“The Synthetic Gaze” is an oil painting that explores the relationship between human expression and the machine systems that increasingly observe and analyze our lives.
Centered around a vibrant red focal point, the painting stages a clash between dancing bodies as a form of freeflowing human expression and the rigid, analytical ways technologies look at those same bodies.
The white tracking boxes are painted as sharp, flat graphic lines, while the dancing figures are built up with loose, expressive brushwork and textured impasto, giving the human elements a deeply evocative and tactile presence.
