AI & The WOWOW Gallery
Where Technology Meets the Human Touch
Artificial intelligence has become one of the most exciting (and divisive) tools in the art world. At The WOWOW Gallery, we don’t see AI as a replacement for creativity, but as a way to expand it. Whether through our gallery innovations or the practices of our artists, AI plays a role in shaping the work we show - always with the guiding hand of human imagination.
AI in the WOWOW Workflow
Our gallery is defined by experimentation and innovation, especially through our signature medium: lenticular printing. This process - transforming artwork into 3D holographic or motion images - is powered by cutting-edge technology.
Within WOWOW Studio, our experimental arm, we occasionally use AI as part of the creative process. Sometimes it’s about generating a base image to explore new ideas; other times, AI helps us reshape classical works in our Masters Re-Discovered series. But no piece leaves our studio untouched: every AI-generated work is hand-altered, refined, and carefully adapted to the lenticular format.
In this way, AI is less about replacing the artist and more about expanding the toolkit of expression.
Our Artists: Diverse Approaches to AI
At The WOWOW Gallery, our artists each have their own relationship with AI, ranging from purely technical mastery to playful hybrid methods:
Richard Cousell – A CGI expert, Richard works almost entirely by hand, meticulously crafting details in his digital compositions. His work demonstrates how technology can be wielded with precision, but always guided by a human eye.
Darien Davis – An AI specialist who has worked with generative tools for years, Darien pushes the boundaries of what these systems can achieve. His work is less about what AI “spits out” and more about how he can shape, refine, and stretch it into something unique.
Lula B – A hybrid practitioner, Lula uses AI to generate starting concepts, then applies hand alteration to bring depth, detail, and personality. Her approach perfectly embodies the “best of both worlds.”
Together, these artists show the spectrum of AI in art - from fully hand-rendered digital work to AI-augmented creativity.
AI and the Future of Art: Human vs. Machine?
The big question everyone asks: Will AI replace artists?
Our answer: absolutely not.
AI is powerful, surprising, and sometimes astonishing - but it is not perfect. It cannot quite capture the nuances of personal vision, nor does it understand the emotional weight behind a piece of art. What makes great art meaningful is not just its form, but its intention - and that intention will always come from human beings.
At The WOWOW Gallery, we believe the future isn’t AI vs. Human, but AI + Human. The hybrid approach allows technology to handle scale, speed, and unpredictability, while artists refine, curate, and inject meaning. That’s where the magic happens.
Our Philosophy
We love all forms of creation, whether entirely hand-crafted, AI-augmented, or digitally rendered. But for us, the sweet spot lies in collaboration with the machine, not competition against it. The result is art that feels innovative, accessible, and full of WOWOW.
Because at the end of the day, it isn’t about AI taking over. It’s about finding new ways to make art more alive, more dynamic, and more human.
