Bold compositions and mixed media techniques blend together creating strong, energetic visuals that somehow balance between popular icons and absurdity. Figures and character design is very important in Anthony Lister’s artwork. The artist currently lives and works in New York.
Kukula is one of my top fav artists. Born in an isolated village north of Tel Aviv, her artwork is both influenced by classical art forms and contemporary pop culture. Dreamy feminine, mostly doll-like characters are depicted in surrealistic backgrounds and surrounded by symbolic objects. The paintings (oil on board) shown here are from her “Immortal Artifacts” series.
Kukula notes “Many people say that my characters resemble dolls. For me dolls represent immortal youth. But they are also the remains of something that has passed, and when they are antiques, of someone who has died. The first antique doll I bought was one produced by the German-Jewish firm Kammer & Reinhardt at the beginning of the twentieth century. While this delicate bisque doll survived two world wars, both the manufacturer and the original owner are gone forever. So the very immortality of any artifact is always reminiscent of the death of something intimately connected to it. As I began making sketches for this exhibition I realized that precisely because art is immortal it is also morbid. Art survives—it carries within traces of its dead producer. So it represents not only the eternal, but also the ephemeral. Art becomes artifact. Being the crumby narcissist that I am, I have noticed that I produce art in order to leave my own artifacts—in other words, my own death mask. And so the whole process of painting becomes rather macabre, like writing your own requiem.” “How far is too far” is the title of Eva Mitala’s second solo exhibition in Greece. With a fabulous series of acrylic paintings the artist seeks to depict the urban side and highlight the magic-realistic moments of daily life in Tokyo. By adding and/or subtracting stylized forms, she captures
the essence of the city which bursts with visual noise and highlights the pure energy and emotion that hides within. Born in L.A. in 1979, Joshua Petker started meddling with art through graffiti, which steadily led him to fine arts. Acrylic paintings with bright juxtaposing colors portraying womens dark souls.
As he mentions “Well, besides the obvious of finding women beautiful I basically started painting girls when I attempted painting because I wasn't really looking to anyone but Klimt for guidance. Since then, I've sort of built my visual language through the expressions of women.” Japanese artist Yumiko Kayukawa combines western pop art imagery with traditional manga-style illustrations. Her colorful creations are obviously influenced by nature and folklore references. |
