George SegalSegal often said that his goal was to capture the paradox of individual solitude in the midst of populous places. These figures are placed in an actual environment of a mundane situation, such as a lunch counter, movie ticket booth, bus interior, or, as in this case, a park bench

These images are part of

a series of photos

created for an

advertisement for

medication to help people

suffering from

Alzheimers.

Alzheimers is a condition

where recent memories

are stripped away leaving

the sufferer left with

memories of their youth.

So the mirror is used as a

way of showing how the

person sees themselves,

in contrast to how they

appear to those around

them.

Paula Scher China 2006 acrylic

“I began painting maps to invent my own complicated narrative about the way

I see and feel about the world. I wanted to list what I know about the world

from memory, from impressions, from media, and from general information

overload. These are paintings of distortions.” ~ Paula Scher

Edward Burra

An odd tension exists

between the barman, the

customer and the slicing

of the ham in Burra’s

painting. The woman eats

distractedly, while the

man cuts with enjoyment

and a sideways glance at

her. Violence and sexual

tension seem to be at

play. Burra was an acute

observer of the everyday,

often exaggerating it into

caricature in order to

comment on society

The Natural World

The shapes of Rorschach tests are intentionally flawed and ambiguous — allowing us to draw conclusions about a person’s psyche based on what organic matter they claim to see growing in the inkblots. In her series, Mirrors, photographer Traci Griffin flips that concept. By applying symmetry to natural subjects, they are rendered unnatural and too perfect for this world.

wrapped a tree in plastic

sheeting and then

mimicked the background

landscape using detailed

spray paint strokes to

create the illusion of a tree

cut in half.

Layered photo drawings

Photographer Christoffer Relander created a series of

photographs titled “We Are Nature” using double and triple

exposures. Using 2 sheets of acetate, layer a photo of yourself

with images from nature. Make a detailed tonal drawing of the

double image. Alternatively create this layered effect on

photoshop!

Artist Robert Wechsler (previously) was recently comissioned

by the The New Yorker to create a series of coin sculptures for

their October 14th money-themed edition. Wechsler used a

jeweler’s saw to cut precise notches in coins from various

currencies and then joined them together in several geometric

forms

Teodosijev, a photographer, has used still life photography and the contents

of storage drawers to try and record something of his father. He says "Can

you capture the soul of a beloved one"

Although this image by Bela Borsodi (nsfw) appears to be four

separate images, it’s actually a single photograph, with all of the

objects perfectly aligned to create an optical illusion. The shot was

used as cover art for an album titled Terrain by VLP. See it all

come together in the video above…

In Things Come Apart, McLellan exposes the inner working of 50 objects

and 21,959 individual components as he reflects on the permanence of

vintage machines built several decades ago—sturdy gadgets meant to

be broken and repaired—versus today’s manufacturing trend of limited

use followed by quick obsolescence.

Bruce Gray Assemblage

Zac Freeman started

creating assemblage

artworks of this type in

1999. All artworks are

made entirely out of

collected junk, found

objects, and general

trash. By glueing the

bits of junk to a

wooden substrate, Zac

is able to form an

image, usually faces,

which only can be

seen at a distance

Imagination

Bridget Riley Achaean As in her stripe paintings of 1967-73, Riley's use of the stripe

format represents a desire to use 'unassertive forms' which allow the colours to

establish the painting's structure.

Vasco Mourao

Vasco Mourao is an architect and illustrator originally from Portugal

who now lives and works in Barcelona. His densely illustrated cities

and structures are drawn entirely by hand and while all are of course

fictional places, they often incorporate real buildings. For instance, in

the most dense piece above entitled New Yorker one can find the

Chrysler building, the Met, the Whitney, and the Guggenheim among

others

Celebrated South African artist Jane

Alexander first shot to international fame in

the mid-1980s with “Butcher Boys,” a

provocative installation exploring issues

mouthless, muscular animal-human hybrid

sculptures.

Katie GrinnanSimilar to a camera capturing multiple

exposures in a single image, artist Katie

Grinnan created this sculptural time-lapse

of her body moving through a daily yoga

routine using sand, plastic, and enamel.

The end result is representative of both

time and form as each split second is

layered onto the last creating what is both

a singular figure and many

The latest work from

Illinois-born artist and

dancer Tony Orrico.

Tony has

worked/performed

continuously for

upward of four hours

on his drawings that

resemble enormous,

manically scribbled

spirographs

“I stand facing the wall in a stationary stance, using my arm span,

bilateral movement, and alternating variables to inscribe three large

circles. In circle one (day one), my right hand spontaneously navigates

as my left hand instantly copies and reverses the patterning. In circle

two (day two), I repeat this practice with the left hand leading. For the

center circle (day three), both hands direct simultaneously, striving for

perfect unison.”

Tony Orrico
