“These are the central concepts of my artistic essence. The transformation of motives therefore is a clearing of reality through optical reduction and refraction of contents. In this way it allows each observer an exempt view on the essential marrow. In this connection my process follows strictly the etymological translation of the word kaleidoscope, which has its roots in the greek language and means ‘to see beautiful forms’.” -Boris Draschoff, Berlin, Germany borisdraschoff.com

Artist Camila Valdez, Sweet Tooth and Legs.
Contrary to popular belief, these are NOT self portraits of me. Yes I breath sweets like no other but I promise I’m not actually made of doughnut bread. This is a series by artist Camila Valdez located in Argentina. It’s surreal, sassy and delicious. Each little food being is paired with legs and an attitude to match. I wonder what that little doughnut did to end up in prison. Is this trying to say we are what we eat? or just a fun approach to her personal anthropomorphic sandbox. source:

Jeff Bark – Woodpecker (Present Day Romanticism)
“Woodpecker stretches the definition of romanticism to reference both the emotive paintings of centuries past, and the modern struggle with post-industrial malaise. Situated in a teenage wasteland that hovers between nature and urban decay, Bark’s listless figures partake in skinny-dipping, huffing, and smoking marijuana.” Artist’s statement: “I’ve always been very sensitive to light, even in my house… It’s all about how the light makes you feel. In my studio the light is very sexy, calming – it’s warm from all the tungsten lights, and very comforting. In the brightness you can’t see around you, so you feel alone, except for me yelling at you saying ‘Move your finger!’ More than trying…

A satellite resting lifeless in a crater, recalling a modern day Icarus whose faith in…
