The Recent Illustrations of Elif Varol Ergen

In the recent illustrations of Elif Varol Ergen, the artist dives further into the mystical with her feminine heroes and creatures, her own myths and contemporary lessons emerging. Since she was last featured on HiFructose.com (here), she released her first print publication, “A Sequence of Witches,” through Von Zos. The artist was also featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 19.

“In her works, impenitent women, girls, witches, nuns, prostitutes who rejected the adjectives given to women by the governments are told,” a statement says. “She depicts and redefines the dark side of the brave women who like repeating the same mistakes again and again.”

Ben Sack’s Large-Scale Drawings of Sprawling Mega-Cities

Ben Sack's drawings posit his viewers above sprawling megalopolises. As we gaze down, thousands of buildings appear to go on for miles: Sack painstakingly renders each detail with pen and ink. Judging by the time lapse videos he posts of his pieces, he seems to draw them freestyle without much pre-planning. The process video of his recent piece, Chronoglyph (pictured above), reveals Sack filling in loosely sketched circles with elaborate line work. With each drawing standing close to human height, Sack's work invites viewers to get lost in the many nooks and crannies of his fantasy cities.

Yeom Jihee Expresses Hysteria in Surrealistic Mixed Media Drawings

If you asked Korean artist Yeom Jihee to describe her art in one word, it would be "hysteria". Her monochromatic mixed media drawings feature a disorderly assemblage of figures and impossible objects, set in environments where the physical plane extends into a blank space of nothingness. Jihee uses these explorations of infinity, reflection, symmetry, and perspective to express her feelings of emotional conflict, or in her words, "a loss of self-control due to overwhelming fear."
