Caption: "Last Lounge Legacy: The 'Calm Countdown Collective' is all poise and cool at this LA hideaway. 'Afrobeat Alex,' 'Sunshine Stella,' Jill and 'Retro Ray' don't just sit at the edge of the apocalypse—they lounge on it with a classic flair. Between sips of aged spirits, kind smoke, and the soft crackle of vinyl, they exchange smirks and toasts, not to the end, but to the everlasting style they embody, as the world takes its final bow in the background."

"Poolside Party (2023)" is a playful series of AI-assisted artworks by Lee Wells that reincarnates the Naiades from ancient mythology into lavish 21st-century pool parties. The project began while the artist was in residency in South Crete. During this period, he endeavoured to communicate with the local goddesses through meditation, natural medicine, and various AI tools. These tools served as channelling mediums, helping him gain a deeper understanding of the realms they inhabit, as well as our own. The digital artworks serve as a new form of painting, showcasing intriguing and exquisite figures relaxing and revelling poolside at mesmerising garden house parties. Through this collaborative effort between the artist, the spirits, and AI, the overarching message conveyed is that life is fleeting. Thus, the most crucial thing is to enjoy ourselves, have fun, and strive to love as best we can in this wonderful and strange world we call home.
