Laurina Paperina
Shirin Neshat - Limited edition framed figurative photograph

2008

About the Item

Limited edition framed figurative photograph titled "Shirin Neshat" by Laurina Paperina - Edition 3/3 Laurina Paperina, the artistic alter ego of Laura Scottini, pokes fun at art and life in her morbidly humorous paintings, drawings, installations, sculptures, animations, and photographs. Her series, "Artist’s Face–Balloons," is a playful photographic portrait series that blends human bodies with balloon heads. The project, which includes portraits of Frida Kahlo, Cindy Sherman, Shirin Neshat, and even Paperina herself, creatively interprets each artist based on a combination of appearance and artistic style. Set within a studio, a bedroom, or against a blank wall, each unconventional image features a figure holding up a large balloon face covered with an artist-specific illustration. In the thoughtful collection, Paperina visually conveys personalities by highlighting recognizable details from each artist's career and blending them naturally into unique balloon designs and backgrounds. Much of her work involves witty commentary on current events. However, she does so in a whimsical way because she states: “I don't want to make serious art!” Laurina Paperina has exhibited extensively throughout Europe, the USA, and beyond. Her superpower is her ability to create art that ameliorates the abundance of seriousness in the world and makes the viewer smile.

  • Lotan VIII - Abstract black and white contemporary ink painting
    By Christopher Rico
    Located in East Quogue, NY
    Black and white contemporary abstract painting by Christopher Rico - ink on Yupo paper. Offered unframed. For this black and white series of paintings, Rico uses oversized calligraphy brushes on Yupo paper. He lays out long sheets on the floor and masks off dimensions for what would become separate sheets. Many of the eventual works were painted together as one in order to preserve single and repetitive strokes that materialized as part of his daily meditations. This physical meditation resulted in artifacts of gesture allowing subconscious imagery to emerge freely as though they were born from the depths--where a physical entity’s relationship to gravity and environment is different than for lifeforms on the surface.

Mizrakli has conducted many shooting sessions for Mica Studios and Bullet Magazine in New York and had two solo exhibitions in Los Angeles. She has recently participated in the Contemporary Istanbul Exhibition (November 2013). In some of her black and white works she uses the human body only as a pictorial sign in order to create almost abstract works. First made anonymous, the female model is then cloned and circularly multiplied. The result is a kind of wheel in which the repeated human body gives birth to a new, seemingly vegetal or mineral structure. Thus, the human element seems to be transformed into different other natural...
