Jon Rafman Types “Ebrah K’dabri” into AI Image Generator, Renders Scenes Both Mundane and Horrific

“Ebrah K’dabri,” a solo show by Canadian artist Jon Rafman, opens at Sprüth Magers London. Diving headlong into prompt-generated AI imagery, Rafman renders scenes both mundane and horrific. Featured are large format inkjet prints of furry creatures, demon clubbers, and fleshy wrestlers, and the video piece Counterfeit Poast (2023, image), which animates similarly weird figures, abstracting tensions between online and private identities, and how they “constitute and distort” one another.
