#TAKEOVER // Lucy McRae, “Hook and Eyes”, 2008

#TAKEOVER // Lucy McRae, “Hook and Eyes”, 2008 I have been lucky to call @lucymcrae my inspiration as well as my friend. Her work tickles all of my senses. There are countless types of visually stimulating art in different formats that explore a very visceral palette of human emotions. Lucy explores the body and our relationship with the future via design and augmentation in a way that is captivating yet also academically edgy. These lines from Lucy’s website bio offer insight into her futuristic creative approach: “Lucy McRae is a science fiction artist, filmmaker, inventor and body architect. Her work speculates on the future of human existence by exploring the limits of the body, beauty, biotechnology and the self. McRae works across installation, film, photography, artificial intelligence and edible technology. She is regarded as a thought leader who is exploring the cultural and emotional impacts science and cutting edge technology have on redesigning the body.” Photo by Lucy McRae.

#TAKEOVER // Ashraf Khoffash (aka @pandagunda), Untitled digital art, 2020 Swedish visual artist Ashraf Khoffash, otherwise known as Pandagunda, is one of the very first digital artists that really caught my eye. In the world of graphic design, there aren't many works that go beyond regular visual effects. There is a real art to lacing unbiological elements with emotion. In this case, @pandagunda’s graphics become their own deserved entity and character. Visit Ashraf Khoffash’s Pandagunda website: https://www.pandagunda.com/

#TAKEOVER // Monica Piloni, “Gangorra” (Seesaw

#TAKEOVER // Monica Piloni, “Gangorra” (Seesaw), 2019 There are so many pieces from Brazil-born, Brussels-based artist @monicapiloni that have moved me. Her earlier work – featuring empty heads and deconstructed body sculptures - brings to mind how women conform themselves to endure impossible situations. “Gangorra” is especially striking because of its infinite movement, forever hanging in the balance. “Monica’s work seems to evoke the forces that act upon bodies, through an interweaving between appearance and essence, fact and fiction.” ~ Zipper Galeria press release Sculpture: @monicapiloni

#TAKEOVER // Every month, Beautiful Bizarre Magazi

#TAKEOVER // Every month, Beautiful Bizarre Magazine chooses one of our favourite creative movers and shakers to TAKE OVER our social media for the day. This month, we have chosen Bionic Pop Artist and Creative Director @viktoriamodesta!
...
Hey, I'm Viktoria. I have worked in the intersection of music, performance art, and design for the majority of my life, bringing elements of science and technology into my creative practice. I prefer to think of my aesthetic as aggressively positive. I often challenge my audience and their perception of physical ability, turning their focus on the futuristic and conceptual vision of human potential. I have been inspired by so many amazing and extremely innovative artists that push the boundaries of the human body and image. Matthew Barney, Alexander McQueen, Marie Chouinard, Hajime Saroyama, Hans Bellmer, and Ray Ceasar, to name a few. During my TAKE OVER on Beautiful Bizarre’s social media pages today, I am shining light on inspiring imagery from contemporary creatives that really reflects my passion for redesigning the human body as well as my affinity for the future. I appreciate the fact that these artists aren't afraid of using mixed mediums to express the intensity of human emotion. I often regard negative experiences and emotion as a force that sets you back but gives you the traction to spring forward, much like a bow and arrow. I hope you are as inspired by these fabulous creatives as I am! Beautiful Bizarre Guest Curator: @viktoriamodesta

Contemporary Japanese artist Takato Yamamoto (@takatoy999), who is known for his “Heisei Estheticism”, paired with Sue Takum (@sumart.jp) to release this unbelievably detailed figurine. This is a three-dimensional version of Yamamoto's classic "Fermentation of a Hermaphrodite" illustration (image #4), which was originally featured on the cover and the interior of Yamamoto's "Rib of A Hermaphrodite" book. This sculpture is called "Fostering Hermaphroditus". A few additional shots of this piece can be seen on Sum Art's Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/p/B7bAPsVDd4E/ Thank you @jennli1028
