Magazine > Kate MacDowell | An endangered world rendered in porcelain. Kate MacDowell uses her painstaking porcelain pieces to explore the fraught and increasingly catastrophic relationship between humanity and the rest of the natural world. We asked her about dead animals, baroque aesthetics, and bugs crawling on people's faces. Tell us about your first piece in your porcelain series. The first porcelain piece I made that relates thematically to my current work is Crave. It expresses the longing for union with nature by comparing it to other cravings, such as hunger or the desire to be touched. The plants blossoming out of the arm are associated with food cravings--like the cacao and strawberry plant and vanilla orchid, and with aphrodisiac properties. Crave You have several pieces which reference Bernini's sculpture of Daphne and Apollo.
I actually only consciously reference it in one piece, Daphne, although other baroque sculptures and Renaissance paintings influence other pieces. How does working with porcelain affect the concepts behind your work? Controversial Sculptures by David Cerny. Continuing our article series about the most creative artists in the world this time we present David Cerny from Czech Republic. Wikipedia: “David Černý (born December 15, 1967 in Prague) is a Czech sculptor whose works can be seen in many locations in Prague. His works tend to be controversial. He gained notoriety in 1991 by painting a Soviet tank pink that served as a war memorial in central Prague.
As the Monument to Soviet tank crews was still a national cultural monument at that time, his act of civil disobedience was considered “hooliganism” and he was briefly arrested.” He also has a very bizarre website Well, happy viewing, and of course don’t forget to comment.

Wood Sculptures by New York Sculptor Randall Rosenthal. Cool sculptures by Stephane Halleux. Stephane Halleux was born on July 6th in Chenée (Liège), Belgium. Shortly thereafter–and very often against his will—he was taken off to museums where he was supposed to be awakened to art in all its forms. At the age of 10, while visiting the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the work of sculptor Jean Tinguely suddenly caught his attention. He discovered the magic power of strange play-like structures without any utility purpose. In 1995, during his last high study year at Saint Luc in Liege, Stéphane created the first pieces that look similar to his current works.
Passionately fond of Seventh Art and comic strips, he naturally began a career at an animation film studio in Luxemburg, first as a colorist, and then as a layout artist. Thus began a 7-year period of drawing uninteresting things (according to him) for other people without thse possibility of creating anything else. His first exhibitions were such a success that since 2005 he has devoted all his time to his realizations.
