Mary Perkings aka @artmaryperkins with a new digital piece called “Black Water”.

The artist does not reveal much beyond the title but she tags the work with #bookillustration, do you have an idea, which book and content are referred to here?

👉Swipe right👉to see the extra fabulous bronze-tinged frame that @chetzar created for his contemplative kitty!🌒🐈🦇

Yesss, this handmade piece is accented with four💀skeletal gargoyles that GLOW IN THE DARK, because the film industry sculptor/special effects makeup artist believes that augmenting art with handcrafted flourishes "adds so much value to a painting"...plus he's a pretty big fan of sculpting.

You can see the @darkartsociety community/podcast founder's eerie work of art in person - just attend @palettesf.gallery's 10 artist group show, 🧿“The Evil Among Us”🧿which runs through November 6th.

"Die Traenen Der Rose II" (2017) by @illusorya, watercolours on 30x40cm paper.

"This is definitely one of my most personal pieces, based on my own life experiences." shares artist Illusorya. "It was created in 2017 during an extremely difficult moment of mental and physical instability. Those days continuing like an eternal circle, until the day I totally abandoned every hope and tried to take away my own life.

Then, I found a ray of light: my art job.
Music, my own world and art were - and are - the only salvations in my life.

This is why I created this painting. The details on paper are Rammstein's lyrics because in some way they help me a lot through their grotesque, dark humour (I related a lot!). The lady has in her hands an iPod, a copy of mine that I use every night since being a teenager to sleep.

After that dark time, I've tried slowly to walk on my path, from my art work to being mentally and physically healthy. Sharing a part of my story with friends and artists, I've found a real help and inspiration to fight... I'll always be thankful for them! It's a lesson that there is no need to be ashamed by what, I suppose, was just a step in life."

Do you love this porcelain sculpture by @lorrenlowrey as much as I do?

Lorren in her statement that “her upbringing has a huge impact on how I approach art and my process”. She explains further: “Influenced by memento mori paintings, these anthropomorphic sculptures contain warnings through expressions of pain and object symbolism. I use porcelain to render these tableaus because of it’s delicate yet austere qualities. A material so fragile yet impenetrable is a perfect vehicle for expressing the personal tether between growth and pain.”
