Lu Cong presents figurative portraits with an infinite sadness-glance. His paintings are timeless but with a strong consciousness of our time, ready for the patient viewer that wants to perceive behind the appearances.

All the worlds, all the landscapes. There are many things I don’t know about tomorrow’s land, but I almost imagine it as the fictional environment paintings of Melanie Authier, where ferocity and beauty splashes everything like a fountain.

“Landscapes are living eco systems and environments. They have existed well before, and will hopefully be here way beyond the time we are here. When taking photographs, time and space seem hard for me to measure” says Mitch Dobrowner. And is hard to believe this photographer doesn’t seem connected with his job. Beautiful!

In one of those days you don’t know how do you end up there, I found Brandi Strickland’s work in adondelaviste:

Pretty ingenious the images from Jim Sanborn. I specially prefer those made back in the 90s, where he would project light shapes during the night over several landscapes and photographed with long exposures. Behold, you photoshop hipsters.

From beginning to end. Every single second of pinpoint accuracy and wise movements was for me a huge joy. Master printer Keizaburo Matsuzaki reproduces a piece by legendary Kitagawa Utamaro. They are just so many layers of time and color in this video. The title Hymn to Beauty couldn’t be more accurate!

This very complete collection of images done on streets by artist Escif have change a little something on me. I’m amazed for his use of physical space, how that can change the composition or distribution of the art. Not that I haven’t seen it on street artists before. Is just that this is very good. Besides, there’s a subtle wink to a collective conciseness and a clever sens of motion that makes it very fun!
