Luring

This painting depicts the allure of one who seduces, attracting conquest while remaining in control. Coy is ever what draws attention, concealing only enough to gather the captivated. To some, it may be a conquest to rise up and above the heights, to embrace the brisk air that could only be found at the summit. But is it their own accord they act, or simply another driven participant of a game well played?

Acrylics on Canvas (green iridescent paint)

Size

100cm x 100cm x 4.5cm

Design

Milan Sipek

Milan sculpts the figure as a 3D model in virtual reality, decides the composition, perspective and density of the lines on the computer, and turns the lines into G-code, the path for a CNC machine. Fitted with 3D-printed nozzles, the machine lays the lines on stretched canvas in ribbons of acrylic paint, which then dry for one to three weeks so that the relief stays intact.
