Cuando la gente dice ‘bueno, usted pensaba esto hace unos años y ahora dice otra cosa’; mi respuesta es… ‘bueno, ¿crees que he trabajado duro todos estos años para decir lo mismo y no ser cambiado? - Michel Foucault

Despite the well-fed egos, Jonathan Pierce and co.'s new album-- one that features ugly, petty, real emotion and multiple references to death or dying-- is a smaller, more intimate record than last year's self-titled predecessor.

Tutorial básico para todas las edades: pasa un rato divertido creando tu primer collage a mano. Explicación paso a paso 😊✂️
About Maria Rivans is a contemporary British artist, known for her scrapbook-style collage aesthetic. A mash-up of Surrealism meets Pop-Art, Rivans’s work re-appropriates vintage ephemera to create dreamy realms, which transport the viewer into fantastical worlds of the imaginary. Each one finished with a dusting of subtle humor. In her pin-up series, Maria Rivans reclaims iconic femininity to champion female strength. Her exotic and escapist works are often laced with ominous undertones, to remind us of the darker side of human nature. Starring Jean Simmons - British starlet of 1950s fame - as ‘Joy’, an exuberant and sunny character, Rivans’s print has the heady buzz of spring about it. Filled with the joys of life, Joy sparkles in her feathered, off-the-shoulder collar and signature exotic headdress, which brims with flora, fauna, and fantastical fragments. A lover of nature and music, travelling and the simple pleasures of life, Joy wears her passions on her bounteous bonnet: vintage cars for speeding across countries; old-fashioned radios for tuning into meandering melodies; bumblebees signal her ecological activism; firecrackers for the vitality of life; the lull of the sea, sounding in the depths of pearly shells; and the soft wings of white birds for taking flight at the drop of a headdress. Through an intense attention to detail and an artistic sensitivity to color and composition, each of Rivans’ artworks is the product of months of careful deliberations and decisions, every tiny tweak necessary in the final formation. Maria Rivans works from her studio in Brighton and exhibits throughout the UK. Her work is also highly appreciated internationally. Her colorful collages can be seen from New York to Hong Kong. ''Joy'' has an edition of 60.

"Je guette les comportements secrets des êtres humains. Capturer un moment fugace ou révéler un monde secret est ce que je m'efforce de faire. Et si j'y parviens, je suis capable de révéler une part de la beauté, de la laideur, de la solitude, et du désir qui existe en chacun de nous. Mes collages se concentrent sur l'espace individuel, les relations physiques, et les situations énigmatiques. Les formes humaines que je crée ont des identités obscures, permettant à leurs actes de transmettre le tragique.« I believe in the secret behavior of human beings. Capturing a fleeting moment or revealing a hidden world is what I strive to do. And if I’m successful, I am able to glimpse at some of the beauty, ugliness, solitude, and desire that exists in us all. My collaged pieces focus on personal space, physical relationships, and enigmatic situations. The human forms that I create have obscured identities, allowing for their actions to convey the drama. I construct my scenes by sifting-through, and piecing-together imagery cut from obscure books and magazines. In a constant state of layering paper, moving shapes, adding and subtracting colors, I am waiting for figures to form, and something exciting to happen. And when it does, when I have spotted that brief moment in time that feels so natural, or unnatural, that’s when I let the viewer to decide what it all means. »
