Art of Jana Brike

April 08, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Latvia, Portfolios, 2016

Instead of giving a personal reflection on Jana's art I'd like to feature her thoughts on the body of art she creates: "The first most reassuring thing is when I see an art piece has worked as a trigger to evoke certain experiences, memories, feelings within a person, of something important they had forgotten or set side in the anxiety and worry of life. Like, the awkwardness and delightfulness of a first kiss, or being in love, or true touch, or even the rawness of sincere pain and so on. Sometimes people would tell me the work has evoked something so very familiar, but they can’t quite put a finger on what it even is. And it is so wonderful to hear, because I know the communication through art is not verbal, and it is not from the position of mental constructions and concepts, but somehow heart to heart and human experience to human experience. It really truly motivates me most of all". Please view Jana Brike's art on Instagram, website and Facebook and read her recent interview here

Surreal Sculpture of Dan Lam

April 08, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Sculpture, USA, 2016

"At first glance, the sculptures of Dan Lam (Instagram) might seem like living organisms. Created with intense hues, the pieces seem to drip right before the viewers’ eyes with an undeniable energy.Lam uses polyurethane foam, acrylic paint and epoxy resin to create her intricate pieces. She starts with a shape and lets the foam takes its own course, guiding it ever so slightly. Afterwards, she chooses a colour and dots the surfaces of each piece with paint to create even more visual rhythm." via TCP

Jesse Draxler

March 23, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Instagram, Portfolios, USA, 2016

"The obscured overlays and expressive marks that embody Draxler’s work are relatable reflections of repressed subconscious. In constructing, deconstructing and reworking photographs and images, Draxler reveals struggles and surrenders, his work living and breathing with dark hints of existential sexuality. Abstracting and subtracting the human form, Draxler simultaneously masks and uncovers both form and emotion, body and feeling. His practice resonates with familiar deep-set feelings, and like many working artists, Draxler pulls from his own mental state. His ability to harness and reveal vulnerability, tension, anxiety and heaviness is unbounded as he confronts both what we repress and what we reveal." jessedraxler.com, Instagram, via The Creators Project

Figurative sculpture by Johnson Tsang

March 16, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, China, Hong-Kong, Portfolios, Sculpture, 2016

"Tsang’s work integrates the themes of human beings vs. objects. Sometimes he anthropomorphizes these objects, giving them human attributes— like in the example of the coffee cups. In other cases, the figures he develops are decidedly human, but distinct nonetheless. He is particularly adept at sculpting expressive, childlike faces— sometimes cheerful, at other times ominous, especially when used in depictions of child soldiers or with other socio-political themes. On the one hand, he can make lovers out of coffee. On the other, he can turn transform a grenade into a pile of human organs. Johnson Tsang’s work has many faces— usually turned out to the world in an unexpectedly jarring way." via Decompoz
