The Disquieting Food Art of Stephen J Shanabrook. The Disquieting Food Art of Stephen J Shanabrook July 7, 2009, 5:31 pm 2 Comments "Evisceration of waited moments," Stephen J Shanabrook. Photo via aeroplastics.net. Stephen J Shanabrook is a New York and Moscow-based artist who uses food both as medium and metaphor. Using commonplace materials and forms generally seen as benign indulgences— sweets, chocolate, and cotton candy — he brings about disturbing new meanings, exploring the intersections of desire, violence, permanence, and death. (See his "Waterboarding" sculptures — chocolate-waterboarded choir boy Christmas statues — that we covered last week.) In the 1990s, Shanabrook, who spent his youth working at a chocolate factory, went to morgues in Russia and the US and made molds from the fatal wounds of anonymous people, cast dark chocolate pieces, placing them into luxury chocolate boxes. "On the road to heaven the highway to hell," Stephen Shanabrook.

JULIA GFR RER | THORAZOS . NET. Remarkable Animals Painted in Ink by George Boorujy. Brooklyn based artist George Boorujy creates impossibly detailed ink paintings of North American birds and other animals, often pouring numerous photographs and visiting zoos where the animals are kept before embarking on a piece. Boorujy challenges the viewer to confront both the animal and their preconceived notions about it. Through their gaze an interaction evolves with the wild that otherwise would have to be sought out or birthed from happenstance. However fleeting our exchanges with the wild are, an impression of their presence marks our memories. There is something mystical at play; a silent exchange that either moves us towards awareness or heightens our fear of the unknown. George’s latest solo show, Blood Memory, opens at P.P.O.W. gallery in New York on March 15. (via the very nice davidsketchbook) Olivia Warnecke // Bird Paintings // 2010.

Kate MacDowell - Portfolio. Tea for Three: Shunga Inspired Art by Jeff Faeber (NSFW) » Rush Blog–MUSIC | FASHION | ART | CULTURE. “As one who has “fallen from grace,” as it were, I have a natural interest in the underdog, the discarded and unwanted. Hence, I often paint on or incorporate cardboard, trash, society’s forgotten, landfill-bound material. I react to what I feel is often an overly sanitised, saccharine façade that is projected on us by mass commercialisation, or groupthink (or religion or politics or whatever.)
There is often beauty in despair. I hope to find hope in “ugliness,” in muted colours. While not dwelling on cynicism, I try to expand the scope of beauty by having it encompass and confront the abuses of “civilised” society, the decadence, the rape of the environment, narrow-mindedness—what is not generally regarded as pretty.” –Jeff Faerber View NSFW images below. For those of us who don’t know, Shunga–according to Wikipedia–is a Japanese term meaning “erotic art.” What that statement is, however, is up to your discretion.

BEAUTIFUL FREAK TATTOO. ARTWORKS. Emily Carroll | Comics. Riusuke Fukahori Paints Three-Dimensional Goldfish Embedded in Layers of Resin.
First: watch the video. Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori paints three-dimensional goldfish using a complex process of poured resin. The fish are painted meticulously, layer by layer, the sandwiched slices revealing slightly more about each creature, similar to the function of a 3D printer. I really enjoy the rich depth of the pieces and the optical illusion aspect, it’s such an odd process that results in something that’s both a painting and sculptural. Wonderful. Yuta Onoda.

Il lee « style/SWOON. Oh the patience… The first time I saw the work of Il Lee was in a Santa Fe gallery at the Gerbert Contemporary. It was so different, truly amazing. HUGE pieces of art done solely with a blue ballpoint pin on canvas. I kept staring at it thinking ‘how many ballpoint pens did he have to use to do that’?
I was fascinated and it stuck with me because it was so unusual. I can’t fathom the time it would take to create a piece of art like this. Thanks to the guest curator Jan Yeung, Il Lee currently has an exhibition at the Crow Museum of Asian Art. Jan has an amazing eye for contemporary art so keep your eyes on the Crow, I’m sure it will continue to have some incredible modern art but don’t miss this one.
