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.
In a digital world where creative output is commoditized into “content”, it’s only fair that painters like Marta Ruiz Anguera translate screen shots into paintings, creating self-refrencing meta loops of the particular times which we live in.

If we are but a speck in the endless swirling cosmos, here’s hoping when we zoom the f out that we’re all part of something that resembles a Alessandro Keegan painting. @alessandro_keegan
As a world-class institution showcasing one of the most impressive collections of American art spanning five centuries, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art has firmly placed Bentonville, Arkansas on the global cultural map. And, except for a few major holidays, the museum and it’s trails are always free.
Bentonville has a history of reinvention: first as a thriving agricultural hub, then as a premier training ground for the US Olympic Mountain Biking Team, and now as a vibrant cultural destination. Driven by Alice Walton’s philanthropic vision to make exceptional art accessible to all, Crystal Bridges has transformed the city into an American art mecca and a stunning centerpiece of community creativity.
Starting today, Crystal Bridges will offer even more to admire with the opening of a 114,000-square-foot expansion under Safdie Architects’ direction to bring more than 250 new acquisitions to two new art galleries, a new space for temporary exhibitions, and a community learning Hub that features studios and art making spaces for all ages..

After visiting the Chinese village where generations of his family had lived, sculptor Warren King decided on an ambitious, new body of work: One individual at a time, he would recreate the residents of his grandparents’ community using just cardboard and glue. The life-sized figures help the artist connect with his cultural and ancestral heritages, each its own emotion and moment in time. The backs of the figures are exposed, allowing the viewer to see their interworkings and hinting at the unfinished nature of history.

Let’s take a visit to the studio of painter Miquel Escobar.
Human artifacts and animals fill the subdued oil paintings of Miguel Escobar. And though many works appear without actual people, the artist is often exploring humanity through these desolate, beast-filled scenes.
“In my paintings I try to make images with concentration of reality but not the reality itself, with magic, memory, beauty and representing the human condition through symbolic elements and letting the viewer complete his own history by his experiences knowledge of art and history,” the artist says.- Andy Smith for Hi-Fructose
