Fintan Switzer – Guerrillas In The Mist
New paintings inspired by the Arab Spring and revolution throughout history from Irish Artist Fintan Switzer’s new exhibition ’Guerrillas In The Mist’ which sold out last month. An Artist to keep an eye out for, especially if you’re into Conor Harrington or Aaron Nagel’s work.

Studio Swine in collaboration with Kieren Jones at the Royal College of Art have put together an open source design for the production of chairs made from recycled plastic found at sea with a DIY process of collecting, melting, casting and assembling.

Ruben Brulat
Epic self portraits from Paris based Photographer Ruben Brulat. A kind of high brow minimalist Where’s Wally.
Dana Schutz
We ran a competition for BLOW photo magazine last month and the winner chose Dana Schutz’s ‘The Sneeze’ as their favorite portrait.
‘Sneeze does everything a portrait shouldn’t: contorted and unflattering, Schutz sets up the serene stillness of memento just to interrupt it with high-velocity drool and repulsive gobs of snot. It’s a comic take on painting that’s just fundamentally wrong. More akin to an unfortunate photographic snapshot than honoured art tradition, Schutz uses her medium to embellish the horror of embarrassment, exaggerating a moment of inopportune affliction to a permanent monument of public ridicule.’ The Saatchi Gallery
More of her work below. WARNING, pretty gruesome birthing image at the end of the post.

Dan Golden
Each of these paper clip sculptures were made by different friends of Boston based Artist Dan Golden and then painted as still lifes.
