New exhibition: AI's Impact on Modern Art

In “AI Influence on Contemporary Painting," artists Jonathan Yeo, Von Wolfe, and Henry Hudson have embraced AI and technology to redefine the essence of a new series of paintings, seamlessly integrating artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technologies into this new series.

Through these groundbreaking works, they explore and masterly navigate the complex relationship between humanity and machines, prompting a re-evaluation of art's future, probing the boundaries of AI's capacity to expand or limit artistic expression, extending to questions of identity, development, authenticity, originality, reality, and the evolving landscape of creativity in the digital age.

Jonathan Yeo's exploration of the power dynamics between humanity and technology evokes a strategic chess game, where the outcome remains uncertain. Known for his radical approach to portraiture, Yeo presents a captivating series that transcends conventional identity. By employing 3D scanning technology and algorithms to reimagine self-portraiture, Yeo's canvases blur the boundaries between the tangible and the virtual. This invites viewers to question the authenticity of representation in our technologically driven world.

Like a meticulous gardener, Von Wolfe manipulates AI to cultivate a landscape of visual narratives, skillfully arranging and crafting his protagonists within it. Von Wolfe's process embodies the seamless interplay between the artist's practice as an oil painter and the forefront of technological innovation. Striking a balance between intuitive human discernment and a cutting-edge, node-based system using diffusion models, the resulting works showcase astounding precision. Von Wolfe navigates the boundary between the digital and tactile realm.

For Henry Hudson, the notion of AI evokes a sense of hysteria, questioning its limits, our control over it, and whether it ultimately controls us. Henry Hudson melds technology seamlessly into his sculptures, transcending physical and digital boundaries. His creations serve as a metaphor for the fluidity of existence in the digital age, prompting contemplation on the influence of AI on our lives.

"AI and Technology Influence on Contemporary Painting" invites introspection and dialogue: Is AI and technology a liberating force for creativity, or does it pose risks, questioning or challenging the essence of genuine ideas in painting? These questions linger, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of discovery alongside these visionary artists.

The upcoming London exhibition "AI and Technology Influence on Contemporary Painting" is curated by Virginia Damtsa.
