Fernando Botero - "An artist is attracted to certain kinds of form without knowing why. You adopt a position intuitively; only later do you attempt to rationalize or even justify it."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fernando Botero (b. 1932) Los ricos 1967 Oil on Canvas 193 x 158.8 cm (at Christie's) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2drlGvIHYH/?igshid=q2z0msd8xknd

Loribelle Spirovski - "With an aim of challenging audiences’ perceptions, in such an image-saturated and over-stimulated society, I juxtapose colour and subject-matter to entice and provoke, stimulate thought and reflection. In doing so, I invite audiences to consider and reconsider what they see, and to exercise mindfulness in their consumption of images."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Loribelle Spirovski Homme No. 151 2019 Oil on Canvas 61 × 50.8 cm (at Arcadia Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2cfUSyoBjh/?igshid=zngdliv8lbzw

Loribelle Spirovski - "As a child of immigrants and an immigrant myself, my fixation on space is a particularly meaningful one. I am constantly trying to find myself within the space of a canvas, even if it is through the portrait of another, or the portrait of someone that exists only in my imagination. These indirect self-portraits are distillations of my identity as a young woman, with all of my fixations, obsessions and anxieties. Over the past few years, I have found that I have become more and more drawn to the tension of a space – the need to fill it, the need to understand its strange sentience."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Loribelle Spirovski Homme 97 2018 Oil on linen 30.5 x 40.5cm (at Arcadia Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2cMZUKoKVb/?igshid=1ht1qxmr58lsg

Brooklyn-based painter Grace Weaver portrays playful scenes of stimulus-saturated modern life in a graphic style. Her subjects—often depicted at leisure and in bright shades of orange, green, and purple—have included a girl checking her cellphone at the beach, another jogging in flipflops at the park, and a couple lounging in bed holding a laptop and a hand mirror. Presenting these vignettes in a distinctive aesthetic, Weaver flattens and elongates her figures, giving them an almost cartoon-like appearance. The young painter had two breakout shows in 2015 and 2016—“Teenage Dream” at @thierrygoldberg Gallery and “Skinny Latte” at @soycapitangallery —which were aptly titled with references to popular culture.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Grace Weaver winning some/losing some 2015 oil on linen 31 by 28 inches.

In this installation the association of two apparently conflicting conditions creates an almost paradoxical situation. The artificial element represented by oil barrels is compared to a natural element symbolized by the deer. The black-gray color of the barrels, which spreads over the face of the animal, suggests an “aggression” of the artificial on the natural: the environmental pollution caused by mankind. At a second sight, one sees the vivid and immaculate landscape, scaled down in size on the back of the deer. It acts as a warning for the preservation of the most valuable thing we have: our environment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Willy Verginer Lindenwood acryl color, iron, wood sculpture 165x118x60cm https://www.instagram.com/p/B2SMIAOoBAm/?igshid=1royg92gr3tel

Willy Verginer is an Italian sculptor, living and working in Val Gardena. Verginer creates hyperrealist wood sculptures, drawing inspiration from the arresting nature surrounding him and the fragility of our environment. The work engages with ecological and environmental issues we are faced with in our contemporary world. His work often explores the ambiguous relations between Man and Nature, and more importantly our responsibility as humans to respect, protect and preserve the natural world. Verginer has been enticing collectors around the globe for decades with his striking life-sized sculptures; his pieces are often characterized by a systematic use of acrylic paint that is applied in opaque linear bands. Subsequently, Verginer’s sculptures oscillate between realism and surrealism, forcing the viewer to contemplate the underlying message while also insinuating a sense of playfulness and irony.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Willy Verginer The Boy and the See Lindenwood and acrylic 76" x 27" x 20" (at Galerie LeRoyer) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2RlWv1IXhn/?igshid=aqkdugcd2mb7
