“Unstable.”
“Using a video of myself as a reference, I created this frame by frame animation using photoshop and after effects. I just love to morph objects into different shapes.”
illustrator Josh Ellingson took an odd turn in his art practice a few years ago when his love of old tvs and practical effects (sound and visual) collided. His takes on the “Pepper’s Ghost” technique, formally employed by magicians and Disney Imagineers, led to a series of ever evolving sculptures. Look for his work in the latest Depeche Mode concert video and see his latest at the Too Mang Skulls show in person at @brassworksgallery in Portland this weekend.

As humans we can’t help but create a narrative when two seemingly different works of art are combined into one with equal size/weight. Alex Achaval forces such conclusions on our mush minds with his oil paintings. Is the figure nostalgically reminiscing fondly about open spaces? Is the person escaping to a “happy place” or mentally colliding with a turbulent memory? Find out for yourself this weekend at the artist’s solo showing @thinkspace_art

We should address what’s in the room, shan’t we?

It’s hard to not to be inspired by mixed media artist Alina Kritarova

For three decades, Harriet Mena Hill has been a resident of South East London. This area is known in the art world for its schools, such as the esteemed Camberwell College of Arts. But Hill and others who lived there for some time remember it as a historically working-class and, at times, impoverished area of the city. That impoverishment is what prompted the construction of one of Europe’s biggest social housing projects: the Aylesbury Estate, begun in 1963 and completed in 1977. In 2018, Hill’s work in arts education brought her to the site, and it led to a major shift in her broader artistic practice.
“The Estate had a notorious reputation—for drugs, violence, threats and intimidation,” Hill says. “My experience working there was a complete contrast to public perception. I encountered a group of highly engaged, positive and friendly young people eager to participate and who were very strong in helping each other. As an artist, I felt compelled to address the maligned reputation which had adversely affected the community for years, a portrait created and perpetuated through the media who had seemingly never bothered to discover the 360-degree truth about life on the estate.”
