Gallery FLOX - Obergraben 10 - 01097 Dresden / in the Neustadt baroque quarter

"Imitators: Painting after AI"
In my paintings, I typically combine places in my hometown, important people, and memories of personal experiences to create single paintings or series of paintings that focus primarily on America and growing up. Although I enjoy drawing from life in my sketchbook, my paintings are often created from personal photographs or digitally collaged images that mix both primary and secondary sources. Recently, I have been particularly fascinated by the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in shaping the future of image making and visual communication. For my Interior Series, I use images generated by AI text-image programmes. With the help of AI algorithms, I was able to create images that are captivating, thought-provoking and sometimes disturbing. AI can be used to create images that are beyond human imagination and push the boundaries of what is possible in visual art. This work challenges our perception of what is real and what is artificial and raises questions about the ethics of AI in art, particularly in painting.

Detlef Schweiger allows the elements of his lavur paintings to intersect without completely covering each other, as they are painted more or less transparently. Over the last ten years, Schweiger has developed the rare technique of pure ink lavur in a new process with technical brilliance, creating a completely independent style  and world of forms which, although not figurative, is richly reminiscent of organic, tectonic and other natural structures.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue with a foreword by Holger Wendland (Berlin) and a special edition with an original lineament woodcut by Detlef Schweiger and Kay Busch (edition of 66 copies).
