Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This vibrant contemporary artwork showcases a dynamic interplay of colors, shapes, and textures. The bold, abstract composition features a dominant red form that appears to be a distorted architectural element, contrasted against a backdrop of muted tones and gestural brushstrokes.

Lagos, London

Founded in London in 2011 by Maria Varnava, Tiwani Contemporary exhibits and represents international contemporary artists. Specifically, the gallery champions artists from Africa and its diaspora.
