Featured Artist of the Day: Hush

HUSH

Street Artist

"HUSH's origins as a street artist translate to his contemporary work. Inspired by the portrayal of the female form, the artist builds up and deconstructs layers of paint and images as he works. The result is an enigmatic synthesis of anime, pop-infused imagery and graffiti exposing the conflict between power and decay, innocence and sexuality and the fusion of Eastern and Western culture.

In 2011, HUSH launched the successful installation program and exhibition space, onethirty3, in Newcastle, UK."

Featured Artist of the Day: Miss Van

Miss Van

"In the early 1990s, I started discovering graffiti with friends of mine, tagging a little bit and following them, taking photos and stuff...Then I wanted to be a part of it...Painting on walls was a way to show that I was boycotting the conventional art world...It also enables me to make my art accessible to a larger public audience.

Graffiti has a very megalomaniac side; instead of writing my name, I chose to represent myself through my dolls...

My dolls convey a provocative image, sometimes a bit erotic. I wish they disturbed and provoked fantasies. I want them to make the viewer react, no matter the reaction, I would like them to make people forget their daily lives."

-Miss Van, from her official website.
