Milan-based artist and sculptor Daniele Papuli (born 1971) creates intricate installations entirely made from paper.
Sometimes the shapes become paper monoliths faceted in many light lamellae where the different layers are like veins and the chromatic variations of the surface, yellowing as paper does in the sun, follow the metamorphosis by which the sheet traces back to wood, to the tree, to its primary mother-matter
The oil paintings of Joshua Flint look
like depictions of memories when one tries too hard to access the faded
thoughts—worn corners, blurred faces, and transposed scenes that don’t
quite make sense. Each work has a familiar element that seems to be cast
in a dark and foreboding haze like Sandcastles, a dark
painting that disguises whether the included children are building or
destroying the miniature city that lies before them.“There is a dynamic interplay between experience and interpretation,”
says Flint about his work. “What is remembered isn’t necessarily
descriptive of the actual event. Once the experience has passed through
our emotional filter we assign meaning to it, changing the actualities.
My paintings explore that place in-between a direct translation and the
abstract of emotion.”
Flint has a current exhibition titled “The World Between” at Sumter County Gallery of Art
in Sumter, South Carolina which continues until January 8, 2016. You
can see more of his oil paintings and in-process sketches on his
Instagram here.
