A friend told me to look up Mariana Monteagudo’s artwork. She recommended it because I have a tendency to be drawn to cute, yet creepy art. I was blown away by it. Her work consists of large, ceramic art dolls. I may be strange, but I thought they were less creepy and more cute. She’s a Venezuelan artist with a new show called, Humanoid, running at Space 2 in Bogota, Colombia.

The fact that this paintball portrait of Marylin Monroe done by Colombian collective Bon Yurt was a group effort makes it all the more impressive, with each shooter sticking precisely to his assigned color field without being distracted by his fellow gunmen. I wonder if this would work with real bullets.
