Viktoria Sorochinski's Fact and Fantasy

Since 2005, Russian photographer Viktoria Sorochinski has been shooting a hugely popular series of photos titled Anna & Eve. Through a mix of documentary and fiction, Sorochinkski shows how the two grew together and came to understand the world around them. Her images contain a very strong narrative, and, though all the scenes are staged, they reveal a real relationship of a mother and her daughter.

Sorochinski left the USSR with her parents in 1990 when she was 11 years old. After living in Israel, she continued her studies of Fine Arts at Concordia University in Montreal, then at the New York University, where she acquired her Masters of Fine Arts in 2008. She is currently living and working in Berlin, Germany.

The following images come from the series Anna & Eve, Silent Dialogs, Daddy and Lands of No Return. You can find more of Sorochinski’s work on her website.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.
