Porque no existe, porque sólo muere aquél que no vivió.”

Disturbingly beautiful clay/porcelain sculptures by Israeli artist Ronit Baranga
The use of fingers and mouths in my work is full of intent and meaning. The fingers and the mouth are very sensual organs in the human body and are therefore very powerful as separated items from it. The “seamless” combination of these organs in plates or cups, appearing as one, creates, in my opinion, new items that “feel” their environment and respond to it - Ronit (interview with Empty Kingdom)

Jackson Pollock, icon of the abstract expressionist movement, was born 100 years ago today. One of the first American artists to achieve a worldwide reputation, he’s still celebrated for radically challenging artistic conventions. “I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc.,” he said, “because the painting has a life of its own.”

» Dead Passarita...Yes, you read it right! A blogue about contemporary art.
Here you can read, for example, about:
“Christian Boltanski (1944), a french born artist. His works focus the theme of death, the uniqueness of each human being, the transience of life and the absence. In opposition to the notion of individual identity, on the ways in which we strive to create and maintain it, the artist explores the loss of it as a collective experience in which we become numbers.”
