I DON’T LIKE MONDAYS - WOOD CARVING BY BEN TURNBULL
Description originale
Just when you think you have seen everything, it gets better. London-based artist Ben Turnbull, creates guns into old wooden school desks. “I Don’t Like Mondays” is the name of this collection (currently being exhibited at Eleven Fine Art in London).
At first the juxtaposition seemed simple and sort of obvious, violence onto innocence, but what i like most about the collection is the sculptural quality of the carvings.
From The Gallery :
Ben Turnbull is fascinated by the global dominance of American culture, and his works unsettling effects result from re-presenting the toys of our innocent youth in symbolic forms that reveal the shocking truths about war, death and guns in the world’s most powerful country. Above all they take a satirical look at the lengths that the country’s political elites go to in order to control and manipulate the way we think, from our first days of play to the last time we cast our vote. Turnbull is a passionate critic of the contemporary American political system, and explains why toys are central to his work: ‘Force fed on violence, abused by a controlling superpower and blackmailed through patriotism, the public are ultimately as disposable as the toys they once played with’.
Ben Turnbull was born in 1974. He lives and works in London.

COARSE FALSE FRIENDS
Designed by coarse | Country: Hong Kong
“coarse unveils their long anticipated ‘false friends’ series, a set of two original vinyl statues. The release incorporates key coarse characters ‘paw!’, a monkey cross rabbit, and ‘noop’, a human like being, as they portray another episode in the ongoing coarse story. This time the dissimilar pair aspire to become companions - even at the price of their own identities. Demonstrating the underlying complexity of the brand, this series delivers yet another dimension to the world of coarse.”
“The German artist duo behind coarse, once again showcases their distinctive aesthetic. Their forms are dominated by smooth curves, hard lines and sharp edges, combined to point of a unity. In past years, coarse has become renowned for its definitive style, its meticulous attention to detail and the vivid dreamscapes painted by its story line. Recent coarse releases have almost always sold out instantaneously, and the scope of the latest offering proves why the brand has such an increasing worldwide presence amongst art toy and fine arts collectors.
In this chapter of the coarse narrative, the young noop begins to mimic the appearance of his natural enemy, paw!, a tactic to secure his own survival. However, after being acknowledged as a paw!, the noop becomes trapped behind his mask forever. A dangerous and fragile friendship takes its course.
The collection includes ‘the colossal paw! and a freshly hatched noop, robed in his heavenly soft paw! suit.’ The 13” vinyl pair comes in glowing spring colors, put to sleep between two cotton pillows, every one embroidered with the individual running number. Safely packed in a hand crafted wooden box with a monkey rabbit nose handle and enclosed with an elastic band.”

“A number of aged wine with the names Ampeloeis Gold and Ampeloeis Silver.
Two red wines, matured with 100% and 50% respectively;-aging in oak barrels the winery had to have an elegant, respectively, while “heavy” label to identify precisely what it offers, a fine wine for those who know how to choose.
The very careful design of labels with an emphasis on typography, but also in the actual cutting of the logo represents the company, combined with the choice of paper or silver stamping the gold stamping, embossing and the custody of the print, the result is what the consumers and customer wants.”

ALEX BOX + RANKIN
Description originale
Alex Box is a fine artist and visionary before a makeup artist. The woman uses the visage as a canvas to which she applies layers of non-conforming techniques which result in mind blowing avant-garde face paintings. Here are a few stills I pulled from her first, new, self-titled book shot by Rankin. You can also hear an exclusive interview with Jo Jones for The Guardian below. Pure genius! Purchase book here.

In order to demonstrate the typical character of the wool at first sight, faces were printed on the labels around the balls of wool as a winter special. Therefore, the packaging communicated the main use of the yarn: It is perfect for scarves and hats.”
