Body Manipulations by Monica Piloni

While reviewing the sculptural works of Monica Piloni first thing to spark in my visual mind was the old digital works of Dmitry Daniloff made for Sony PSP. But let's not concentrate on the things I found similar. The sculptures of Monica is something to think about for the fragile nature of our bodies.

The artwork also carries certain morbidity, mixed with slight cliche from the erotic iconography, including many symbols and a miscellany of styles carried by our subconsciousness. These styles and symbols are what we ultimately give back to the environment either in a concrete existence or abstract essence.

JBAK Street Art

JBAK is a creative partnership between artists James Bullough and Addison Karl. Each artist brings his unique vision and style to their combined body of work. Bullough’s main focus is photo-realism, with attention to ambient and deep space, layers, and geometric forms. He combines contemporary street art techniques and materials with those of realist oil painters, creating pieces of vivid color and masterful detail. Conversely, Addison’s work is produced using a hatch drawing style, which utilizes fine lines and details to create fantastic illustrations of both diminutive and immense images and proportions.

Nakagin Capsule Tower 1972

Photographer Noritaka Minami explores the architectural heritage of Tokio tells us a story of futuristic Nakagin Capsule Tower designed by Kisho Kurokawa in 1972. . As the first capsule apartment in history constructed for everyday use, the Nakagin Capsule Tower is considered the most ambitious attempt in implementing the principles of Metabolism (the movement aimed to formulate flexible designs that facilitate continual growth and renewal of architecture). This prototype for a new lifestyle for the 21st Century ultimately proved to be an exception rather than the rule. Now considered an obsolete model of living, the Nakagin Capsule Tower faces the threat of demolition to make way for a conventional apartment complex on the site. This photographic series below investigates the building as it faces an uncertain fate.

Post-Soviet Pin Up by Kathrin Longhurst

Raised in East German Kathrin lived in many European countries and finally settled down in Australia. Her works reflect the diverse cultural background and strongly influenced by Communist era, but personally I'd call her canvases the pin-up reflection on a non-existent military post-soviet country. "Women of the Revolution" is her ongoing series of pinup portraits mixed with Russian slang words from "Bitch" to "Pretty". Follow up her latest artworks on kathrinlonghurst.com
