The 78th Volume of Hi-Fructose is here.
The New
Contemporary
Art Magazine
Hi-Fructose is a quarterly print art magazine founded by artists Attaboy and Annie Owens in 2005. Hi-Fructose focuses squarely on the art which transcends genre and trend, assuring readers thorough coverage and content that is informative and original. Hi-Fructose showcases an amalgamation of new contemporary, emerging as well distinguished artists, with a spotlight on awe inspiring spectacles from round the world.
Animals are the primary subjects of Femke Hiemstra’s works, with dogs and cats slated as her favorites and thus reoccurring most often. In art, like literature, animals can challenge perceptions of reality exhibiting an uncanny resemblance to the behaviors of their human counterparts. Hiemstra explains, “I find animals with all their different shapes and forms very interesting and I’m keen to learn about their behavior. In this behavior, I see parallels to the lives of humans—and vice versa—and that triggers my imagination.”
Hiemstra matriculated from art school with a focus on illustration, and subsequently held a career as an award-winning illustrator for several years before choosing to focus solely on her art. For Hiemstra, the biggest difference between her works on paper and her paintings is that drawings take more planning as she prefers to work with the darkest tones of graphite,which makes erasing more than once nearly impossible.

Good Morning. Don’t worry, the horrifyingly childlike work of Taylor Anton White isn’t here to comfort you.

We’ve added a new back issue bundle which includes 6 hard to find issues (over 700 pages of Hi-Fructose) and thanks to our firiends at Last Gasp, a bonus item, plus we cover the damn shipping. Will you get the Gary Baseman, Ferris Plock or Travis Lampe kiss cut sticker sheets? Or perhaps a set of velvet prints by Skinner, Junko Mizuno and Martin Ontiveros? Or an accordion sticker book or a Snow Yak Mask by Mark Ryden? Donno, as they are randomly pre packed. Supplies are limited.
Perhaps Sarah Duyer’s ceramic sculpture Tis just a curio or a butter slicer or… perhaps it’s the coziest warning for a very select subset of out of touch people?
