Reine Paradis
Reine Paradis constructs narrative photographs staging herself as the central figure in a surreal landscape. Paradis is dressed in orange in her images and is shown interacting in colour filled landscapes and as may thought mainly using IKB (International Klein Blue)
Shot in many locations throughout America, the photo series "Jungle" takes us on an introspective journey across a symbolic and chromatic world, projected above the limit of reality and imagination.
ll the scenes are imagined and conceptualised before shooting in real locations. Once the scene is visualised in it’s entirety, Paradis makes sketches and paints the scene to use as a blue print when photographing the final scene. All the costumes, accessories and origamis are meticulously designed and prepared according to the initial vision of the scene.
Landscapes by James Gilleard
Talented animator and illustrator James Gilleard creates landscapes that definitely can be a sandbox for modern Lonely Toons characters. They only thing I'd add at the end of each perfectly done set is "That's all folks!" phrase

Reality 2.0 by Dmitry Aske
Dmitri Aske had his first solo show in September — October, 2016 in Vladey Space Gallery, Moscow, Russia. The exhibition called Reality 2.0 included eight new artworks made in the artist's unique technique of a multilayer plywood relief especially for the show. All the works are dedicated to the digital era we are living in, now that the Internet takes up more and more of our time and attention becoming for many people the second reality. The addiction some people have might be even compared to a mother-child relationship. At the same time, as Marshall McLuhan wrote as far back as 1960s, people don't actually notice how new media entering our lives are gradually changing us.
A person born before the 1990s sees video calls, a 'computer-in-your-pocket' phone, and a broadband Internet connection available almost everywhere as materialisation of the future. Meanwhile, the new generation takes all that for granted as a beginning of a new era. In his new body of work, Dmitri Aske reflects our time suggesting that the viewers should contemplate how much all of us are absorbed by Reality 2.0.
"Fixed It" Portraits series by Henrietta Harris
Talented artist we discovered few years ago Henrietta Harris has created lots of new artworks since than. Her paintings often involved portraiture with a departure into the surreal with faces skilfully obscured and misplaced by the clean sweep of a brushstroke.

AKANE by Louise Mertens
Our friend and resident of Digital Decade Antwerp-based artist Louise Mertens released large-scaled print series titled AKANE
“A new series I’ve been working on during the past few months. Inspired by time, colors, shapes, textures and many impressions I’ve saved during the process of creating. Akane means ‘Deep Red’, the subtle yet strongest color used in the series. All visuals are directed and developed from beginning till end by me and my amazing team. It’s the first time I’ve been working on such large scale”

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."

"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.”
