Happy Wednesday! I’m heading to Stockholm and Tel Aviv next week. In addition to seeing family and exploring new neighborhoods, I’ll be meeting with designers and would love to expand my list. If you know of anyone amazing, please let me know (and put me in touch). Thank you so much!

Tuesday's Gallery Picks




gallereypicks_patternpulp59

This week’s artists look at changing landscapes and the nature of transformation.

*            *            *

1. Clint Jukkala’s paintings suggest that seeing and believing are subjective acts without absolutes at BravinLee
2. The work presented in this show—a multidisciplinary approach to painting that combines photography and digital technology—is a culmination of Ricardo Mazal’s near decade-long exploration into themes of life, death, transformation and regeneration at Sundaram Tagore Gallery
3. Perdido Bay in lower Alabama is a constant source of inspiration for Don Estes. The combination of water and sky serve as the foundation of his latest series of paintings at David Lusk Gallery
4. Using l a turn of the 20th century photo portfolio book bought at a flea market on Berlin’s Unter Den Linden as source material,  Will Murray continues his experiments in traditional photographic methods and their eternally renewed relationship to painting at p|m gallery
5. Unregistered City provides insight into the artist’s sociopolitical perspective. In this series, Jiang Pengyi utilizes digital manipulation to place miniature skyscrapers in deconstructed landscapes at Klein Sun Gallery
6. In this body of work, Wafaa Bilal offers meditative and ephemeral moments which address erasure and violence in the aftermath of war at Driscoll Babcock

The Topography of Tears




topography of tears2

Have you seen this study? It’s absolutely fascinating. Our tears have personalities that mirror our moods. A simple concept that seems so obvious. Tears from happiness, sadness, athletic release and even onions are all different.

During a period of personal change, Rose-Lynn Fisher started examining her tears under a light microscope and was shocked by the different patterns. To read more, visit her site, you’ll find 100 unique topographic formations.

Carriages & Contemporary Art




bugaboo_artstyles_patternpulpCheck out the coolest carriage collaboration I’ve seen in a while. Bugaboo and the estate of Andy Warhol have teamed up to create a bold new collection for design savvy moms and moms-to-be. The Banana carriage pays tribute to music and punk culture, showcasing The Velvet Underground’s iconic first album cover from 1966.

The Happy Bug Collection is a bit tamer and pulls from Warhol’s famous art collection. The pieces are very cool and a refreshing departure from the solid color designs we’re used to seeing. I’d love to see a few more pattern collaborations down the road. What do you think?
