Lucy McRae: Body Architect at NGV Australia


When you hear the name Lucy McRae, the strange anatomical forms and weird adornments of her subjects come to mind. These multimedia art pieces are visually stimulating, but they often end up disturbing the viewer's  mind.

Lucy, who calls herself a "body architect", produces short films and images that raise questions about what it means to be human and what is it that makes us human. As former ballerina, interior designer and architect, Lucy effectively blurs the lines between fashion, design, art, architecture and science. If you happen to be in Melbourne, check out the first survey exhibition of Lucy's provocative and beguiling work, Lucy McRae: Body Architect. The show runs until February 9, 2020 at the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia at Federation Square. The best part? Admission is free.

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.

Spray Paint Reflection

Through my random searches I came across the work of Taiwanese artist BlackZao, who blends graffiti and calligraphy with Eastern religious art. There are a lot of things that make his paintings exceptional but I really like the vibrant hues, lettering, and intricate illustrations. Aside from spray painting on walls and canvases, he also creates digital art, makes beautiful collages, and goes old school with acrylics and brushes. Check out his Facebook page for more.

Rideable Catbuses are now a thing.

I use my bicycle a lot. It's convenient, environmentally friendly, and reduces the stress of getting around the city. But I wouldn't mind driving this whimsical Ghibili/Toyota EV everyday. Panalo 'tong panghatid-sundo sa mga bata.
