wangshui ai abstract paintings love site santa fe

WangShui, an artist known for AI-assisted abstract paintings, challenges the stereotype of tech-focused artists as isolated nerds. In a studio visit, they described their practice as a spiritual project, using machine learning to create works like 'Scr∴ pe II (Isle of Vitr∴ ous)' at the 2022 Whitney Biennial and pieces at the 2024 Venice Biennale. Their latest collaboration with Maryam Hoseini, 'The Demon and the Muse (DM),' is on view at SITE Santa Fe International, covering the facade with red oil and black ink. WangShui emphasizes that AI is a tool for exploring consciousness and healing, not a replacement for human creativity.

Sebastiaan Bremer: Super Modern Things

Edwynn Houk Gallery presents "Super Modern Things," an exhibition of new works by Sebastiaan Bremer. The artworks blend photography and painting, starting from historical source images such as 17th-century Dutch botanical catalogues and Golden Age still life paintings. Bremer photographs these reproductions and adds ink and acrylic marks—dots, lines, stains, and washes—creating rhythms that evoke language, music, emotion, and constellations. The exhibition continues his long-standing exploration of flowers and the layered histories of still life, addressing themes of beauty, mortality, value, ecology, and global exchange. An accompanying monograph of his flower series is scheduled for Fall 2026.
