American artist Lori Larusso uses mundane american interior and exterior settings as the main subject in her paintings. At first glance her work appears more as a collage art than painting, because of her way of abstracting the environments by removing (...) Read More about Lori Larusso’s Paintings (31 words)

This is super cool looking, but what is it? That was my question to the artist, Peter Nencini. “This is a limited edition of boxed artworks, for Partners & Spade’s store.

Anika Lori’s art is layered with history, emotion, and a great deal of symbolism. The Danish based artist became noticed for her vibrant collages but has more recently began to develop her paintings and sculptures.

Anika Lori’s work has a tendency of punctutating oragnic concepts and ideas with bold graphic lines and shapes, a contrast which is very signifying to her style. (...)

This weekend I went to the New Museum in New York City for the first time. I am not really sure what took me so long to get there but I think it was a subliminal resistance to prolong my optimism towards to the museum, as a response to the negative feelings I have heard from those around me about it.
