walks around his neighborhood in Los Angeles, while others are found during his travels. He emulates their likeness through photographs taken on his phone, but in the studio, his skill, palette, and knowledge of art history give birth to a personality that belongs neither to the painter nor to his subject. This creates a distinct ontology of painting that resides in a realm of vision that is inaccessible to both photography and the human eye. Allen's paintings are captivating, and the way he captures the darkened blush of a rose or the depth of a bunch of pistils on a bloom reveals a world beyond our own. ...
