Incantation: The Art of Martin Wittfooth

Human relationships with nature inform Martin Wittfooth's work. His oil paintings feature animals in the starring roles. Humans are absent from the scenes he depicts, but the remnants of their world frequently are not. In “The Aviary,” a cheetah is perched on a cherry tree and joined by a few, scattered birds. They overlook a crumbling, brick wall, catching a glimpse of the city that rises from below. Read the full article from our archives by Liz Ohanesian by clicking above.

Recap: NuArt Street Art Festival Featuring Etam Cru, Dot Dot Dot, Martin Whatson and More

While the collective mindset at some street art festivals seems to be "go big or go home," at NuArt Festival in Stavanger, Norway, the line-up of artists seemed more concerned with creating deliberately-placed works with an underlying political punch. That's not to say that a few mammoth pieces weren't painted. Polish duo Etam Cru (who are featured in our current issue, Hi-Fructose Vol. 32), true to their form, left behind a storybook-like mural that added color to the overcast landscape. The piece pictured a sleeping boy tucked into his bed with a can of spray paint sticking out from under the covers — a young artist in the making.

Martine Johanna Returns With ‘Dark Matter’

With “Dark Matter,” Martine Johanna offers a new collection of stirring acrylic paintings that blend portraiture and abstraction. The show, running through June 23 at KochxBos Gallery in Amsterdam, is an autobiographical exploration of femininity, adolescence, and the place of women in Western culture. Johanna was last featured on HiFructose.com here.

Transmutations: The Art of Daniel Martin Diaz

“I was never interested in art. I never got into it,” says Daniel Martin Diaz on a recent phone call with Hi-Fructose. “I never looked at art books. I really, honestly, didn't even know basic things like surrealism like Dali or Escher existed until I was probably, I think, 18 or 19.” That was around the time when Diaz, the Tucson-based artist known for his precisely detailed illustrations merging seemingly disparate subjects like science and mysticism, stumbled into the art section of a library and came across 1920s surrealism. “I just knew when I saw that it just resonated with me so strongly that I just became obsessed by it.” Read the full article by Liz Ohanesian by clicking above.

Amsterdam Light Festival Returns in Netherlands

Tom Biddulph and Barbara Ryan

The Amsterdam Light Festival has returned, and with it, a startling new set of light-based public works are on display through Jan. 19. “Disturbance lies at the heart of the exhibition of the eighth edition of the Amsterdam Light Festival with its theme 'DISRUPT!'” the event says. “Artists, designers, and architects were challenged to question, test and shake up Amsterdam in alignment with the theme.” Photos by Janus van den Eijnden.

Free Form: The Art and Adventures of Erik Parker

The Peripheral Path: Paintings By Jean-Pierre Roy

Talk with Jean-Pierre Roy for long enough and you begin to get the sense that, with the right amount of imaginative discernment, the boundaries between what many perceive to be high and low art are frequently not boundaries at all, but rather intricate, furtive passageways.

Violently Happy: Hattie Stewart’s Saccharine-Fueled World Is In Your Face & Over The Top.

The realities that Hattie Stewart manifests have a carnival quality—gleaming, trashy fun with a slightly sinister undertone like golden midway tokens that rust and then jingle in your hand like they are laughing at you for believing the gold was real anyway. “Nothing brings me more joy,” Stewart says, “than taking a clean blank page and filling every inch of it with colors and imagined worlds.” Read Clayton Schuster's full article on the artist by clicking above.
