Christina West’s Candy Colored Spray Painted Spin On Classical Sculpture
Through the use of bright color, spray paint, and clever distortions, Atlanta based artist Christina West’s work puts a fun, humorous and contemporary spin on a classical aesthetic. West sculpts busts and full figures that begin as traditional looking white ceramic pieces, yet are matched with moments of almost ice cream cake or jawbreaker like slices. Her process begins as the classic method of creating a casted sculpture does; she creates her portraits based on a desire for likeness. However, once the piece comes out of the mold, West gives herself a freedom to play and likeness no longer becomes her purpose. Instead, she aims to, as stated in the gallery statement for her upcoming show at CG2 gallery in Nashville, TN, “highlight the alienation that I inevitably feel with others because their thoughts and feelings are inaccessible; I can never be in another head as completely as i am in my own” (source).

There’s no room for error. juddering skulls wrapped in pallid skin He runs a Tumblr blog called “Art of the Glitch,” where he posts images that he’s captured of erratic irregularities in analog technology, but only those that meet the requirements of his personal interest in glitch art. “There was a precision and a refinement to that particular glitch style that I’ve been chasing after in my own work,” Johnson says. No more is this obvious in his latest series of images that have been created from obstreperous VCR errors. “There’s an inherent creepiness to the beauty” In any case, the images prove inescapably creepy—see if you can look at this self-portrait for longer than a few seconds without becoming anxious. “Most people over the age of about 23 right now have some fond memories of VHS tapes, and there’s a shorthand between the viewer and the piece in that instance.

Da Vinci's Hidden Portrait Revealed Beneath the <i>Mona Lisa</i>
Screencap via BBC Mona Lisa wasn't always so mysterious—at least, not according to multi-spectrum analysis by French scientist Pascal Cotte, who was granted exclusive access to the painting in 2010. Since then, he's been developing technology designed to see "under" famous artworks' many layers of paint, effectively revealing the first drafts of our most admired masterpieces. Previously, his technique claimed to reveal the original colors of da Vinci's mysterious subject, and suggested another, The Lady with an Ermine, had been substantially edited as well. Multi-spectral analysis is the key to Cotte's findings. Pascal Cotte exposed The Mona Lisa to light from every part of the spectrum for his research Assuming Cotte's findings are true, it seems that the most iconic parts of The Mona Lisa were added at the end. That said, Cotte's new report is more controversial than the The Lady with an Ermine, since they strip da Vinci's subject of her famous fourth wall-breaking gaze and sly smile.
7 most morbid Victorian mourning traditions
Halloween’s ghouls, goblins, ghosts and skeletons — we may get dark and creepy about death one day a year, but we’ve got nothing on the Victorians. While people of the 19th century were wildly repressed about many things, their comfort with death was a far cry from modern sentiments. Nowhere is this more evident than in British mourning etiquette during the time of Queen Victoria’s reign (1837 to 1901). The death of her husband, Prince Albert, in 1861 ushered in a rigorous display of mourning that set the stage for the general culture to follow. What became customary mourning, by today’s standards, seems downright macabre and morose. So in honor of the upcoming All Hallows' Eve, when all things turn spooky and spine-chilling, here’s a look at what was once the ghoulish norm. 1. Prior to 1839 portraits were painted, but with the invention of the daguerreotype photograph, portraiture become more affordable and accessible. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Calling Edgar Allen Poe.
