Almost Human: Charlie Stein
Stein’s practice reflects an ongoing fascination with figures that are neither fully human nor fully artificial - entities suspended in psychological and material ambiguity.The exhibition gathers new paintings that examine humanity’s long-standing desire to animate the inanimate, from mythic metal bodies to today’s algorithmic doubles.
Sofia Sominski announces Almost Human, the first New York solo exhibition by Berlin-based artist Charlie Stein, whose work negotiates the fragile border between embodied presence and technological illusion. Stein approaches this lineage with a distinctly contemporary urgency. Her figures, rendered with a tactile softness that collides with digital luminosity, appear as beings in transition—charged not by narrative, but by the relational electricity between artwork and viewer.
