It’s finally here. My tribute to coffee in Twin Peaks. I started re-watching the show earlier this year, looking out coffee onscreen and listening for any mention of it. Turns out, coffee is the crux of the show. For all we know, Agent Dale Cooper derives his endless pep and zest for life from the sweet, sweet caffeine, without which, he might never have solved the mystery of Laura Palmer. Wait…did he actually solve what happened? Does anybody understand what really happened at the end of Twin Peaks? I’m on my fourth re-watch now, and I still don’t know what went down. Good thing I’m just compiling quips and quotes about coffee and not breaking down and analyzing Lynchian landscapes. This time.

 Enjoy “A Damn Good Coffee Tribute”!

Aporie: Photography and Painting Hybrids by Giovanni Castell

Nature ablaze with colour, and exalted, almost romantic, landscapes, fantastical scenes and mysterious settings, rooms shrouded in darkness and stark interiors flooded with light – Giovanni Castell’s works of art overpower us.

Advanced photo- and computer technologies have given rise to a wide spectrum of possible hybrids based on both photography and painting, and such images no longer try to provide an accurate depiction of what is there, but rely on the interpretation of a reality conveyed through the medium of digital technology or else on complete invention. Castell is an explorer and visionary in the use of these new possibilities. He creates paintings both cheerful as well as melancholy, overwhelming as well as touching, romantic, dreamy places of longing, mysterious, surreal urban landscapes, beautiful, impressionistic nature scenes. And he provides a totally personal reply to the question as to what painting – even more than photography – can mean today.

Painting-Like Surreal Photographs by Giovanni Castell

[culturenlifestyle]

Abstract Skyscapes by Brooklyn Whelan

Australian artist Brooklyn Whelan  has become one of Australian’s leading/finest emerging contemporary artists. Infinitely inspired by the majestic beauty of the sky and its ephemeral and transient nature, Wheelman’s brushstroke expresses the vast beauty’s ambiguity. As opposed to taking a realist of impressionistic approach in painting the almighty subject, his abstract technique creates a surreal and youthful sensibility. With cotton-candy colored paint, Whelan beautifully depicts the fluffiness and moodiness of his most beloved subject.
