Italian artist Alessandro Gallo (featured in HF Vol. 24) presents a disorienting series of sculptures for his upcoming solo show at Jonathan LeVine Gallery, "Strani Incontri." The show's title translates to "strange encounters," which is an apt summary of the experience of coming upon one of Gallo's large-scale clay figures. Expertly reproducing human and animal anatomy, Gallo blends the two to create convincing hybrids of man and beast. The works produce an almost eerie sense of unheimliche, as Freud put it: when the familiar becomes uncomfortably strange.

Los Angeles-based artist Matthew Grabelsky combines a hyperrealistic painting technique with a surreal penchant for unlikely juxtapositions. Raised in New York City, Grabelsky uses its subway’s underground world as the setting for his unlikely pairings. Grabelsky’s works depict couples on subways, often nonchalantly reading magazines or newspapers, but the male figures in these dyads are […]
Anyone with a pet knows how cute they can look in pictures. Whether they’re sleeping, playing, or stealing your food when photographed, they are just the most photogenic creatures possible. But it’s not only pets that can be overly cute. Wild animals are surprisingly good with working the camera as well, as any wildlife photographer could confirm.
These pictures are what dreams and fairytales are made of—Russian photographer Katerina Plotnikova creates beautiful portraits that balance between the real and surreal. While she nails lighting, composition, and other important aspects of the craft, arguably the most impressive feature of Plotnikova's work is her feature of animals that we aren't used to seeing in fine-art photography. Like a bear. Or a moose.
As the news of the virus starting making the media, with all the uncertainty, fewer people were adopting pets and adoption events all around the world were canceled due to social distancing efforts. It didn’t take long before shelters were absolutely swamped with a tremendous number of pets.
