Elif Varol Ergen’s arresting illustrations blend themes of feminism, mysticism, and identity. The Turkish artist uses both traditional and digital means to relay these visions, armed with a robust mix of influences and approaches. She was last featured on HiFructose.com here.
Her work has evolved over the years, but these days, the artist says “illustrates rebel female characters and move away from all kind of definitions and identities of women which has been put by the male dominance. She uses mostly ‘witch and wicca’ metaphors for her rebellion ladies whose behaviours totally against the common thoughts and belief of society.”
The artist has amassed experience as both a practicing artist and an academic. A statement says that “after graduation for her PhD thesis and artistic studies she researched about underground art and contemporary illustrations in Europe and Japan.”
Sue Williams A’Court’s graphite portals into lush environments grace unexpected surfaces, with the artist’s aim to conjure a state of mindfulness rather than any specific terrain. Her work often blends painting, collage, and of course, graphite drawing. Blending both a loose style and hyperdetailed sensibility, the tension in her work brings the viewer to another place, entirely.
