George Segal
Segal often said that his goal was to capture the paradox of individual
solitude in the midst of populous places. These figures are placed in an
actual environment of a mundane situation, such as a lunch counter,
movie ticket booth, bus interior, or, as in this case, a park bench

These images are part of
a series of photos
created for an
advertisement for
medication to help people
suffering from
Alzheimers.
Alzheimers is a condition
where recent memories
are stripped away leaving
the sufferer left with
memories of their youth.
So the mirror is used as a
way of showing how the
person sees themselves,
in contrast to how they
appear to those around
them.

“I began painting maps to invent my own complicated narrative about the way
I see and feel about the world. I wanted to list what I know about the world
from memory, from impressions, from media, and from general information
overload. These are paintings of distortions.” ~ Paula Scher
Edward Hopper NIGHTHAWKS 1940
Edward Burra
An odd tension exists
between the barman, the
customer and the slicing
of the ham in Burra’s
painting. The woman eats
distractedly, while the
man cuts with enjoyment
and a sideways glance at
her. Violence and sexual
tension seem to be at
play. Burra was an acute
observer of the everyday,
often exaggerating it into
caricature in order to
comment on society
The Natural World
The shapes of Rorschach tests are intentionally flawed and
ambiguous — allowing us to draw conclusions about a person’s
psyche based on what organic matter they claim to see growing
in the inkblots. In her series, Mirrors, photographer Traci Griffin
flips that concept. By applying symmetry to natural subjects,
they are rendered unnatural and too perfect for this world.

Layered photo drawings
Photographer Christoffer Relander created a series of

photoshop!

Artist Robert Wechsler (previously) was recently comissioned
by the The New Yorker to create a series of coin sculptures for
their October 14th money-themed edition. Wechsler used a
jeweler’s saw to cut precise notches in coins from various
currencies and then joined them together in several geometric
forms

Although this image by Bela Borsodi (nsfw) appears to be four
separate images, it’s actually a single photograph, with all of the
objects perfectly aligned to create an optical illusion. The shot was
used as cover art for an album titled Terrain by VLP. See it all
come together in the video above…

and 21,959 individual components as he reflects on the permanence of
vintage machines built several decades ago—sturdy gadgets meant to
be broken and repaired—versus today’s manufacturing trend of limited
use followed by quick obsolescence.

Zac Freeman started
creating assemblage
artworks of this type in
1999. All artworks are
made entirely out of
collected junk, found
objects, and general
trash. By glueing the
bits of junk to a
wooden substrate, Zac
is able to form an
image, usually faces,
which only can be
seen at a distance

Imagination
Bridget Riley Achaean As in her stripe paintings of 1967-73, Riley's use of the stripe
format represents a desire to use 'unassertive forms' which allow the colours to
establish the painting's structure.
Vasco Mourao
Vasco Mourao is an architect and illustrator originally from Portugal
who now lives and works in Barcelona. His densely illustrated cities
and structures are drawn entirely by hand and while all are of course
fictional places, they often incorporate real buildings. For instance, in
the most dense piece above entitled New Yorker one can find the
Chrysler building, the Met, the Whitney, and the Guggenheim among
others
Celebrated South African artist Jane
Alexander first shot to international fame in

Katie Grinnan
Similar to a camera capturing multiple
exposures in a single image, artist Katie
Grinnan created this sculptural time-lapse

routine using sand, plastic, and enamel.
The end result is representative of both
time and form as each split second is
layered onto the last creating what is both
a singular figure and many

The latest work from
Illinois-born artist and
dancer Tony Orrico.
Tony has
worked/performed
continuously for
upward of four hours
on his drawings that
resemble enormous,
manically scribbled
spirographs
“I stand facing the wall in a stationary stance, using my arm span,
bilateral movement, and alternating variables to inscribe three large
circles. In circle one (day one), my right hand spontaneously navigates
as my left hand instantly copies and reverses the patterning. In circle
two (day two), I repeat this practice with the left hand leading. For the
center circle (day three), both hands direct simultaneously, striving for
perfect unison.”
Tony Orrico
