'SexLife' by Stefan Georgiou

Having a baby is a beautiful, life-changing experience. But no matter how you love your precious tot, caring for an infant can be a serious obstacle to hooking up. This is the focus of Stefan Georgiou's film SexLife, which was originally written by Kefi Chadwick as a theatrical piece for the Edinburgh Festival.

The 15-minute short centers on Mia (Jemima Rooper) and Dan (Dylan Edwards), a young London couple who haven't had sex since before the birth of their son. In an attempt to get his partner into bed, Dan dresses as Dr. Frank-N-Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's hilarious, emotional, and charming in its honesty. Check it out below.

Does Nicola Samori ever underwhelm? The Italian painter and sculptor caught my attention some two years ago, when I stumbled upon his work on Artsy . Samori creates dark, Baroque-inspired oil paintings by layering and fusing images on canvas, wood or other objects. His work stems from fear, and his process involves "skinning" his painted figures with a palette knife or thinner and painting over the surfaces multiple times to achieve deep-seated results. "Peeling off the faces make it possible for all the neglected parts of a representation to come to light and, as far as I am concerned, they all work even better without any kind of control," Samori explained in a  2012 interview . "I don't know what it is that gives a person their identity, it's such complex matter. I definitely don't think a portrait can eventually give it back because you can always perceive its author behind its eyes; well, maybe others' portraits (even their removal,...
