Marble Rumors
Marble Rumors
The marble rumors are so loud, they're deafening.
They fill the hallway and echo down the halls.
The marble rumors are so loud, they're deafening.
They fill the bathroom stalls and echo across the toilets.
The marble rumors are so loud, they're deafening.
They fill the mirrors and reflect back at me with every glance, every glance, every glance.
Bio:
Ilya's goal is to create psychological tension by blurring the lines between reality and illusion by blending human form with abstraction, creating a surreal, dreamlike state. His work uses surreal imagery to get viewers to think about their own psyches by juxtaposing memories and emotions with seemingly visceral imagery. In his paintings, Shkipin uses both machine learning techniques and traditional artistic techniques to create images that are both familiar yet off-kilter. His paintings blend multiple styles, including surrealism, expressionism, abstract expressionism, cubism, and pop art, to create an otherworldly atmosphere that is simultaneously comforting yet unsettling. Shkipin hopes that by employing neural networks, he can disrupt and disturb people's comfort zones while also providing them with an outlet for expressing their own discomfort.
