Wang Qingsong

Wang Qingsong's staged photographs are darkly humorous. You might feel the content to be absurd, but in fact it is highly critical towards consumerism and capitalism. The very large prints are of technical high standard.
'take a look at the urban people's life. we dine at mcdonald's, KFC, and pizza hut. we drink cola, starbucks' coffe and lipton tea. we live in roman fantasy, lincoln park, vancouver forest and east provence. we drive benz, BMW and lamborghini. all these western consumer products 'modernize' this originally agricultural country. however such life in high fashion is so ridiculous, contradictory and crazy. the chinese traditions and elite culture fail to have energy and vigor, deserving to be trashed. this is the contemporary china in its massive scale.'
- Wang Qingsong.

Jon McMillan

Fredericksburg (Virginia) based Jon McMillan about his sculptures; "Sculpture provides limitless variations and possibilities, feeding my curiosity and passion for exploration."
A combination of different materials like terra cotta, resin, steel...give birth to an array of strange forms. Surrealistic fossils, weird deep sea life forms, alienated remains... is what comes to mind.

Berlinde De Bruyckere

Unsettling and uncomfortable shapes by Berlinde De Bruyckere. Most of her sculptures are faceless or headless, but beautiful and tender as well.   

Representing Belgium at the 55th Venice Art Biennale with a cast of an uprooted tree: Cripple wood.

Chicara Nagata

I love motorcycles, but Chicara Nagata motorcycles are dreams. Just perfect, bare metal, chains, tubes and old engines to power it all. Art ... that's what it is! This Japanese designer with Da Vinci allures hand build all his creations. Saying; “I do not have an expensive high level machine. I do shave, sheet metal, welding and metalworking using a hand tool. It takes about 5000 to 7000 hours to make one motorcycle.” 

 

 

 

Gideon Kiefer

The intriguing and mysterious works by Belgian artist Gideon Kiefer are filled with Doctors, scientists and nurses. Strange experiments and a dark atmosphere with mankind as a subject of research, drawn on the inside of book covers or ripped-out papers. Gideon Kiefer on his artwork; "There’s not really a general message. At my exhibitions I can see that everyone sees something else in my drawings. And I don’t really want to explain them, it takes away the mystery".
