Alexis Schofield at Vela Projects

Event information

Alexis Schofield's new solo exhibition 'Our Calves Demand a Wolf' is on show from 25 October to 7 December at Vela Projects.

The artist's work often delves into the disorienting effects of modern visual media. In this new body of work, Schofield takes his artistic investigation a step further, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to co-create his paintings, crafting a unique visual conversation.

Schofield’s practice begins by producing charcoal drawings on raw canvas, then improvising with ink to create texture. He then takes a photo of the unfinished composition and uses it to generate images with AI. The resulting images, collaged and rendered into a suitable composition, form the basis of the painting.

Guests can encounter resulting works that are both mesmerising and unsettling. Through evocative biblical imagery - reflected in this show's title - the exhibition features paintings which interrogate the existential threats posed by humanity's increasing reliance on technology.
