Posted by Fabio 6 May 2011

Homo Animatus by Hyungkoo Lee, was an extension of a series of earlier pieces where the artist physically sought to alter – to reduce to cartoon simplicity – his own anatomy.

Posted by Fabio 3 May 2011

Monica Cook paints beautiful and disturbing portraits of women. Her figures are brilliantly painted, with breathtaking skill; Cook excels in rendering the subtleties of the flesh and details of light, tone and surface.
