Spectacular Stick Work by Patrick Dougherty.
Using what many would consider to be ‘green-waste’ or tree clippings, twigs, sticks and reeds (mostly of willow) are the medium for Dougherty’s jaw-dropping sculptures and structures. Whilst staying with my Genius (but you know what the say about the line between genius and insanity ;D) cousin Matty J in the Borderlands Motel of EPA, I was overcome with excitement to find an installation by Patrick Dougherty a mere 5 blocks from Matt’s apartment. I was able to snap a […]

AWESOME / Experimental Documentary Entitled “Leviathan”
“Exploring the space between art film and documentary,” ‘Leviathan’ is a highly innovative survey of life on a ground-fish trawler off the coast of Massachusetts. Originally learning about this project through the New York Times homepage, further investigation only caused greater intrigue. The film is a product of Harvard’s “Sensory Ethnography” department, and is just flat out awe-inspiring. The cinematographic execution is extremely original, and stands as testament to the incredible versatility and vantage-possibilities that the GoPro, and other similar […]

What’s Goin’ On? This week’s World in Pictures.
It’s quite a blantantly obvious statement to make, but: the variety of events that occur on this planet in a given week is mind-blowing. From quitters leaving decadent religious cities, to people surviving in humble mud structures – from the intertwining technicolor smoke trails of air-shows to air-strikes that turn buildings into rubble – the Earth’s happenings are staggering in their complexity and volume. Here’s the latest collection of favorites from the past week from LENS. PONDER PERSPECTIVE. Thanks to […]

Homage to BANKSY.
With Banksy being in the news recently in relation to a piece he did for the London Olympics this past summer being stolen off a wall and put in an Art Auction in Miami, (full story here), a small tribute to some of his great works seemed in order. A true living legend, Banksy’s work is thought provoking and incredibly digestible. BRILLIANT If by chance you haven’t seen “Exit Through The Gift Shop”, be sure to check out the extended […]

Neo-Western Psychedelia by John Lupo Avanti + ‘Dead Man’
The paintings of John Lupo Avanti are incredible blends of psychedelic surrealism & neo-westernism. Containing mischievous spirits and transcendentalism, Avanti’s work is highly developed and ominous. A bit on the folkloric & wicked side of things, many of the the works revolve around the theme of the ‘taming’ / exploitation of the West and Native populations. Very much in line with John Lupo Avanti’s paintings, the movie Dead Man (starring Johnny Depp, originally debuting back in 1996) shares sentiments on […]
