In spite of his realistic traces, painter Lee Price creates quite uncommon pieces of art. Starred by different women, his paintings are covered with sweets and candies that fill the four corners of the canvas, giving his works a delightful taste. Depicted through an unusual and constant angle, the intimate scenes often occur on bathrooms and bedrooms, where the naked models lay eating doughnuts, pies, cereals and other kinds of food. Despite the intimate places and naked bodies shown on the series, the works don’t refer to eroticism, showing that even realistic art transcends the depicted objects. + Info: Site: Lee Price News 2010-07-28T16:33:30+00:00 http://www.zupi.org/index.php/site_zupi_en/view/art_army/ http://www.zupi.org/index.php/site_zupi_en/view/art_army/#When:20:52:43Z Andy Warhol, David Bowie, Banksy, Basquiat and David Lynch are just a few of the soldiers from the Art Army, an action figure series by Mike Leavitt.

Check out this simple and creative idea. When we have insane dreams, whether funny or weird, we usually share them with other people, telling the parts we can recall. Little Mila, however, is too young to disclose to her mother, Adele Enersen, the plots that run through her mind while sleeping. Therefore, the creative mum started taking guesses, transporting to real life the unreal possibilities filling her daughter’s dreams. Using day-to-day materials, such as clothes, sheets, toys and a photo camera, Adele shows her baby surfing, taming elephants, taking intergalactic trips and juggling without waking the little model up. + Info: Site: Mila’s Daydreams News 2010-07-26T19:36:06+00:00 http://www.zupi.org/index.php/site_zupi_en/view/embroidering_photographs/ http://www.zupi.org/index.php/site_zupi_en/view/embroidering_photographs/#When:15:48:03Z Maurizio Anzeri, Italian artist based in London, works on sewing and embroidering old photographs, creating a beautiful yet bizarre experimental series. Maurizio Anzeri is an Italian artist who lives and works in London. There he develops his beautiful series – somewhat bizarre, it’s true – of experimental photographs. His works, however, owe less to photography than to sewing and embroidery, since its basis is the modification of old photos through needles and threads, creating patterns and graphics over the faces of portrayed people.
