New Art / Krista Wortendyke
January 20, 2012 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
Whee! The people over at Triangulation Blog just posted about my high school friend Krista Wortendyke, who deals with media disseminated experiences of war and violence in her conceptual and collaged photographs. I posted about her before, but she’s got a lot of new stuff up on her website. Read more
New Art / Gabriel Neale
January 20, 2012 | New Art | by Joe Simpson 
|
I came across Gabriel Neale’s paintings on the Internet whilst researching references for new paintings. I instantly loved the dark and strange figures in his paintings and the way he uses colour. His paintings feel like a mix between the loneliness of an Edward Hopper painting, with the darkness of Francis Bacon and Jenny Saville.
New Art / Camila Leon
January 20, 2012 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
I love the exploration of repetition and organic forms in Chilean artist Camilla Leon’s work. Her work with chalk on sidewalks is particularly inspiring. Read more
New Art / Political billboard art by Peter Fuss
January 20, 2012 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
I’ve been thinking a lot about political art in public lately, especially on billboards, and Peter Fuss is someone that gives me a lot of ideas and inspiration. Read more
New Art / Monochromatic art by Audria Brumberg
January 20, 2012 | New Art | by Mel May |
Audria Brumberg is a New York-based Illustrator and designer who has worked for clients such as Calvin Klein, Loreal, and Mattel Barbie. Her commercial work is outstanding, but what really interests me is her personal work. A monochromatic palette compliments varied textures and line beautifully, coming together to create balanced, distinctive compositions. Read more
New Art / Poster design by Tom Lacey
January 20, 2012 | New Art | by Tom McMahon |
Tom Lacey, ex-The Ghost of a Thousand, has one of those styles that defies definition. He can create super intricate pictures as well as simple and to the point ones, without losing the intensity and focus of the subject he’s serving. Read more
New Art / Jonathan Brand
January 19, 2012 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
Jonathan Brand makes replicas of machines, bikes, diamonds, and cars out of unexpected materials as well as other conceptual and action-based work that deals with object making and performance. Read more
January 19, 2012 | New Art | by Dave Mahler |
I’m a Melbourne-based music video director, cartoonist, musician and animator. I directed my first clip back in 2009 and I’ve been working towards my dream as a feature length film director ever since. Comics have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’m just gearing up to put out the fith issue of Kahvillen Comics, a quarterly digest choc full of introspective tales, ‘witty’ observations and fart jokes.
January 19, 2012 | New Art | by Brice |
Hell Ton John is a brilliant young artist and graphic designer from Tahiti, in French Polynesia. His painting is largely inspired by tattoos and Polynesian imagery, combined with patterns taken from street art. The contrast between the ancestral signs and urban graphics is beautiful. Read more
New Art / Daniel Arsham
January 18, 2012 | New Art | by Lisa Solberg |
I have a major crush on Daniel Arsham. I like everything he does and has done, which also makes him very annoying to me. When you find an artist that somehow manages to accomplish this, there is no place to feel anything but respect. And exhaustion. Read more
January 18, 2012 | New Art | by Zolton |
David Palmer takes a novel approach to his art, creating detailed portraits from empty bullet casings. The twist? His subjects were all tragically killed by bullets themselves. Shoot! Read more
New Art / Mary Chiaramonte
January 18, 2012 | New Art | by Mary |
Mary Chiaramonte began painting at age three. As a child in rural West Virginia in the early 80s, her family lived off of and worked the land. Chiaramonte had no TV or other electronic distractions. Often encouraged to entertain herself with objects in nature, she was left with the workings of her imagination and her observations of the world around her, which she translated into paintings and drawings.

These guys are on the forefront of digital visual spectacle. They have transformed Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House, and a myriad of well known static surfaces into virtual worlds of shapeshifting imagery. I’ve known them for years and they are just good artists. They just did this incredible installation, bringing a mosque to life in Abu Dhabi.
New Art / Natalia Rolon
January 17, 2012 | New Art | by Natalia Rolon |
Whether depicting forlorn-looking children or prim houses, some already struck by calamity, Natalia Rolon’s pieces convey tension, restlessness and a feeling of distance, as though one were looking into a dream or back upon a painful memory. Read more
New Art / James Guppy’s world of magic realism
January 16, 2012 | New Art | by Penelope Donovan |
Australian artist James Guppy uses superb technique to render a world of magic realism. If you’re into labels, try ‘Postmodern Fetishism’. His art reveals the private dreams and nightmares of life in the twenty first century. Read more
One of my favourite artists of the moment is Tanya Bennett, an English woman with a background in fashion, who wants to be Scottish, lives in Hong Kong, and loves drawing naked women. It doesn’t get more eclectic! Her Doris collection, in particular, is superb.
Question: when is a table not a table? Answer: when’s it’s a piece of art. Thank you Kyle Jay Jamison for creating this awesome table that could just as easily hang on a museum wall. We love. Read more

New York-based designer, and sometime Lost At E Minor contributor, Deanne Cheuk visited Beijing prior to the Olympics as part of the New Grand Tour. We touched in with her to see how she found the experience of being over there: ‘we visited some really modern art galleries, which seemed to be on par with with the best galleries in New York City’.
UK music journalist Everett True comes from the Nick Kent school of writing: live the life and hope to come out the other end with one hell of a story. And he has. In this case, the story of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. In this exclusive piece, he talks about his association with Seattle’s finest and his friendship with the perennially troublesome Courtney Love.

You may have already heard composer Nico Muhly this year on All Is Well, Samamidon’s lovely reimaginings of immigrant folk songs. (If you haven’t, you should). Mothertongue, Muhly’s second album and first for Brassland (run by members of the National), is divided into three acts. Read more

WE'RE POSTING / SOME OF THE BEST
Benjamin Edminston’s psychedelic heads seem to have some fearful wisdom behind their blissed-out eyes. Read more
Pitched as ‘Ulterior Motives in Contemporary Art’, Disorder Disorder is running until November 14 at Penrith Regional Gallery.
