Like a lot of art on this blog, Meghan Howland’s beautiful portraits have a very dreamlike atmosphere. Her characters seem to be represented in a more complex context however, balancing somewhere on a line between danger and security.

A comprehensive survey of kakemono, the classical Japanese art of the wall scroll Spanning Japanese painting from the 16th to the 19th centuries, this thrilling volume presents a selection of 120 kakemonos from the Perino collection in Italy.The kakemono (literally “hanging thing”) is a Japanese painting or calligraphy, on silk, cotton or paper, contained as a scroll and intended to be hung on the wall.Unlike a hemakimono―a roll that is opened horizontally on a surface―the kakemono opens vertically and is designed as an indoor wall decoration. Being connected to anniversaries, specific periods of the year or special occasions, it is displayed only temporarily and then placed, carefully rolled up, in a special box.The subjects are mainly taken from nature (flowers, birds, fish) and show a naturalism and a tremendous accuracy of detail. Works of rare beauty by artists such as Maruyama Okyo, Kishi Ganku and Kusumi Morikage are included here.

Atsuko Goto (a featured artist in Beautiful Bizarre Magazine Issue 008) is the overseer of a delicate wonderland.

Atsuko weaves together a bewitching world that calls to the dreamers within us. It’s a celebration of the spiritual aspects of life that we cannot entirely see, but feel. Atsuko’s artworks go beyond mere paint and canvas, they are like living dreams for all of us to ponder. Inspired by her homeland, Atsuko primarily works with Japanese techniques and mediums to create her uniquely soft, muted palette. She paints with Japanese ink, gum Arabic and even uses a brilliant blue lapis lazuli as a part of her dried pigment collection to create her signature moody dreamscapes. The
