Art

Got Me Scattered in Pieces, 2016 || Jala Wahid

(via Paddle8)

London-based visual artist Jala Wahid’s works, often executed in pinks, oranges and reds, simultaneously evoke a feeling of repulsion and sensuality. In many of Wahid’s pieces, conventional sculptural materials such as plaster, acrylic paint, lacquer, ceramic, steel, bronze and copper are combined with less expected, sometimes edible elements including sugar, grapefruit, clove and bergamot oils as well as Kurdish sweets, touching on Wahid’s heritage. Available at Paddle8.

 

Los Angeles No. 1, 2000 || R.B. Kitaj, R.A.

(via Christie’s)

This work is part of a series by American artist R.B. Kitaj, depicting the artist and his beloved wife and muse Sandra Fisher, who tragically died of an aneurism in 1994. Los Angeles No. 1 is the first in the series, showing Kitaj reuniting with Sandra in the afterlife in a variety of erotic embraces, portrayed as angels. These personal paintings mark an important stylistic departure for Kitaj. Available at Christie’s.
