Fall 2009 Editorial Preview

When I paint I like to do so on printed materials; it is a way to unite my passion for topics such as anatomy and mechanics, and my hobby for collecting posters, maps, atlases, and geography with my work.

Cinematic Snapshots

Vanitas is the newest body of photographic and video-based works by celebrated Canadian husband-wife collaborative team Nicholas and Sheila Pye. In Vanitas, the Pyes play with themes present in the art historical genre of still life painting to examine their own relationship.

With You I Can Live

While Art Basel Miami, the most important contemporary art fair in the country has been raking in the press as well as the big bucks, the adjacent city of Fort Lauderdale, with much less fanfare, has been silently growing by leaps and bounds.

Hedonistic Seduction

In my paintings, I attempt to reflect my sense of the times we are living in, both how richly interesting they are and how difficult it is for most of us to navigate their uncharted waters.

Girl, Recomposed

In the series of works entitled I Recompose Myself I represent a world of automatons composed by pieces that can be taken apart and easily reassembled—“terminator” mutants with the most curious and surprised human expressions.

Reflective Tendency

I am interested in a way of looking at the world, not in an idea. I am not looking for something; rather, I find things. I am looking for situations where my innermost is mirrored by the outer world.

Capturing Penis Envy

My works play with questioning the reality of the world around us. What things are hiding from us? What things are blocking our view? It is a game of shifting absence and presence that makes certainties fragile.

Kinshasa and the Cities

I am a Besi Bulenge, part of the Bambunda ethnic group. The Besi Bulenge are farming people who are very gentle and very superstitious.
