Q&A with Kai Lintumaa – Steven Psyllos
Steven Psyllos: Please describe the process of your art-making. Do you have a certain image in mind or is the process more organic? Kai Lintumaa: My process varies a lot, there are times when I know exactly what I am trying to create, be it a composite or a single shot, while at other times […]
In-Between Moments – Brian Bishop
The principle interest of my studio practice is the exploration of the fine line between the forgotten or overlooked moment and the fetishized memory as simultaneously seen through the filters of portraiture in the West, snapshot photography and the contemporary cultural phenomenon of constant surveillance. Inevitably, it also addresses memory, as it is known through […]

From his background, he brings the concept of […]

In Rubert’s works, we find “joi de vivre,” but also cannibalism, fear and an irony that impregnates all. He permits the spectator to view the outline of a smile as his male character overcomes his apprehension of those women who go beyond the stereotyped femme fatal. His paintings gather up all the fears that masculinity […]
The Cool and Unusual: Art Tripping In Europe – Edward Rubin
When it comes to contemporary art, the European city most likely to break all barriers and offend all senses (which, in turn, gives birth to the next trend) is…the city of London. Only in London will an artist—in this case Martin Creed, who won the coveted Turner Prize in 1991—be awarded a prize for exhibiting […]
