Dimensional Constructs – Whitney May
Blurring or distorting the boundary between the traditional frameworks of painting and sculpture is hardly a creative approach without precedent in the art world since the early 20th century. Yet, beginning in 1979, Serbian artist Miroslav Pavlovic’s neo-constructivist essays on the topic have effectively confronted viewers time and again with the issue of dimensionality within […]
Esther Varella – Eduarda de Souza
“It is all a little bit conscious and a little bit unconscious,” explains photographer Esther Varella, 27, about the juxtaposition between love and sickness, which synthesizes her work. This young Brazilian prodigy now resides in São Paulo, Brazil, after having lived nine years between New York and Los Angeles. She has been photographing since she […]
Francesco Dââ¬â¢ Isa
Since he was born in September 1980 (Firenze – Italy), Francesco D’ Isa loves synthesis and hates biography. He studied philosophy at the University of Firenze. He’s self-taught as an artist, his fascination with visual imagery has propelled him into mastering the required skills. Fashion imagery as long as contemporary and historical art tradition are […]
Circles, Squares, Objects? – John Zotos
Where most artists navigate a mature career by uncomfortably modifying what’s best about their work in order to stay current or hip, few maintain the nuance, authority and creative curiosity that makes a difference. As an example of the latter, this conclusion is what one comes away with after seeing Otis Jones’ latest work at […]

From Game World to the Real World – Janna Schoenberger
A concept, script, design and soundtrack: these could be the building blocks used to compose numerous artistic productions like a film or an animation, maybe even a theatre production. Coincidentally, these aspects are also taken into consideration when creating a video game. Gradually, video game art has begun to pop up in galleries and to […]
Ilona Miko at the Seed Design Studio – James Scarborough
A children’s song about an inchworm that’s so busy measuring the marigolds that she doesn’t stop to see how beautiful they are. Not the case with Ilona Miko’s brain cell photographs on display at The Seed Design Studio in Santa Ana. The product of the research of a developmental neuroscientist—Research Fellow, Doctorate, neuroscience—these photographs bristle […]

The “Dada” exhibition opened in June at the Museum of Modern Art in New York with more than 400 objects in every medium existing at the beginning of the 20th Century. It was truly an international, cultural movement with artists organizing demonstrations, performances and publishing art and literary journals. The Dadaists’ revolt against the traditional […]
Portals of Life – Natalie Uhlmann
Six years ago I started this project. Beforehand I had been thinking a lot about taboos, about fears and I enquired into the difference between eroticisim and pornography and the fine line in between. I was also continuously questioning myself in relation to my motivation. I knew more or less what a vulva looked like, […]
