Von Wolfe's works are developed in collaboration with artificial intelligence, but not as mere tools of image generation. Instead, the artist treats the AI as an errant interlocutor - producing a flood of visual propositions, outliers, and uncanny hybrids. From this visual delirium, he isolates moments of particular psychic intensity, reworking them by hand in oil with classical precision. What results is a new kind of mythic realism - one that emerges from the machine’s subconscious and the artist’s instinctual logic.
