Cases by Sandra Chevrier

Canadian artist Sandra Chevrier presents the art series "Cases". As she stated on the personal website "The series "cages" is about women trying to find freedom from the cages of society's twisted preconceptions of what a woman should or shouldn't be. These women encased in these cages of brash imposing paint that masks their very personhood symbolises the struggle that women go through with having these cages of this expectation of false beauty and perfection on them and of the limitations society places on them, corrupting what truly makes women beautiful by putting them in these prisons of identity."

ME.WE Green Car

ME.WE is the car, designed by French architect and designer Jean-Marie Massaud in collaboration with Toyota, is billed as an "anti-excess" vehicle. It’s completely electric, with a lightweight tubular aluminum frame and 100% recyclable polypropylene panels, each of which only weigh 14 kilograms. The target weight for the entire ride is 750 kilograms, around 20% less than a traditional car of the same size. The ME.WE is designed to be built with as little environmental impact as possible.

Jarek Puczel

"Polish painter Jarek Puczel‘s works are arrestingly simple, yet compelling takes on the everyday. Sketching out fragments, and in-between moments pulled from everyday experiences, these pieces possess an air of the cinematic—key lighting, dramatic angles, arrested motion—all elements that tie into his overall concept of the world being one giant set for quiet, dramatic moments of ennui."

Watercolours by Rob Sato

"Rob Sato’s watercolor paintings are whimsical clashes of documented history and personal dreaming: a magpie pictorial narrative of his own internal processing system or as he says, an “extension of writing” and “sifting through garbage. Getting a lot of trash out of my head.” His ability to condense worlds, communities, and landscapes into one surreal solid depiction, interestingly enough, conceptually harkens back to Vincent VanGogh’s statement on the watercolor medium itself as “a splendid thing” to “express atmosphere and distance, so that the figure is surrounded by air and can breathe in it.” " via Beautiful Decay
