Instead of giving a personal reflection on Jana's art I'd like to feature her thoughts on the body of art she creates: "The first most reassuring thing is when I see an art piece has worked as a trigger to evoke certain experiences, memories, feelings within a person, of something important they had forgotten or set side in the anxiety and worry of life. Like, the awkwardness and delightfulness of a first kiss, or being in love, or true touch, or even the rawness of sincere pain and so on. Sometimes people would tell me the work has evoked something so very familiar, but they can’t quite put a finger on what it even is. And it is so wonderful to hear, because I know the communication through art is not verbal, and it is not from the position of mental constructions and concepts, but somehow heart to heart and human experience to human experience. It really truly motivates me most of all". Please view Jana Brike's art on Instagram, website and Facebook and read her recent interview here
"At first glance, the sculptures of Dan Lam (Instagram) might seem like living organisms. Created with intense hues, the pieces seem to drip right before the viewers’ eyes with an undeniable energy.Lam uses polyurethane foam, acrylic paint and epoxy resin to create her intricate pieces. She starts with a shape and lets the foam takes its own course, guiding it ever so slightly. Afterwards, she chooses a colour and dots the surfaces of each piece with paint to create even more visual rhythm." via TCP
