New Art / Andrew Sutherland
January 4, 2010 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
It baffles my mind how Brooklyn-based artist Andrew Sutherland can glue a stack of newspapers together and then cut them to look just like wood. His materials are simple, but his methods are transcendent, creating cascades of color and pattern as if the mundane materials of our throw-away culture actually contain within them the secrets of the universe.

New Art / Beth Cavener Stichter
January 2, 2010 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
Beth Cavener Stichter’s amazing clay animal sculptures trigger a strange and unnerving empathic response in viewers with their subtly anthropomorphic elements. Read more

New Art / Tim Lee
December 30, 2009 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
British-born artist Tim Lee incorporates themes from his Chinese ancestry into his art in a way that transcends mere self-exotification. Lee’s intricate ink paintings on rice paper pay homage to his heritage as much as they do to contemporary graphic forms and aesthetic, while playing on themes of eroticism and death. Read more

New Art / Shelley Reed
December 28, 2009 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
New-York-based artist Shelley Reed seems on the surface to be a mere recreationist of post-Renaissance Dutch and French painting styles, but her black-and-white palette suggests photography, hinting at a contemporary vantage point from which she tackles classical subject matter. Read more

New Art / Karen Sargsyan
December 26, 2009 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
Dutch artist Karen Sargsyan makes some really great and expressive paper sculptures that aren’t as fussy and intricate as the work of other people working with the same medium. They have an innocent giddiness about them, and look almost like costumes on live actors. Read more

New Art / Fumie Sasabuchi
December 24, 2009 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
Fumie Sasabuchi uses fashion photography as source images for her collaged drawings. The Japanese-born artist’s pieces have a lyricism about them, recalling the anatomical drawings of Di Vinci as well as classical figurative paintings, with a preoccupation with death and the alteration of surfaces.

New Art / Textures in art
December 24, 2009 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
Lately I’ve been inspired by a lot of artists that use a lot of different textures in their work. I got a book about insect physiology from the Book Thing in Baltimore, and I’ve been using it to get ideas for various biological forms and patterns. The first one here was from an electron microscope photograph of a corn moth’s antennae. The second one was just a freeform thing that was playing with. Read more

New Art / Lisa Solberg
December 18, 2009 | New Art | by Ilana Kohn |
Los Angeles painter Lisa Solberg was just what I was in the mood for this morning, as I was glancing through my links. Color, lots of color, tossed about, smeared and swirled all over the canvas. It really hits the spot. She also has a new video of her painting process.

New Art / The Bricoleur by Ricky Swallow
December 17, 2009 | New Art | by Helen Ferry |
New work by Australian artist Ricky Swallow is showcased in The Bricoleur, now showing at the Ian Potter Centre, NGV. Swallow’s work explores themes of mortality and immortality, with the inexorable passage of time a common thread that connects his sculptures and watercolour paintings. Painstakingly and beautifully forged, his sculptures poignantly record the discarded and mundane objects that may survive us, revealing their participation in the construction of our identity and illuminating the temporality of our own lives.

New Art / Paul Hazelton
December 14, 2009 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
The dirt and ephemera Paul Hazelton uses in his work suggests the impermanence of all things. The British artist assembles household dust into ghostly figures as if to reassemble to sloughed-off particles of people and things back into their original forms. Read more

New Art / Danny Roberts
December 12, 2009 | New Art | by Zolton |
Amazing! That’s about the only word that could be used to describe the work of young Californian artist, Danny Roberts. He studied Photography at Cal Poly SLO, and then Fashion Design at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Of his work, he says: ‘When I was five, I convinced myself that pouring mud onto cardboard was how to make concrete. I began drawing as a young child, but it wasn’t until a few years ago, when I decided to practice everyday, that I started getting better’. Read more

New York artist James Jean doesn’t need any introduction. But, just in case you haven’t seen his work yet, take a peek now. And forever be in awe. We caught up with him recently in his studio and asked him about the props for his daily inspiration: ‘Sometimes I’ll have my laptop setup next to my work station so that I can listen to audio books, the radio, or have videos playing in the background. But mostly inspiration comes from books and magazines’. Read more
Anytime you find Houndstooth and Hoody in the same sentence you know it will be a good day. Well, today has been a great day and New Dandyism, the lovechild of a conglomate of lusty designers — Sons by Obedient Sons, wood wood and Call of the Wild — is the reason. It’s a surprisingly coherent and articulate project for one cooked up in a kitchen filled with chefs. Read more
I bought BibliOdyssey [by PK, published by Fuel] yesterday at New York’s PS1 Bookstore and was surprised to find out that this old-fashioned book (archival images from old books) was actually based on the blog, BibliOdyssey. Read more
I’ve loved 3D art ever since I was a kid, especially the kind that requires 3D glasses to really appreciate it. My studio, Thunderdog, is working on an art book right now of just three dimensional art, featuring a hundred artists. It should be out next Christmas.
Kirk brings Molly to meet his family for a pool party but she doesn’t have her swim suit. Kirk, an average Joe, can’t believe his luck when gorgeous babe Molly falls for him even though he’s the first to admit She’s Out of My League. In cinemas April 1.
A Dutch insurance company recently launched a pretty creative ad campaign that was put on the backs of buses in Amsterdam, making them look like they were actually moving backwards.
The coolest band in Indonesia? I think so. White Shoes & The Couples Company describe themselves as a small band that is ‘influenced by Indonesian movie soundtracks from the 70s and inspired by the acoustic spirit of 1930’s classic jazz musicians’. But I like to think of them as carrying the torch for artists like Benny Goodman, Tahiti 80, and The Cardigans, all at the same time.
Listen to their track, Super Reuni.
