The Fox is Black

  • Linda Nguyen Lopez, a first-generation American artist of Vietnamese and Mexican heritage, creates “abstract works that uncover the emotional depth within ordinary objects, revealing the poetic essence of the everyday.” There’s a lovely organic, kind of alien vibe to her pieces, or perhaps like something out of a children’s book. Her ceramic pieces are so full of life and whimsy, and the gradient color palette she creates is mystifying. I want to own one of these so that I can walk by and run my hands over the surfaces, I bet they feel amazing.

  • Maisie Cousins is a London-based photographer known for her intimate and hyper-saturated images that push the boundaries of seduction and repulsion. With a similar visual approach to iconic photographer Marilyn Minter, Cousins is interested in seeing the natural world for what it is, both beautiful and disgusting. I love how unsettling her work is. Everything is so sharp and saturated, you get to see every detail, for better or worse. It’s all so visceral an reaction provoking. If you’re interested in learning more, I highly suggest reading her interview with Materia, where she gives a lot of insight into the whys of her work.
