The Guardian
The Guardian is a free interpretation of the parable "Before the Law" from Kafka's book "The Trial". A peasant after traveling the world arrives in front of a gate, controlled by a fearsome Guardian. The peasant tries to pass through but the Guardian denies him entrance. Peasant and Guardian are the same character, the peasant, like each one of us, in front of his own fear; the guardian, something shapeless, that surround and control him. The Door/Gate the possibilities we encounter during our life.

AVIVA by Heikki Leis
Artist from Tartu, Estonia, Heikki Leis shares his statement for AVIVA drawings series
You can enter at any given point and go whichever way you please. The circle has no
beginning and no end, no direction either. Too much freedom causes confusion, so people
have come up with their own notion of time that goes “clockwise”, following the hands of
time, on a growing scale. Increasing numbers, mounting years. Tic toc.
Death is transformation, like birth. Big events set the clock to zero again. Have you ever felt you’ve experienced a moment before? Relax, it’s because you have. In fact. Before. Or was it after.
In order to learn something, our previous self has to painfully shed the skin of previous
failed experiences to give our future self some advice for the road. No need to reject or
deny the feeling that sometimes you just know. In advance. For certain. Stuff that hasn’t
happened yet. Your inner feeling is correct. It’s possible to go there as well.
AVIVA is a circle of life in all its forms. Aviva as a palindrome; a word that moves both ways. A viva, as “up from the dead” in Latin; up from the dead, towards life, in the opposite
direction. Despite its static nature, the circle of “Aviva” is not a still life, nature morte, dead nature. The seemingly silent pictures aspire towards life, to light. A moment freezes and time will become nothing but an arbitrary construction, shackles we don’t need any longer.
You can enter at any given point and go whichever way you please

Digital Antique by Kontorn Boonyanate

After it is created and approved by art mediums, it gains appreciation and reactivates the new meanings during the life. Here is 5 years old project from Bangkok, Thailand, CG artist Kontorn Boonyanate that reflects on antique beauty canons using modern digital interpretations.
Second Layer by Kim Byungkwan
“Classic icon must be distorted when they’ve got through all the journey of time and culture. What I can do is that just assume the PAST filtered through these thick and blur lenses. So, What I paint would not be the icon itself but the surface of lens of time, which might be just stretched, or by which the image could be deformed or vaguer.”

Elisabetta Benassi
Italian artist Elisabetta Benassi’s solo show, ‘The Sovereign Individual’ at Galerie Jousse Entreprise (@galeriejousseentreprise) in Paris (last year) presented a selection of the artist’s recent works, including two installations specially devised for the gallery space.
Elisabetta Benassi (Rome, 1966) is an Italian artist. In her work she critically observes the cultural, political and artistic legacy of modernity, as well as broader, often controversial political and cultural themes of our time. Using diverse media – installation, photography, video – she thus emotionally engages and questions the viewer while tracing troubled and contested timelines. From the background of her pieces emerges a questioning of contemporary identity and of the conditions of the present. Her work has been shown at several venues worldwide, including the Venice Biennale.

Helena Hauss
Revising the work of talented ballpoint-pen artist Helena Hauss
“We live in a society ruled by social conventions and labels with pre-established set of traits that would be construed as weak, weird, bad, or unacceptable. My work aims to use self-deprecation and satire as a way to own up to those labels rather that shy away from them, and thus, put on display the very thing that others would scorn at. By using satire as a weapon against one’s inner demons, but also by rejecting a pre-established set of codes of social conventions to break down a systemic derogatory social hierarchy. It’s about owning up to one’s own short-comings and imposed labels, and refusing to apologise for them by revelling in them as part of one’s own identity. ”
