Last year around this time we introduced you to Chad Wys‘ controversial art. Since then he produced a series entitled ” Nocturne”, that I really liked. Taking portraits from the Renaissance era he uses a process he refers to as deconstruction to “understand how culture interacts with the visuality that permeates there”. Having studying art theory and criticism has a lot of influence (...) Read More about Chad Wys’ Nocturne Series (87 words)

Vanessa Beecroft is known for her performance art based on social and cultural commentary. Her images are extremely striking and her concepts deeply evolved. “There is a passive aggressive beauty to this art,” said Roberta Smith for the New York Times, and I couldn’t agree more with that comment on a general social perception of her art, but to me it mixes so many of the elements that I lust for in life, art, and expression things such as color, warm minimalism, the unrefined yet completely fabricated all in one teaspoon, attention to human body and abstraction of our everyday perception.
