Illustrations by Lauren Marx

Lauren Marx born 1991 is a St. Louis based artist and illustrator who is a graduate from Webster University.

Animals always have been, and always will be, my passion. They have been the subjects of my drawings ever since I was a child.

I have developed a symbolic cosmology where mammals represent nebulae, birds are the stars formed within the nebulae, and insects are the elements (or “dust”) created from exploding stars. My hope is that this symbolic representation allows the viewer to see these phenomena as a complete picture of an interacting Universe. Using these animals and insects, I am going to make my own “creation” myth of the Cosmos to parody current and past creation myths which are strongly reliant upon animals, to show how humans attempt to understand the epic intricacy of the Universe.

Fulati Tayierjiang aka Polat Tayir is an artist born in 1977 in China. Currently living and working in Paris, France. His work explores the idea of the integration of an individual in the society and looks for a relation between him and things, between its body and the landscapes. His approach associates painting and photography: originally a simple paint on cliché, the artist recovers the hand of paint, on the spot; a performance which he immortalizes in an instant by a photography via.

“My people were the first to live in the mountains. Before the orcs came down from the North. The Defiler killed most of my family. But some he enslaved. Not for work, you understand, but for sport. Caging skin-changers and torturing them seemed to amuse him.”

Mystical  Surreal Worlds Created by Digital Artist Amandine van Ray

Artist Amandine van Ray creates eerie, surreal compositions through powerfully expressive narratives. Each one of her ghostly figures floats unnaturally through the air in a journey where darkness and isolation seem to be the dominating forces that drive each visual story.

Through impressive editing techniques, the Estonia-based artist produces ghostly figures that haunt the space in what seems like a completely different universe. Her many delicate figures are surrounded by foggy horizons that reach beyond a realistic realm and invite viewers to venture into the artist’s imagination.

Van Ray blends pieces of photographs together to create remarkable realities. Below her digital manipulations,on her website, she links out to all of the original photos so viewers can see the various elements that combine to form the final compositions. Via Mymodernmet
