Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist artwork features a bold, orange-colored background with a simple, thought-provoking text in blue reading "If we look into the sun, then we glimpse the immeasurable." The striking visual contrast and the philosophical statement suggest an exploration of the relationship between the tangible and the intangible, inviting the viewer to contemplate the vastness and the unknowable nature of the world. The artist's intention seems to be to prompt deeper introspection and a sense of wonder through this concise yet profound visual metaphor. ...

Artist

Tony Cokes

B.1956, American

Fusing social and political commentary with cultural theory, Tony Cokes creates films, or video essays, that incorporate colour theory, music, sound and found texts quoted by various voices. The quotes from Malcolm X to David Bowie are shown against solid colourful backgrounds, accompanied by sound. A former DJ, Cokes is interested in resonances in pop culture and media that echo the past through the present lens. Addressing the representation of Blackness in film, television and advertising, the artist explores the social condition that maintains prejudice against black subjects. Tracing historical continuities through the critique of racism, capitalism and gentrification, Cokes’ fast-paced audiovisual works are visceral statements on lived experience. ...
