RAW/WAR RAWR, Collage, Winston Chmielinski.

Another image to file in the collage, sex and chemistry drawer, although unlike Cunningham’s re-framing of the mundane and Zsako’s irreverence, many of Chmielinski’s images seemingly owe more to the brazen, sexually confrontational end of the culture/music/fashion press spectrum - Vice Magazine territory.

Wraps, collage, Balint Zsako.

In his collages, Zsako specialises in a kitsch, coy and wittily sex-fixated brand of subversion, gleefully exploding the pompous, haughty air of his remixed subject matter.

Elsewhere, his brooding physical photo manipulations, drawings that read like the orphaned illustrations for a mythical Greek satire on sexual politics, impressionistic imagined portraiture and stunning mixed-media journals mark him as a new, firm favourite.

‘Materiality’ series, Eleanor Cunningham.

I just spent a long moment being totally disarmed by this fluid and dynamic image which beautifully re-casts a banal domestic moment as the billowing, undulating movement of some mythical fathoms-deep sea creature.

It reminds me of both Gerhart Richter’s photo paintings, (a technique he discovered by chance), and Keith Tyson’s experimentation as part of his Mathematical Nature series, in which he pours paints, pigments and glazes onto aluminium in mathematically-inspired patterns and lets chemistry do the rest.

Book designer Peter Mendelsund’s new designs for Alfred A Knopf’s forthcoming reissue of Kafka classics are buoyant, exciting, inviting graphic works and belie the bleak views within.

‘Power’ cover artwork for Kanye West, George Condo.

Having employed the services of Takashi Murakami for a previous release with beautiful results, the latest album release by the drama-courting champion hubristador is married with equally brilliant accompanying artwork from George Condo.

Unsurprisingly, (according to ArtReview) the simple brief he gave the celebrated contemporary visual artist was the desire, above all, for the nine paintings Condo would produce to be controversial enough to guarantee a ban.
