Something about the repetitive regimental nature of the Art Deco period seems to be really pulling me into it at the moment. It's been a while since I've had time to practice working in the organic nature that I enjoy, but I would love to start making time for it again - and it wouldn't surprise me if these kinds of influences became suddenly apparent within whatever I might produce.

in the studio, killing my hands while working on some new, 2 handed, process/rule-based works- exploring the notion of the three second present and transition from moment to memory

I need to revisit this on a much larger scale, over a longer timeline

FEATURED ARTIST: Vera Kox

Vera Kox (b. 1984, Frankfurt/Main) explores material uncertainty and the limits of form through the creation of richly textured sculptures that carefully play with density, fluidity, and weight. Working experimentally, Kox’s approach serendipitously blends highly controlled industrial production methods with makeshift elements and gestures from daily life. The illusion of shifting physical states subtly disrupts the viewer’s experience with the work, emphasizing instability and promoting a phenomenological look at matter.

Vera Kox received her MFA Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London in 2010 and has recently exhibited at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin (2014), Salon Dahlmann, Berlin (2014), Green Is Gold, Copenhagen (2014), Minibar, Stockholm (2013), Galleri Opdahl, Stavanger (2013), Museum of Art, Luxembourg (2013), La Scattola Gallery, London (2012), Casino Forum of Contemporary Art, Luxembourg (2012), Van Horbourg, Basel (2011). Forthcoming exhibitions include Vera Kox / Manor Grunewald at Duve Berlin, Berlin, opening January 16th. Kox will be an artist in residence at Seoul Art Space Geumcheon in 2015. The artist lives and works in Berlin and Luxembourg.

[daniel-jay-art]

Doing a lot of experimental work that's centred around consumerism and sexualisation within advertising. By creating cutouts from advertisements I take away their readability - leaving only what the eye can make out, which is often a scantily clad model. I am choosing to focus on the sexualisation of men due to the fact that this is what has always affected me most. Much like the way seeing stick thin models has a way of affecting women of all ages, making them feel like they're not good enough, forever being bombarded by images of God like Adonis' in advertising campaigns has affected me more than I ever thought possible.

Working on some new ideas and returning a little to the minimalist approach to cutouts and found materials. Thinking about working on something commenting on our consumerist society. (focussing on using print adverts, etc.)
