Matt Lipps’ newest body of work HORIZON/S, flips the traditional mode of institutional curating on its head. In this series, Lipps appropriates content from a late 1950s arts and culture publication that promises to offer a curated selection of international culture that will add a sense of sophistication to anyone’s taste. From these images, Lipps’ playfully explores what happens to the meaning of certain objects and images when you remix them into new systems and catagories – altering both content and context. DailyServing’s founder Seth Curcio, recently spoke to the artist about the physical construction of his mysterious photographs, the ubiquity of images today, and how his own taste emerges from the appropriated pages of Horizon Magazine.

Delaney Allen‘s photographs seem like studies in transience, each snapshot capturing a split-second in the movement of some natural phenomenon. Smoke, fog, mist — these are the restless subjects that Allen looks at through the lens, as all the while they shift and transform rather than stay still for their respective portraits. Read more »

Brecht Evens is a Brussels, Belgium based cartoonist and illustrator.  He creates expressive comics that take you on a mystical adventure through a wonderland of seemingly normal places.  As garden utopias manifest out of the back rooms of nightclubs and bars- a myriad of personal intimacies are revealed from behind the closed doors of apartment flats and town houses.  His paintings and comics leave you with a resonating feeling comparable to having a near perfect night out in your favorite city.

In his dream-like art and illustrations, London-based graphic artist and illustrator  Ruben Ireland mixes traditional techniques — ink and acrylic — with non-traditional techniques — dirty water, food and weathered paper — and modern techniques — Photoshop and a wacom tablet.

Theodora Allen makes oil paintings I can’t stop looking at. They may start with the stereotypical oil painting subject — still life, portrait, etc. — yet each one inspires its own stylized narrative with a beginning, middle and end, well past the visible brush stroke.  Read more »

Been hearing the name Dan Gunn a lot lately, and for good reason. I don’t just throw around the term”forward thinking”, and Gunn’s work embodies exactly that, a forward thinking approach to painting. Taking a constructed, material approach to making an image, Gunn offers up an array of abstraction through various modes of presentation. Gunn integrates common structures alongside notions of commercial display, found objects, and traditionally rooted painting techniques to concoct pieces that aren’t quite like anything I’ve seen before. How do you make something that is both indifferent and desirable? More images after the jump…
