  • Flowers of Sickness: Marcel van der Vlugt’s “A New Day”

    04.05.11

    These lovely images are from Marcel van der Vlugt’s medical series A New Day. They depict the “flowers of illness,” so to speak, featuring nude women in hospital regalia (bandages, oxygen masks, bound limbs), among medical equipment, upon the operating and examining table, but simultaneously intertwined with, wearing, sprouting flowers, seeming somehow strong at the same time that they represent fragility and trauma, and suggesting that they are reborn, given new life in the midst of sickness and sterility.

  • Joanna Chrobak

    02.01.11

    Joanna Chrobak is an amazing contemporary Polish artist. Heavily influenced by medieval and Renaissance art, her paintings are beautiful, surreal, strange, with an old-world sense of stateliness, and filled with mystic symbolism.
