Diena Georgetti, ‘Archive Standard / neoplatonic’, 2024. Synthetic polymer paint on canvas, 61.5 x 61 x 2.5 cm.

TALISMANIC, the inaugural solo exhibition by Diena Georgetti at Neon Parc challenges conventional perceptions of abstraction, offering a fresh perspective that is both innovative and deeply rooted in the artistic traditions Georgetti so skilfully references. Diena Georgetti’s practice has always drawn on hugely diverse source materials, and her encyclopaedic knowledge of art history, design and furniture from different periods and geographies. The current rise of Artificial Intelligence means that the process she was undertaking manually, of searching, collaging and amalgamating, she can now utilise AI to assist in drafting. As a natural extension of her methodology, each image is worked up from a series of prompts or actions which the artist feeds into the machine – deeply specific and exacting ideas which draw on her own specialist interests. Instead of utilising the imagery in her personal library of books, Georgetti can now harness the power of the internet and the enormity of its resources, in concert with traditional methods of image making. In this way, Georgetti’s work straddles both modernist traditions and the cutting edge of technology in contemporary art.
