I messed up so much with this. Couldn’t pick good colors for this one and kept re-coloring everything… It looked so bad I had to do it in greyscale to save it. And then I somehow merged all layers before saving and closing and had to work with it like that.
Gave that poor guy an actual ref because I liked him enough.

Yes, it’s wrapped in the wrong direction. I know what it means, that’s intentional.
Featuring 13 large-scale, media-based installations, “LUX: New Wave of Contemporary Art” is an immersive London exhibition that brings together 12 of the world’s most celebrated new media artists and collectives working with the latest audio-visual technologies. Organised by SUUM Project in collaboration with Fact, the exhibition unfolds at @180.studios, a Brutalist edifice in central London which has been transformed into a multipurpose venue and home to several creative brands. The installations, several of which are new commissions, blur the lines between the physical and virtual worlds and expanding the boundaries of interactive and immersive art. . . Featured: (1) Universal Everything @universaleverything, Transfiguration, 2020. 4k digital film with stereo sound depicting a giant walking figure who undergoes a metamorphic change from water to fire, to lava, before cooling to solidify into rock. Held in the collection of Sifang Art Museum, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China. (2) Carsten Nicolai, Unicolor, 2014. The work unfolds against a long projection wall with two mirror walls on the side, thus visually expanding into infinity. (3) Es Devlin @esdevlin, BLUESKYWHITE, 2021. A site-specific installation co-commissioned by 180 Studios and LG that takes the form of a 24-meter light tunnel that modulates from portrait to landscape exploring our emotional response to the possible extinction of blue sky. . . The exhibition runs until December 18, 2021. Details: https://www.yatzer.com/lux-new-wave-contemporary-art
Underpinned by abstract forms and muted, earthy tones, the minimalist-inflected work of Nashville-based artist Rebekka Seale @finea_studio is imbued with a soothing sensibility that unwittingly captivates you. From paper collages and oil paintings, to ceramics and hand-dyed tapestries, the simplicity of Seale artworks belie a tactile beauty and inner harmony. . . Image @finea_studio
Titled “Like in paradise”, the 8th edition of HÖHENRAUSCH in #Linz, Austria, brings together over 40 international artists at OÖ Kulturquartie @ooe.art in an attempt to comprehend the concept of paradise as a guiding vision of our life in the here and now. Curators Martin Sturm and Rainer Zendron explore what we mean when we fantasize about earthly paradises. Is it simply a state of mind? Is it something that can be bought? For some it means a dream holiday in the Caribbean, for others a visit to a strip club or sitting in one’s backyard, or, in times like these, simply a return to normality. This subjective nature of our idea of paradise is evocatively reflected in the diverse artworks on display: some artists imagine paradise to be colourful and garish, others black and white; some are playful, astute and humorous, others sarcastic and sad; some are hyper-realistic, others abstract. Despite their differences however, they are all sensuous, insightful, visionary and poetic. . . Featured: Cyril Lancelin @town.and.concrete, Flamingo one arch, 2019.

Classical sculpture looms large in the Western canon so it’s not uncommon for contemporary artists to incorporate the cultural legacy of ancient Greco-Roman statues into their own work. One of such artists is Barcelona-based artist @sergioroger who stands out thanks to the medium he uses: 100-year-old antique linen. Painstakingly stitched and draped to create the appearance of stone, Roger’s textile sculptures astound in their uncanny beauty and subverting whimsy. Treading a fine line between homage and irony, the artist is interested in exploring ancient artistic representations of beauty as much as revealing our misconception about them.

Named after a village on the Cycladic Island of Tinos, “Volax” at @carwangallery in Athens presents the latest work of @objects_of_common_interest, a series of life-size lighting and seating pieces inspired by the large granite boulders that dot the village’s wind-swept landscape. The collection marks the studio’s first ever use of wood, featuring a series of low chairs, benches and side tables whose abstract, geometric forms and monolithic design defy categorization. Monumental yet playful, primitive yet sophisticated, the pieces comprise a sui generis sculptural garden amid the gallery’s crumbling industrial setting, creating “moments of unfamiliar simplicity”.
