J Louis’ fascination with moments of human connection exhibits itself in his work through cleverly posed subjects and his use of texture and color amid abstracted space.
Виктор Низовцев is a Russian painter, a master of whimsical and narrative art. Subjects include fantasy landscapes, russian folklore, theatre, and mermaids. I've been on the hunt for Nizovtsev's mermaids for a while now, and in total I have found 9 of them on the internet. I know there are more. He does them so well, and with such care, I imagine his studio overrun with them.

Looking at these installations, I imagine they are like clues indicating a secret trail somewhere otherworldly. Like something out of a children’s book, Hansel and Gretel have left a trail, but instead of white pebbles, this time they’ve left retro lamps. Alas it’s not Hansel and Gretel with a new flair for vintage objects, this…

If you were living in Paris during the years that followed World War II and liked to party, you’d better have known Boris Vian. In 1950, he wrote the original guidebook to bohemian Paris and pioneered a movement which brought back the city’s “joie de vivre” that had been lost during the German occupation. Along with Jean Paul-Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, Boris…

Weirder than weird. Stranger than strange. Fiction has nothing on reality when the latter looks like the stuff shared on the r/hmmm subreddit. Reality wins the bizarreness department, hands down. To show you exactly what we mean, we’ve collected some of the most powerful photos shared on the online community that have literally no context and get funnier and more peculiar the longer you look at them.

Italian illustrator Daria Petrilli's digital artworks hearken back to the countryside retreats described by Flaubert and Tolstoy. She specializes in depicting pallid, Victorian beauties with curled hair and wasp waists. But Petrilli blurs the lines between nature and society with her dreamlike style, adorning some protagonists with bird wings and others with shells and other natural elements. In one piece, the character's dress becomes a window into a remote forest. When asked about her fascination with birds, she replied: "To me they communicate a sense of primordial restlessness." See some of Daria Petrilli's work after the jump.
