Signed by Alexander Korzer-Robinson

This artwork is a striking black-and-white composition that combines intricate detail with a compelling narrative. Central to the piece is a densely packed assembly of figures, each uniquely expressive and engaged in varied activities that suggest a dynamic, bustling scene. The artist employs a meticulous use of shading and texture, rendering clothing, facial expressions, and surroundings with remarkable precision. A notable characteristic of the work is its layered arrangement, wherein the figures are intertwined, drawing the viewer's eye across the canvas in a continuous flow. This technique not only enhances the sense of movement but also conveys a rich tapestry of human experience. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth, giving each character a palpable presence. At the heart of the artwork is a dramatic interplay of emotions, from contemplation to joy and introspection. The figures appear to be engaged in storytelling or communal gathering, evoking themes of connection and shared narratives. The backdrop, subtly integrated with intricate floral motifs, hints at a harmonious relationship between nature and humanity, further enriching the artwork's thematic undertones. The framing of the piece, with its vintage border, suggests a historical context, adding layers of meaning and inviting interpretations related to time and memory. This masterful blend of detail, emotion, and narrative creates a captivating and thought-provoking experience for the viewer.

Presentation

Alexander Korzer-Robinson is a UK-based artist whose work transforming antiquarian books has brought him international acclaim. Working mainly in collage and related techniques, the practice's focus are sculptural artworks made from antiquarian books.


The base material for his "cut book sculptures" are old books that have been stripped of their utilitarian value by the passage of time. Working through a book, page by page, a new composition is formed using only the contents of the original volume.


Alexander Korzer-Robinson: 'The use of antiquarian books makes the work at the same time an exploration and a deconstruction of nostalgia. We create our own past from fragments of reality in a process that combines the willful aspects of remembering and forgetting with the coincidental and unconscious.'
