Brendan Danielsson: My work isn’t conceptual, personal, spiritual or political. And there’s no secret underlying message or point I’m trying to get across. I’m not trying to say much with it….at all. I simply create art that I would like to see if I were not the one making it. The process, as I develop a piece, is little more than a stream of consciousness without much forethought to what the end result will be. But I do try to incorporate a few elements of conflict to create a narrative for interest. These usually deal with man vs. beast, beauty vs. ugly, sensuality vs. violence, etc. Believe it or not, I don’t enjoy much of the actual process of creating art. It’s a contant struggle for me and I’m my harshest critic, but the end result is what keeps me going. When I create something that I actually like, I’m a happy man. (via)

Evening Stories by Barbarja

Evening Stories  is a project incorporating words and drawings
about finding one’s self inside oneself.

“I grab the most forward point of the body with my teeth. I hook the edge of sensation with a tooth and tear the delicate covering. Lava flows out of it, rushing silently bringing doom to a happily drowsy unknown town. With a cold finger I touch a ball of nerves and bend in half, simultaneously looking at plowed fields of supplications and entreaties. I sigh deeply.  Donned in human skin I lick the evidence of life off It with my tongue. The human skin puts the mind into a trance and paves the way to so far unavailable walls and floors: feet, hands, bellies, buttocks and counts the hairs around the bellybuttons. I stick a finger into my nose to keep the red paint inside. My finger reeks with life. It is cold. ”

Malice in Wonderland is the work of experimental animator Vince Collins, 1983. (via)

The visual style of Travis Louie’s work is strongly influenced by the lighting and atmosphere of German Expressionist and Film Noir motion pictures from the Silent Era to the late 1950’s. Travis’ paintings come from the tiny little drawings and many writings in his journals. Using inventive techniques of painting with acrylic washes and simple textures on smooth boards, he’s created portraits from an alternate universe that seemingly may or may not have existed.

Travis Louie is currently exhibiting new works at the Shooting Gallery.

Hibiki Miyazaki’s influences include old movies and printed illustrations from the thirties, forties and fifties, which have a dreamlike and slightly naive quality to the characters. To produce her prints she uses sandblasted copper plates, line etching, spit bite, and xerox transfer.

Sometimes this whole process seems ridiculously arduous and arcane but that’s what I love about it too…..

The grotesque and the distorted provide the subject-matter of Jonas Burgert’s art. The atmosphere in his paintings is of a world of destruction and decay. Each painting is a carefully constructed stage, containing an artificial world set up with dramatic lighting, exotic costumes, stage props and sweeping staircases. As if set in the theatre or opera, fantastical make-up and costumes evoke humans and animals, shamans and magicians, giants and dwarfs, demons and harlequins, creatures dead and alive.
Rules and actions of this world and their inhabitants mostly remain mysterious and inexplicable to the viewer. However, whether Burgert’s actors are on their own or cramped together with countless other beings –in a kind of contemporary history painting –they have one thing in common: the loneliness of the individual.

The artist is currently showing at Haunch of Venison London

Camilla Engman grew up in a small Swedish town named Trollhättan. This is where she began looking at life from a perspective that most of us see only momentarily. Often through animals or people, Camilla’s pictures inspire their audience with a wide range of feelings. Her work has a knack of allowing you to grasp a notion without robbing you of your personal interpretation, regardless of whether it’s an acrylic painting, paper-on-paper or mixed media.

Ernest Concepcion and Mike Estabrook battle each other in time through drawings, known as Kangaroks.Ernest and Mike create a 135 foot long chalk drawing on the walls of the 52nd floor of 7 World Trade Center. It took 4 days to draw.

Fernando Gutierrez, aka Huanchaco, develops the story of Superchaco, a decadent Peruvian superhero trying to get to grips with the Chaotic City, Lima. Influenced by comics and pop culture, Huanchaco embodies the worst aspects of the Chaotic City. Devoid of any qualm, he is lazy, obnoxious and vulgar. Superchaco doesn’t have any particular talent nor superpower. Yet, authorities call him, children look up to him and women fall for him. (via sweet station)
