The Questionable Softcore

ART REVIEW

by iMaNi

Take a step into the Galería Enrique Guerrero in Mexico City for the solo show of Tony Solis and wonder if the fantasy train came to town. Titled "love is not a victory march" Solis struts his idealistic nude through semi sexual portrayal of twink althletics as art.

Taking his viewers on a quick and dirty detour through the photographic mind, Solis' themed models help set the scene of a love-listic world through fantasy perception. The scene is set with no diversity and an off tone of love. Slowly souring the gaze with its lack of relevance seems to plague this Mexico City with softcore photography porn.  Awaiting artist input. 

We begin to wonder how idealistic imagery can change societal perspectives.

Interview With Contemporary

Artist KAWS

 

 

KAWS went from a skater kid doing graffiti around New York City to illustrating the beloved animated series Doug to creating instantly recognizable pop art that gained visibility the world over. The artist, painter, designer and toymaker details how he linked with Nigo and Pharrell in Japan, collaborated with Jordan and Uniqlo for sold-out capsules, and created motifs that elevated fine art into the cultural zeitgeist.

 

Her photographic fictions are the result of collaboration with friends and acquaintances, in recent years her practice has extended to the integration of textile elements. The main focus of her work is the human connection with the natural through the artificial.


Seeking to create connections from feeling out of place, Daniela has done artist residencies in Iceland, Spain, France, the Rocky Mountains of Canada and the United States, thanks to the repeated support of the National Fund for Culture and the Arts, the support of the Museé du Quai Branly, the Art Museum of Denver and independent spaces such as Cherryhurst House.

 

Photographic Fiction & Daniela Edburg

 

 

Among her most recent group exhibitions are Mi Tierra, Contemporary Artists Explore Place at the Denver Art Museum, Point / Counterpoint: Contemporary Mexican Photography at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego and Uncontainable Portraits at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.

Her work has been acquired for public collections such as the Collection of the Art Museum of the Americas in Washington D.C, the Museum of Latin American Art in California, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and the Astrup Fearnley Museet in Oslo, Norway.

The Distinct Illustrations of Selin Çınar

 

 

Illustrator Selin Çınar crafts unexpected elements tucked inside familiar forms. Creating work under the moniker “Axstone,” the artist is able to move between the worlds of exhibiting and character design. She also implements varying techniques in the pieces, with elements of pointillism, clean linework, and a less controlled approach sometimes appearing in the same piece. Çınar is a member of the illustrator collective Krüw.
