Artistic statement:
The saying goes that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. It occurs in places you least expect. Revealing its art in the human body, but also cruelly absent in the presence of deformations and scars. Ashkan Honarvar (1980) depicts an undeniable, unavoidable beauty by accepting the darker sides of human ‘nature’. The body, torn by acts of war, exploited by the sex industry or used as a tool for seeking identity, is the focal point of his work.This constitutes a search for a universal representation of the evil latent in every human, providing an opportunity for reflection. His aesthetic dissection has an intriguing macabre nature, which opens the images to interpretation. Honarvar’s almost empiric exploration of the human condition knows no bounds. Its goal; the indefinable core.
Iranian artist Ashkan Honarvar currently lives and works in The Netherlands

Artist Joe Black uses thousands of tiny plastic toy soldiers or colourful badges to piece his amazing mosaic art together. And if having the patience to do that wasn’t impressive enough, nearly every badge is made by himself and relates to the art work in some way.

In Portraits on 16 diciembre 2011 at 8:19Jack Addis is a young artist who lives and works in Bristol, UK. He just graduated the other year from Bath School of Art and Design but he has already made a name for himself in the artworld. His portraits are broken, manipulated, glitched and then collaged back together to create a conflict of identity. An exciting visual strategy, that also explores our current socio-political landscape.
