Yearning for lost security: an exploration into a critical engagement with AI
The series of paintings and drawings that comprise ‘Yearning for lost security’ represent an exploration into a critical engagement with AI, which has generated hybridised imagery drawn from his own photographs and found images. Simultaneously beguiling and banal, the objects are rendered with a forensic painterly process that acts to simultaneously reveal and conceal complex realities, structures, and processes.
