Rite of Spring by Brian Ziff

"Brian Ziff presents the Schön Magazine exclusive, "Rite of Spring." In this haunting series, we watch as the new season emerges from the death of the last; nectar flows, hummingbirds suckle and flowers bloom as the cold, hapless body of winter succumbs to the verdant inevitability of spring. Each tableau is first shot and composited by Brian Ziff, and then painstakingly animated by Ethan Chancer, creating a moment forever in limbo as nature's yearning tendrils thread the darkness under the trance of a soft, crisp breeze."

Pink Project by Portia Munson

Recently exhibited at Frieze Art London "Pink Project" of Portia Munson is a bold setup of feminst artists represented by NY Gallery P.P.O.W.

"The highlight of P.P.O.W.’s booth is certainly Portia Munson’s 1994/2016 Pink Project: Table, in which the artist collected hundreds of pink, plastic items—dolls, My Little Ponies, makeup receptacles, hair accessories, and mirrors among them—marketed at young girls and women. The table is not just a feast for the eyes, but also a trip down memory lane and a potent reminder of consumerism’s influence on children." Artsy

““Pink Project,” first exhibited in the New Museum’s Bad Girls exhibition in 1994, consists of thousands of discarded pink objects carefully arranged on a large table. It is a visual overload of products that were created to appeal specifically to women and girls, including hair clips, pacifiers, fake fingernails, combs, dildos, cleaning products, toys, tampon applicators, kitchen gadgets and hundreds of other items, all representing mass seduction and consumption. The “Pink Project” has taken various forms: as sculpture, presented in glass vitrines, as a room-sized mound, a bedroom (exhibited at Mass MOCA in 2010), and a glass coffin.

Each iteration of the work has revealed the marketing of femininity and the infantilization of the female gender while also exploring the culturally loaded color pink and its continued societal projection onto girls and women.”

Portrait of 2124 Porcelain Vessels by Charlie and Blair

Adrian Smith "Charlie", a part of duo "Charlie & Blair" (with Heather Lockhart) created a self-portrait "Untitled" using 2124 porcelain painted vessels 

photo credit: Michelle Smith

“Each vessel was hand thrown over a period of two months. As they came off the wheel I didn’t try and alter/perfect the shape of the vessel. Instead, I wanted to keep each vessel in their current state in order to capture a moment in time. These individual imperfections as a whole aren’t noticeable until the viewer approaches the piece. These subtle imperfections reflect my sense of identity and personal pursuit for perfection. Everyone has flaws and it isn’t until you get to a deeper level in a relationship, or closer to the subject matter that you notice these cracks and flaws. I used a stippling technique on each individual vessel that from up close has a perspective of scattered dots, but from afar the viewer receives a completed image of the artist. This shift in perspective creates alternating views depending on the angle and distance that the artwork is being received. I wanted to keep the facial expression neutral so the viewer can bring their own experiences to the subject matter. By doing this the viewer is interpreting the subject matter from their perspective and in a sense are critiquing the piece based on face value. The repetition of the vessels reflects my pursuit of perfection. By repeating the same vessel, I was guided by feel and sight to ultimately create a uniformed scale piece.”

Babeth Lafon illustrations

"Babeth Lafon is a beauty and lifestyle illustrator from Paris currently based in Berlin. Her work is characterised by pastel colours, layers of transparent washes and brushy textures which she creates for fashion magazines, cosmetics packagings and luxury brands." via

“I was born in Paris from French/Vietnamese parents who fled the war in the ‘70s, and as a teen, I’ve always thought of Saigon as my ‘real’ hometown (both my parents were born there).

Until I went backpacking there for a few weeks as a young woman, and realised that Paris was definitely my one and only hometown. I felt like a stranger in Vietnam, much more so than all the constant racism I grew up with in France could ever make me feel.

Still to this day, I have fantasies of tropical windows, sleepy hot afternoons and colourful details mixing up with my actual teenage years memories and obsessions – a mash-up made of bits and pieces from my real teenage bedroom in Paris and a dreamy Saigon, one I’ll never get to see. Now at last, it exists here, and strangely I feel more complete”
