graphite on paperCarlos/Ishikawa
Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist artwork, presented in a crisp white frame, features a delicate graphite drawing depicting abstract, cloud-like forms. The overall composition has a sense of soft, ethereal movement, with faint lines and subtle gradients creating a hazy, dreamlike quality. The use of monochromatic graphite tones and the lack of defined subject matter suggest a focus on the pure exploration of form, texture, and the evocative power of line. This contemplative piece invites the viewer to engage with the ambiguous, poetic nature of the abstract imagery, hinting at the artist's intention to evoke a meditative, introspective response. ...

B.1988, American

Tosh Basco’s practice spans across performance, photography and drawing. She is best known for her movement and body-based performances staged under the name of Boychild. Her mesmerising performances usually escape from being captured, demanding actual, physical presence. Having started to perform in San Francisco drag bars, Basco carried on shaping a uniquely alive, moving and collaborative performativity. With collaboration being a vital aspect of her practice, she co-funded Moved by the Motion, a collective entity she runs with artist and filmmaker Wu Tsang. The immediacy of Basco’s live art can be further sensed in her two-dimensional works: her photography and drawings retain a communicative, intimate eloquence. For instance, her 2021 Grief Series, born out of the artist’s personal loss, depicts monochrome fast-paced strokes which hint at a body that was once present and now gone. The simplicity of forms in Basco’s works only accentuates the complexity of their message. ...
