Statement
Recent Work
2023 was the first major climacteric in twenty-first century art, owing to the powerful emergence of AI generated images. Aleksander is investigating the powerful symbolic meaning of AI manufactured reality in his recent work. However, he is deliberately creating his work without the use of AI generative tools. Instead, he uses a manual process of assemblage, collation, composition and interpretation in both digital and analog construction spaces.
