Art Deep Dive: Ines J.
Words cannot truly express how I feel about this artist! but i will try.
I discovered Ines J. on instagram where they go by the handle @a.creature (ive linked her direct instagram to this @ so it will not take you to a tumblr account of theirs, not sure if they have one but i will check and edit this after typing everything up if so!).
From what i've gathered, Ines is a very multifaceted artist that incorporates their work into a variety of mediums and trinkets. Im going to highlight some of the recent works of theirs that I'm absolutely obsessed with. to be honest, they're all fantastic though so i would definitely recommend checking their page out and getting lost in a surrealist paradise of wonky doodles.
my thoughts on the pieces are going to be in bullet form so bear with me.
bodies, demons, faces, morphed creatures, morphed selves
stickers, commercial, industrialized, contrasting organic lines
organic shapes resembling body parts, intestines
bright color unnatural to regular body tones, for emphasis? (or personal taste which is what id do for color choice)
the beautiful inclusions of black imagery, woman on top left is my favorite she looks so haunted and her hair reminds me of myself on a rough morning
"on & on" speaks to works theme of chaos and continuing on despite it, like me during those said mornings
unraveling in a sense
god! beautiful color choices just IMMACULATE
THE FACE ON THE LEFT? THE CONTRAST OF THE BLUE WITH THE ORange??? Ines!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great job
different features, organic material
text adds to juxtaposition of natural vs. unnatural which is a common theme
Wednesdays do feel yellow. sometimes being human is about being alive to hear/see observations like this
i am guilty of throwing checker patterns in lots of spots on my art, love the teal checker pantsuit here it fuels my soul
red, anger, angst, sex, sexuality
large dominant figure is not happy, and contrasts to the abundance of color around, could signify a void or lack of emotion, creativity, maybe even happiness
this drawing reminds me of how it feels to scroll through instagram on a bad mental health day while it seems like everyone else is living their best lives while i occasionally rot
reminds me of something similar i said to the man i currently am infatuated with, minus the airplane part
"oh what can you do!" this is how i feel about him lol. the black and lime green image of the two people also reminds me of him
i wonder if this piece is based on a lover... probably
tears, unfinished boxes, distance that is most likely unwanted, lack of memory
when those things fade we will do our best to capture things creatively like this in art as a shrine for the emotions we feel and have felt but ultimately have to let go of
drawings like this break my mf heart (cause they remind me of when i was mf heartbroken lol)
and ykno what yes to the green head on top right corner, everyone has their own interpretation but that makes me think ya love can actually make you lovesick and that is how id mentally draw myself with the green worm sliming out and all bc sometimes thats how it feels out here
more tears i see:(
one of my favorites that i've seen so far honestly?
this image reminds me of myself and im sure a lot of women feel the same
colorful blobs at the top, bubbles of experiences, memories that have passed, things that make you who you are, and the shapes get more specific and thought out in terms of painted construction as you near the woman (red star, blue circle, black teardrop, etc).
delicate nature of the wispy but sharp surroundings behind her, like a girly, cosmic barbed wire (luv it)
pink and overall colors mentioned before contrasts with the deep blue and black used to illustrate her, somber colors and face expression, head down
the vibrant red flower seems to be the focal point, most vivid spot in terms of color
to me symbolizes a feminine rage because it is so big, red and bright that it is something which naturally demands to be seen
her demeanor is the exact opposite, like a woman in society trying not to seem out of line even though she has every right to be upset
cultivating the flower, knowing when to let certain emotions bloom?
possibly being tired from not being able to let certain emotions bloom
okay thats all for tonight everybody. i know ive been saying that i'd do this for a while but adult life can get so hectic. Also i wanted to wait till i found someone i really enjoyed so i wouldnt get writers block halfway through this blog post. here's to ines j. for being a super dope artist!
