Nice works by singer Courtney Love who apparently, also paints. The colorful works are made using a mixed technique of watercolour paint and drawing, finished of with snippets of texts.

French artist Charlotte Caron makes very interesting paintings of which I’m especially loving these ones. For the works, a combination of photography and painting, she paints animal heads looking like some sort of masks over the faces of photo-portraits that she takes herself. “Everyone wears a mask in society with friends or at work. That[...]

I create a deliberate push-and-pull between near-photorealistic detail and my own vocabulary of visual glitches that challenge that very[...]

For the project she was given the possibility to capture the works in the Louvre museum Paris where she wanted to try and bring the paintings and sculptures to life.[...]
