One of America's foremost sculptors, Malvina Hoffman (1885-1966) studied with the great French sculptor Auguste Rodin from 1910 until his death in 1917 and is recognized by some as "America's Rodin". Hoffman is perhaps best known for her monumental bronze series, "The Races of Mankind", commissioned in 1930 by Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History.
Auguste Toulmouche’s 1866 painting “The Hesitant Fiancée” is making the rounds on TikTok FYPs across the globe, inviting women of all ages to not only marvel at and meme-ify the bride’s pissed off scowl, but see themselves in it, too.
When I visited the Amsterdams Historisch Museum a few weeks ago, I was surprised and thrilled to find, in a room devoted to enormous guild portraits of different sorts of tradesmen, 2 walls devoted to portraits of surgeons guilds (see top photo for an installation view.) The portraits range from the early 17th to the late 18th Century and are truly spectacular in scale, quality, and affect. Many of the guild portraits were painted during the annual surgeon's guild public dissection, for which the city would provide an executed criminal. My favorite of these paintings is the third image down, the painting of one of my favorite historical figures of all time, Doctor Frederick Ruysch, dissecting an infant with the assistance of his son, who holds an animatedly posed child's skeleton. Ruysch was a brilliant Dutch anatomist famous for his imaginative tableaus using similarly animated tiny skeletons, as well as his uncannily life-like wet specimens, famously captured by Rosamond Purcell in the wonderful Finders, Keepers. I have found copies of all the surgeon's guild paintings on view in this room (and a few more found in the museum's portrait database) and posted them here, for your pleasure. Images, top to bottom :1) Installation view. 2)Anatomische les van Dr. Sebastiaan Egbertsz., ca. 1601-'03; Aert Pietersz.

Nemo's crafts illustrations and murals with vague, sometimes grotesque characters often shown in reflection or anguish. When the viewer looks past the unsettling circumstances of these drawings and paintings, they may find something relatable in the emotions evoked in each piece. Just like the name of the artist, the works serve multiple functions.
Erik Thor Sandberg’s cerebral paintings in the “Bloom” series are both fanciful and disconcerting. The artist is known for creating work within the magical realism tradition, with narratives packed with mythology and elegantly rendered bodies. Sandberg was last featured on HiFructose.com here.
The troupe of wild animals in Bruno Pontiroli’s paintings contort their bodies into backbends and handstands that would rival even the most accomplished gymnast. A wrinkly hippo balances on its tongue, a tiger arches its torso into a 90-degree angle, and a hyena rotates its hind legs in the air. The French artist (previously) notes that he begins the bizarre artworks with easily-recognized animals that he then shapes “like the way a child plays with modeling clay or a building set for instance,” morphing a simple depiction of a nimble lion or hare into a peculiar new reality.

My expression originates and transforms in a melancholy avant-garde universe. I evolve clothes based on a conceptual and sculptural approach to the process through experiments with forms and layers to create unconventional silhouettes.

Alien meets House of Wax in Matthew J. Levin's melted, mutilated statuettes. The spine-chilling creatures have glistening skin stretching over elongated bones and folding over protruding ribs. Many objects appear organically self-actualized; as if the creatures emerged alone out of a solid substance. Though their appearances may be repulsive, Levin's method of positioning his small-scaled creatures in dance-like movements imbues them with a sort of grace and unearthly beauty.

Bruno Pontiroli es un pintor francés que en un principio estudió Diseño en 3D, pero que pronto se sintió atraído por el abismo blanco del lienzo. Su trabajo, depurado y preciso, juega con ensoñaciones oníricas de un mundo vuelto al revés y con visiones irónico/críticas de la realidad: cualquier cosa, objeto o situación es para él motivo de inspiración para sus cuadros como reconoce en la entrevista cuyo link adjunto. http://brunopontiroli.com/ https://www.facebook.com/bruno.pontiroli http://thecultural.es/2016/06/23/entrevista-a-bruno-pontiroli/ https://www.lamonomagazine.com/bruno-pontiroli-una-logica-diferente/ http://stafmagazine.com/gallery/bruno-pontiroli/ http://fousiongallery.com/portfolio/bruno-pontiroli/ Todas las imágenes y/o vídeos que se muestran corresponden al artista o artistas referenciados.

This print is printed on a lustrous satin-finish paper that captures the colors beautifully and sharply; the shadows rich and deep. **Check the Size** There are several sizes available for this print - so make sure you have the right size! :) ************************ The delicate demons we harbor Intricate like neurons, delicate like veins - Our monsters - made of storm clouds, made of lace Flames that trace our fault lines That but a breath could extinguish. The delicate haunts that swim in the moonlight, That rise like hairs along the skin - at a touch Of the stinging tendrils, like a promise, like a guilt That whispers in the dark. They glow so gently within, calling us into the dark To see them glimmer so. Let them shimmer, let them burn Let them dance away into the night.
FRIENDS OF THE HOUSE · Knitting the Ocean - “It’s so hard to explain because on land…there’s nothing that is like it. Because you feel weightless… you can’t hear anything besides your own breathing,” says Erik Speer when describing scuba diving. “So many senses are taken away from you, but then you are just inundated with...new experiences and visions.”
