Nie explains her ongoing project in a statement: “Post Feels is the exploratory study of human emotions,” it says. “HNin Nie uses paint as her medium to portray emotions through Negative Nancy. HNin is inspired by the people around her that discover self-love by encouraging vulnerability. Both HNin and Nancy channel their negativity into something greater.”

The artist also maintains separate practices in photography and filmmaking. See more of the artist’s work in the “Post Feels” series below.

French pair Ella & Pitr once again tackle a topical social issue in their latest major mural. At more than 150 feet high, “Le Naufrage de Bienvenu (The Sinking of Welcome)” tells of a refugee seeking passage between the mountains on either side of Piney's dam in the Valley of the Gier in Loire. Ella & Pitr were last featured on HiFructose.com when they created the world's largest mural.
LA-based artist John Guy Petruzzi creates detailed watercolor paintings filled with illustrations of the natural world. While his figurative depictions of various bird and plant species are rendered with the precision of scientific drawings, the milieus these characters find themselves in morph into abstract shapes that reveal the cloudy, liquid characteristics of his chosen medium. Petruzzi works on a polypropylene synthetic paper to amplify his work's preoccupation with environmental issues. Lately, he has created entirely abstract works filled with dripping pigments. "My latest series, 'SPILLSTONES,' exploits the materiality of poured pigment to recall ongoing cycles of resource extraction," said the artist.
Ian Cumberland’s surreal, solitary scenes have evolved and progressed into even stranger territory, with his figures disappearing into reflective holes and taking part in bleak internalization. The Irish painter uses oils primarily, but in recent works, integrates materials like carpeting and mirrors. Cumberland was last featured on HiFructose.com here.
Figures are subsumed in textured paint that drifts over the horizon like a thick fog in Federico Infante's mysterious configurations of oils on canvas. Infante begins by working with the background, layering different pigments in an intuitive process that yields unique hues of taupe and dusky blue. But despite their abstract nature, Infante's paintings reveal a narrative quality within his careful selection of figurative details.
