Black Iris by Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986), 1926, oil on canvas

“Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small - we haven’t time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time. If I could paint the flower exactly as I see it no one would see what I see because I would paint it small like the flower is small. So I said to myself - I’ll paint what I see - what the flower is to me, but I’ll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking time to look at it - I will make even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers.”

- Georgia O’Keeffe

What might Mars look like today if it had surface water? 

The relatively flat northern hemisphere is below average elevation, so it would likely become one giant ocean, while the crater-ridden southern hemisphere would remain high and dry. That difference between hemispheres is rather bizarre, and we don’t know why it’s like that. The southern half is probably much older, judging by features like the number of craters, and judging by increased volcanic activity in the north.

Maybe some day Mars will have oceans again, but until then - if you want to move to Mars, you’d better BYOW.

If Mars had water, the northern hemisphere would be one huge ocean!

Most of us flinch when we see a bad bruise. Finland born, Helsinki based artist Riikka Hyvönen sees an inspiring myriad of colors that tell a story. Her art combines hyperrealism painting with sculptural elements, pop and kitsch styles, taking the pain that we have all experienced at some point and making it strangely alluring. She calls bruises “kisses”, specifically worn by roller derby girls, of which she collects photographs and then reinterprets into large-scale artworks.

Brooklyn based sculptor Dustin Yellin (previously covered here) has earned acclaim for his monumental figures made of collaged materials inside of glass panels. The artist calls them “paintings-sculptures” for his combined use of drawings, paintings, magazine clippings, and three-dimensional works, weighing 12 tons at their largest. Inspired by 19th century taxonomic art, Yellin’s work focuses on otherworldly mutations of living things, especially plants and insects. His recently completed “Psychogeographies” is now on permanent display at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, DC.
