Emily Blythe Jones Crafts Mixed-Media, Multi-Dimensional Portraits

Emily Blythe Jones combines painting and sculpture in a way that feels both universally nostalgic and intimate. The Los Angeles-based artist crafts portraits, with 2D and 3D peeks into the past “inspired by an inherited family archive of photographs, oral histories and other ephemera from her Midwestern background.”

Tamara Kostianovsky Turns Textiles Into Carcasses

Tamara Kostianovsky, an Israel-born, Argentina-raised artist, uses pieces of clothing—including her own—to construct meat carcasses that recreated muscle, bone, and cartilage. Her "Actus Reus" series places these gruesome, yet engrossing creations on meat hooks. While the soft nature of the material may not recall our insides, Kostianovsky’s reproductions still unsettle in their faithfulness to butchered bodies. Her "Still Lives" series takes a similar approach, yet maintains part of the emulated exterior of animal bodies (along with grander presentation).

Jan Fabre’s Jarring Marble Sculptures of Human Brains

Do we feel with our brain and think with our heart? This is a question that Belgian multidisciplinary artist Jan Fabre has continually explored in recent sculptures. Fabre is perhaps best known for his "Bic-Art" series, after he famously locked himself inside of a white cube for three days and covered it with blue pen drawings. However, it is his massive sculptures of brains made of Carrara marble that are his most personal. He relates the human brain to the idea of a post-mortem phase of life, after experiencing a "milky tunnel" of white while in a coma. Those who come upon the series may encounter a jarring combination of horror and amusement.

Claude-Olivier Guay’s Wire Sculptures Transform Between Humans, Animals

Armed with pliers and wire, Claude-Olivier Guay creates transforming sculptures that mimic organic matter and various creatures. The artist, living and working in Quebec City, uses video to show how his creations can evolve. In these pieces, winged insects and birds can emerge from skulls and our bodies can transform into wild, woodland animals.
