It was an old Japanese scroll about farting. No, you didn’t misread that last sentence. The whole scroll, which is called He-Gassen (“The Fart Battle”) is just about people farting. Farting at other people, farting at cats, farting off of horses, farting into bags; just farting everywhere. Why? I found some relevant articles on my old university’s academic databases, but the only way I could obtain them would be to request them printed out and go pick them up. I can only imagine what it would be like if I went back to school to pick up my fart literature: “Hi, how can we help you?” “I’m here to pick up some articles I put on hold.” “Sure, what are they about?” “Well, they’re, um, about farting.” I did find out enough to know that this isn’t the only farting scroll out there in existence – in fact, in the 90s, a collection of fart scrolls sold for $1,500 at the famous Christie’s auction house.
Andy Denzler's paintings. At first, they look like corrupt high resolution photographs, damaged by a bad Internet connection.
Then you find out that the author, Andy Denzler, is an expressionist painter who only works with canvas, oil and acrylic. For over 10 years, Andy's style had been abstract, with vague references to nature. Then, the shades of cinema and photo film appeared on his palette of colours. Denzler thus tried to adapt his abstract vocabulary to a figurative, wild and stratified language. We can notice this from his series, "American Paintings" (2005), where he started to fish views out of the imaginary of popular culture and find new contexts for them in distorted and ambiguous landscapes.
Even though the origin of the photographic and film subjects in many of his paintings is explicit, Denzler immortalises them in the gesture of vision, as though the film had remained exposed for too long during a panoramic film shot.

Yuki Matsueda. ‘While most designers are busying adding more and more elements into their artworks, Japan-based Yuki Matsueda has, however, managed to let some elements escape from his art pieces.
The result seems quite amazing… A vivid 3D image is successfully created and all the elements are believed to be more shocking than those stay still on paper.’ Them Birds.
