Madame Peripetie

Madame Peripetie is a Polish photographer based in Germany. I believe her name translates as Mrs. Unexpected and unexpected is certainly the feeling you get when looking at her beautiful images.

She explores the boundaries between fashion, sculpture and the human body, experimenting with various fabrics and patterns; whilst infusing high-fashion elements with abstract and conceptual ideas, creating an eccentric escapade of color and texture. In her work she is focusing mainly on the interaction between body, language and new media. Her inspirations include surrealism, dadaism as well as the new wave era of the 80s, British post punk scene and the avantgarde theater of Robert Wilson.

The images shown here are taken from a set titled ‘Dream sequence’.

Frédérique Daubal

Coming from a graphic design background Frederique Daubal is a French artist and photographer working with clients such as Arkitip, Beams Japan, Colette Paris and Feiyue. She also experiments with textile as a 3-Dimensional medium and creates products using second hand pieces which are for sale in her online shop. For this series, ‘Hide and Seek’, Daubal cut out pages from fashion magazines to make masks resembling Muslim veils – a thought-provoking art piece on what it means to be French today.

Hellovon / Cocoon

Hellovon, genius of London town, opened a solo show last night at the Electric Blue Gallery. It’s showing until July 7th, so get down there, marvel at his unearthly talent, and maybe buy a print or two.

Barnaby Barford

On 11 March 2008, the irreverent ceramic artist Barnaby Barford will be exhibiting a new series of subversive objects at David Gill Galleries in London. The latest collection, “Private Lives,” shows Barford treading into uncharted territory, repositioning figures from pop culture and cartoons for his witty mises-en-scènes.
