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.”

Oregon based artist Morgan Rosskopf describes herself as a "visual hunter-gatherer". In other words, her surreal, carnal works are mostly driven by her own intuitions. Her illustrations on paper combine hand-drawn elements and collage to create lush clusters of personal imagery: a messy, knotted assemblage of fragments, from the sweet and savory to bodily and grotesque. "Hunting and gathering images is both subject and method," she explains. "I believe that all my images already exist; I just have to find them and rearrange them."

Polish artist Jacek Yerka's paintings invite us into a world where things are not what they seem. Caves turn into gaping dragons' mouths, houses float above the clouds, and gardens become seemingly infinite puzzles of time and space. The artist blurs the boundaries between the biological and the mechanical, creating strange hybrids of animals, architecture, and geological formations. Yerka began his career making band posters in the 1970s and has been exhibiting his work in Poland for decades.
