Karen David est une artiste pakistanaise qui vit à Lyon depuis 6 ans. À travers le médium du graphite, elle travaille sur le morcellement du corps humain que provoque la consommation d'images de désir, telles qu'elles nous sont exposées dans les réseaux sociaux et la pornographie. Cette dernière offre l'exemple le plus frappant de notre besoin de gratification continue. Pour Karen, la pornographie est devenue l'un des plus puissants vecteurs de la relation homme-technologie, en étant, dans l'ombre, le moteur de bien des progrès en intelligence artificielle, en technologie 3D et en streaming en direct, qui répondent à l'exigence d'une authenticité toujours plus pointue pour nos fantasmes sexuels.

Good morning This is an original work, where nothing is hidden from us. Very interesting ! The Robots...a theme that I started to treat, 3 years ago...in an oil on canvas, expressed in the form of a "pop-art/futurist cubist mixture, through a synthesis between mythology and cyberscience.... I had several paintings, in preparation...unfortunately the covid passed by, and I stopped everything. Your drawing is straightforward, everything is shown, without inhibitions.... Withered flesh, adipose fat forms..... The woman's cleft, exposed without hesitation, like an open wound, recalling the other wounds of amputated thighs...letting the real...underlying cybernetic structure appear... A kind of relationship between the imperishable and rigid internal structure of the robot...and the perishable and soft human flesh...that you show by a sort of slice of scanner, which a scientist would have carried out, in the manner of a butcher, executing it with an axe, like a butcher! This human/cybernetic machine dialectic...I treated it rather in a relationship....cybernetic/human being (with the relationship to its mythological foundation...) Sorry to have been so long...but....your drawings made me react! !!
