Santiago Ydanez - Paintings

Posted | Views: 34,607

Santiago

Ydanez

Santiago Ydáñez‘s work represents another extension of the poetics on the body that have been so influentual over the past years in the international scene. Nonetheless, in his case it is around painting - as it is in other different cases from Luc Tuysmans to Marlene Dumas - that different questions, that seem to interest critics and artists, are formulated about identity or human nature. The fact that a painted portrait is an instrument of choice - and we are purposedly calling it instrument rather than theme - has made it so that he be associated with, above all a tradition that includes Edward Munch and Francis Bacon, rather than the poetics that we are referring to now. Because of this he has been classified as, I think superficially, Expressionist or Neoexpressionist, based solely on the appearance of his work. What is worse is that a careful analysis of appearance, in truth, leads to opposed conclusions.

Kevin Francis Gray

Posted | Views: 24,633

Constructed out of cast resin and glass crystals, these works merge classical forms with a gritty, urban aesthetic. Figures cloaked in modern-day streetwear are given a meditative, somber quality by the smooth, reflective nature of the material. The luster of the works‘ surface captivates the eye as the gaze becomes transfixed on the subtle contours of each shape. Unique to this particular show, Gray has completed his first life size marble sculpture. Rich in opposition, these sculptures project a sense of nobility and admiration for an often marginalized and consciously melancholic inner-city youth subculture.

Is a London based artist. I can't help but notice that the sculpture below reminds me of Cobra Commader from G.I. Joe. lol



Window Treatments

Posted | Views: 5,089

A friend recently asked me what her windows are missing.  Roman Shades!!!  Keeping with the nautical look of the area rug (which is amazing!) and the navy blue and stripe pillows, I thought white roman shades with a navy blue border would keep with the theme.  If light is an issue, then keep them drawn at peak sun exposure times or go for a see through sheer option (to the right).  Because the window trim is painted white and looks like it's in good condition, I picked an inside mount.  Also it is ideal to have an inside mount if the shutters also have an inside mount.  The then share the same line keeping the look crisp and clean.     

Flat Roman Shade in White Cotton with Navy Border. Inside Mount

Shade Store: Around $300 ea for a 24"x36" window.  Pricing varies on window size and options. 

Flat Roman Shade in White Sheer Linen.  Inside Mount

Shade Store: Around $200 ea for a 24"x36" window. Pricing varies on Window size and options. 



Nursery Help

Posted | Views: 2,590

A busy mom asked for my help on picking an affordable rug for her baby girl's nursery. The rug needs to be cute enough for a nursery but sophisticated enough to be able to grow with the adorable little girl.  I also added some items to tie the room together. This is what I came up with.  The good thing about Restoration Hardware and Shades of Light is you can purchase rug swatches to see if you like the color before you commit to the actual purchase.  

Senegalese Storage Baskets in Pink

Serena & Lily: $290 for a set of 3

Shadow Memory Board

Restoration Hardware Baby: $79

Adler Pendant in Silver Sage

Restoration Hardware Baby: $89

Pondicherry Headboard for Twin Bed

White Canvas Fabric with Sprout Twill Piping

Serena & Lily: $1,250

Striped Chenille Braided Rug in Green (8x10)

Shades of Light: $788

Soho Dhurri Rug in Green (8x11)

Shades of Light: $648

Shadowstripe Rug in Sivler Sage (8x10)

Restoration Hardware Baby: $479.99 (sale)

I would treat the slope of the ceiling the same as the walls and paint it the green wall color.  It will help to tie the room together. 



Lingerie Nylon Old School

Oh, ah Golly Gee - only Nylon Tricot makes lingerie so sigh, so soft, so melody. It's supple, smooth and terribly shred about little care and long, long, wear. Oh, never a fabric with the spriteness, delightness and everlovin' rightness to make you feel so never before...'til Traditional Tricot of Du PONT NYLON!

Carolein Smit - Sculptures

Posted | Views: 18,247

 

The figurative sculptures of artist Carolein Smit exude an intriguing element of the macabre within their delicate husks. Often meditations on spiritual mythology and private despair, the figurative sculptures emanate a powerful sway over the viewer, much akin to how religious sculptures can incite spiritual revelation within faithful followers. The visceral additions of blood, cocoons of hair, and reliquary bones are balanced with the pale, ethereal tones of the ceramic, illuminating the interesting juxtaposition of the contradictory nature of mythology and psychological landscapes.

How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

By Kristy Brainsikk

If you happen to be in jail for killing a seahorse and there's an outbrake of zombies running amuck, don't fret just call The Cock, dad gum it!

During the zombie apocalypse, don't sleep with a whore. Because if she turns out to be a zombie, you won't get lucky!

One way to scare off a zombie during an apocalypse is to stare him/her right in the face and say 'I warn you, if you cross me I will fuckin cut you dowwnn!' The zombie should react by skipping away in fear.

During a zombie attack, never trust a bunch of weirdos because they might feed you to the zombies.. or make you drink a hobo's pee.

Another way to scare the zombies is by putting on a dress (cause let's face it you'll look ugly in it). But a fair warning, you might start to like it because you know its wrong but it feeeelsss soooo riiigghhhttt.

If your ending is anything like the one black dude in Night of The Living Dead, you might make sure every shot misses ya. Even the cops (though frank may deserve it from peeing in his drink).

Welp everybody, that's all the tips I got for ya. If you do them all, then you're the winner! Yep, this how to will totally save your from zombies.

Warning: This how to will not save your life. If you use any of the tips from this how to, zombies are sure to eat your brains and fresh. I repeat, if you use these tips then you are a moron.

Budget Design Tips

Posted | Views: 2,352

The best thing to do on a budget is to mix and match products. Kind of the same idea as wearing a Forever 21 dress and then wearing Lanvin shoes. I recommend never buying a furniture set, but by adding dimension by mixing it up. That way you can buy your basic pieces like a sofa or a bed and then add other pieces at your own pace and budget. You will want to buy your basic furniture pieces like a sofa from a reputable store but it doesn’t need to be the most expensive. Just make sure it’s comfortable and has nice basic lines. Then you can dress it up with fabric and throw pillows. Also, there are great affordable choices for end tables and coffee tables that you can dress up using books, trays, lamps, or small objects. Things like a nice area rug or drapery is also a really great tip that can change a space instantaneously. You can get drapery anywhere now from a simple roman shade to drapery panels with just as many options of hardware.
