#vanitas

In the world of contemporary art, where irony and introspection often collide, Ant Hamlyn has carved a space all his own. Known for his playful yet poignant use of polyurethane-coated fabrics and glossy acrylic panels, Hamlyn transforms the familiar into something uncanny - objects both soft and suffocating, tangible yet trapped. His works invite laughter at first glance but quickly turn contemplative, drawing on centuries of artistic tradition while reinterpreting it through the lens of modern excess and digital aesthetics.

Adesman's paintings represent the culmination of over two years' worth of work, drawing on the tradition of Vanitas with a focus on emotional logic and visual tension.
