Lawrence Elentukh

 Lawrence Elentukh is a Medford-based artist, best known for his textured oil and mixed media paintings. His work can be found in local exhibits around Boston and on Instagram @levisions_gallery. As a self-taught painter and university-taught engineer, he understands the importance of creative expression for humanity’s liberty (as well as life and pursuit of happiness), and has a first-hand view of the evolution/revolution of AI. With his latest art piece, Rend[er] evokes the dichotomy of artificial ‘intelligence’ image generation; as it artificially renders content, it acts to rend human creativity and suppress independent thought.
