Matthieu Bourel’s Duplicity is a facial manipulation series that turns recognition into something strange and absorbing. Using duplicated elements from the same or related photographs, Bourel morphs old Hollywood starlets and actors into portraits that feel elegant at first glance, then quietly disturbing the longer you look.

Ecotone 2014 by artist Jacob van Loon
Jacob van Loon’s Ecotone is a mixed media portrait that feels raw, deliberate, and quietly confrontational.

Banksy Piece Removed for being “Offensive and Racist”
No shit. Banksy’s artworks are known for their satire imagery on heavy issues and ones that get swept under the rug. Residence from the oceanside town of Clacton-on-See in Essex were flipping when the graffiti imagery appeared on Tendring Disctric Council’s boathouse. The image presented was one of birds on a wire.

Disney Princesses Reimagined as … Piles of Rocks!
At this point, Disney princess reinterpretations feel endless. They have been reimagined as modern women, punk girls, goth icons, career-driven adults, toddlers, bodybuilders, and probably your coworker who brings tuna to the office.

Guardians by Andy Freeburg
There is something quietly powerful about Andy Freeburg’s Guardians. At first glance, the series feels understated. Almost static. Women sit or stand in Russian art museums, positioned beside famous paintings and sculptures. They are not models. They are not performers. They are guards.
