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.”

Andi Soto, a Panama-based artist, uses ink, graphite, prismacolor pencils, gel pens, and other materials to create her intricate figures, often bare and seemingly vulnerable. Soto often removes flesh and other elements while adorning her female characters with head-dressings. Yet, the parts that remain are rendered in absorbing and detailed linework.
