Jeff Koons is one of the most influential artists of the contemporary art era. In this image, the artist placed a small blue reflective sphere on Van Gogh’s masterpiece Wheatfield With Cypresses — the sphere refracts viewers’ gazes and allows them to appreciate both the contemporary and Impressionist era at once.

Frida Orupabo’s work consists of digital and physical collages made in various forms. The unusual composite bodies she creates explore questions related to body identity.

The works of the painter Peter Uka are usually bursting with details and create a setting in which viewers can lose themselves. His compositions, nevertheless, have always shown clear structures, colors, and forms, which embed his subjects in an everyday narrative. In the painting here, however, he lifts the three portrayed women out of their context and unexpectedly further strengthens their presence. No background or objects distract from the group and the viewer can easily establish a direct connection with them.

British artist Jane Harris plays with shapes, particularly the ellipse, in her geometrically themed works. The closely arranged shapes, as well as the muted color-scheme in this work, end up having an impact instead of seeming passive, which really speaks to me.

Bonafini’s textile-based works mesmerize through her amplification of the realms of painting and sculpture in her 3D carpeted forms. Her works are often images of amalgamated bodies creating connections between the labor of textiles, feminine communities, and contemporary abstract design. Looking Forbackward is a poetic work, blending silhouettes with opposing dark and light tones.

I love this dreamy, romantic depiction of a young girl in her garden, lost in thought, with a garland of vivid green leaves and bright red berries crowning her head.

At the center of the painting, we see a pair of wide cartoon eyes. The eyes are those of villains from twentieth-century cartoons and anime. The artist’s appropriation has turned the viewer and viewed power-dynamic on its head as he consciously selects readymade images. The technique creates a narrative process that unfolds around the ubiquitous digital images of the contemporary landscape, presenting us with a psychic constellation of different cultures intersecting amidst conflicting elements of popular culture and the classical canon.

Michael Werner Kunsthandel in Cologne is currently presenting new paintings by Swiss artist Raphael Egil. I especially like this painting with a blue tree and the white lines that structure the frame. A second tree might also be viewed too if seen from another perspective.
