Very nice and simple acrylic paintings, based on her own image, by American painter Erin Cone. ‘I emphasize visual impact over narrative context, focusing on the subtle orchestration of my subject within a framework of design. I create a deliberate push-and-pull between near-photorealistic detail and my own vocabulary of visual glitches that challenge that very[...]

Lovely series of photos by Belgian photographer Heidi Voet, for which she combined images of naked women taken from Chinese magazines with ehhh vegetables. The fresh vegetables visually complete the young bodies, highlighting consumption and each other’s limited preservability. Very nice, just like her other works. _ _ _ Tweet

The works capture the lovers’ strange and tight plastic bond, in which they are so entwined together they seem to transform into one single being. Awkward but ever so typical Japanese. The works are available as[...]
