The techniques Australian artist Kate Shaw is using to create her wonderful works are pretty unique: first, she pours skins of acrylic paint and lets them form naturally; then she looks for landscapes within these abstract forms to cut and reassemble. The outcome are collages that remind you of natural landscapes, showing trees, mountains and lakes, but still giving you a surreal sensation. ‘This is not from this world’.

Complex forms and dynamics of mainly nude people, etched in, drawn on or cut out of diverse materials dominate the beautiful imagery of Jason Thielke. The artworks of this American artist seem to be a merge of technical line compositions and wild, almost confused intersecting lines resulting in powerful and delicate images. His signature style reflects ‘the messiness of life and how we are trying to figure things out’. If messiness would always be that beautiful, life could be much easier.

Being a famous photographer is not only about taking pictures of famous people and beautiful models, it’s also about having fun. A lot, actually. Who could match this sentence better then Terry Richardson? If you want to see the stars and starlets in more laidback poses, check out Terry Richardson’s diary.

Unconscious gestures that say much more than words ever could tempts the interest of visual artist Beth Cavener Stichter. She observes animal body language and transfers it ‘into human psychological portraits’. So her animal sculptures, captured in moments of tension, are metaphors for us human beings, caught in situations like isolation, aggression, or fear. A very inspiring approach to re-thinking modern society.

The two Romanian visual artists, Saddo and Aitch, are in a quite privileged position: not just one, but two galleries in Canada would like to exhibit their work next year. But as we all know, times are rough and so are the financial capabilities of galleries and foundations.

When ArchTriumph arranged the competition to design a contemporary bridge in Paris, the French Atelier Zündel Cristea decided this should be fun. So they came up with an inflatable bridge that consists of trampolines, permitting the Parisians to cross their beloved Seine in a very playful and innovative way. And this lovely idea let them achieve an excellent third place.

When calling the black Indian ink calligraphies by Israeli artist Ronit Bigal minimal art, it’s actually meant literally. Her work is composed of tiny Hebrew letters and it takes thousands of them to cover the skin. In the photographs, her work almost appears like abstract landscapes or carpets made of letters that seem so haptic, you feel like you could read them by touching them with your fingers.

Kislow is one of the most outstanding and talented street artists from the Ukraine. The Kiev-born artist prettifies gigantic murals with his very imaginative, playful and personal style. Even though Surrealism is the epoch that probably influenced him the most, his highly detailed art could as well be inspired by fairytales from the last century.

The work of Bristol-based artist Ian Francis seems almost like stills taken from dreams. His figurative paintings are usually falling apart to melt into profound abstract compositions underlined by intense colours. The inspiration is taken from modern, everyday life: like street culture, cinema, and pornography. And by reflecting its hedonistic nature, he converts these impressions into a mediated landscape that makes his art so unique.

During the past few decades, street art not only became an accepted means to express yourself but an ambassador of culture and tradition. One of the best examples for that is the Chilean artist, INTI, who spreads his indigenous characters with their maize cobs, traditional vesture, skulls and typical accessories from all around the globe. His huge works usually cover entire parts of buildings to make the appearance even more impressive.

Growing up as a son to a hunter family in the countryside of Austria, Nychos started quite early to get a profound sense for the beauty and the ugliness of life. So for his professional activities with his Rabbit Eye Movement, it was kind of self-evident to focus on animals and the dissection of their bodies – thankfully as an artist, not as a hunter. Until mid-October, he is exhibiting at the Neurotitan Gallery in Berlin, forming part of a group show.
