The Work of Johanna Helmuth


I don't know Johanna Helmuth, but sometimes I feel like I do. I've been following her on Instagram for weeks now and it's quite obvious how much I love her work. Her rough portraiture on canvas plays host to a group of characters that exist in a mysterious emotional universe. Her paintings speak of dominance and subordination, frustrations and betrayals, apathy and suffering, contempt and distrust.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her.  Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

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.
