I know you've probably seen the second trailer for Denis Villeneuve's Dune by now but I was out for a late night walk and missed it so we're all going to watch it together all right? Possibly the greatest science-fiction novel ever written, Dune is even more relevant now than when it was first published. It's a political saga. It's a technological thriller. It's an ecological drama. If you've never read Dune, do pick it up.
Finding moments of genuine peace can feel like a rare treasure these days. But what if I told you that a dose of serenity could be as simple as gazing upon a canvas? Hiroya Kurata 's work makes you want to slow down and find tranquility in daily life. His oil paintings look like delightful children's books or manga that whisper calmness through their composition, their palette, and the very essence of what they depict. Hiroya's canvases are basically a visual diary, capturing little snippets of moments he spends with his family in ordinary places. And, in a way, his art provides a pause button, a moment to simply be in the presence of something beautiful and serene. His work has been exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions across the globe, from New York to Hong Kong, Tokyo, and London. Waiting , his debut solo show at Carl Kostyál , is on view until August 2, 2025.
