Fred Eerdekens’ work combines shadows and and typography to create experimental artworks that lie somewhere between installation and sculpture. Each piece relies on the perfectly lit gallery space to create the visual tricks and the process of the work is revealed as viewers walk around and interact with the work. Not restricted by one material Eerdekens uses everything from artificial cloud formations (pictured above) that spell out “neo deo” to food boxes (after the jump) that are arranged to cast the shadow “Come Home”.

A few days back we posted the snow drawings of Sonja Hinrichsen and today we came across Simon Beck,  another artist working with the medium of snow. Simon’s extremely complex drawings are made by simply walking in the geometric patterns in snow shoes for hours on end. Sometimes the same piece has to be redrawn several times due to new snow fall. Unexpected high temperatures are also problematic as pieces can melt away in just a few days giving the work an even more magical and ephemeral tone.

Canadian photographer Hana Pesut’s Switcheroo series of work examines how couples start to look and dress alike as their relationship progresses. The process is simple. Get dressed in the morning, show up, and then switch your entire outfit with your significant other and mimic their pose. The result is a humorous body of work that examines sexual politics, social identity, and how we express ourselves through our clothing.

Dylan Rabe is a fellow artist and friend and colleague of mine. His illustrative works contain all things one could hope to see in a painting. Executed with bold colors and painstaking attention to detail, they fuse together theatrical narratives with assemblages of eccentric subjects, symbolic props, aged furniture, and elaborate décor; he successfully fits all such things into a single painting, typically creating medium to large-scale works. Dylan derives influence from a variety of sources such as 1950′s pulp art, soap operas, science fiction and romance novels. His work is enigmatic and enchanting, and I hope to see Dylan’s work gain further recognition in the future.  Read more »

Jennifer Mehigan‘s  Armed/Luminous series (2010) mixes paint with found imagery to explore the hidden beauty of fire. The Sydney-based artist’s use of bright brushstrokes undermines the scenes of terror behind by destroying the image  in both material and metaphorical terms, with a clear parallel to Gerhard Richter‘s Overpainted series.

BeMySatellite is a new public initiative founded by LA-based designer, Bora Shin, that will be officially launching it’s first “mission” at 09:32–9:38AM on Monday, 02/26/2011. Starting with Los Angeles County, the initiative aspires to help every individual on planet earth (roughly 9.83 million people – no big deal, right??) collaboratively leave their mark on commercial satellite imagery (think Google, Yahoo, Bing…). Put simply: the project reinterprets a satellite to be one that facilitates creative opportunities for self-expression, public art, and performance as opposed to one that solely documents and monitors the land. More after the jump. Read more »
