Immaculate ReflectionRodgers has been featured in numerous publications in America and abroad including Die Welt, Art in America, Citizen K, German GQ, Kunstbeeld, Arte, Art and FLAUNT to name a few. And his book, Terry Rodgers — The Apotheosis of Pleasure, published by TORCH Books of Amsterdam, was released in December 2006.
Rodgers’ current work focuses on portraying contemporary body politics. His rendering of the upper-class leisure life stands as an iconic vision of today’s society. The resulting paintings are not snapshots or slices of life, not verite records of actual moments in actual party or family situations, or diaristic records of his life, but carefully constructed and composited fictions, designed to elicit the most meaning and sustain the maximum amount of ambiguity.
Terry Rodgers attended Amherst College, with a major in the Fine Arts. His strong interest in film and photography influenced his style in the direction of representational realism in art.

Stunning oil paintings by Amy Bennett. At first glance they look like photographs of miniature models, which effectively forces you into an almost God-like point of view of each scene.

To be a Fujiya & Miyagi fan I'm terribly embarrassed that I haven't seen the music video for "Ankle Injuries" before (single from the classic kraut disco album "transparent things"), but as they say better late then never.
Whether it is subtle or grotesque, the operated shift in the work of Julien Roure is questioning the reality of the world which surrounds it, thus making rock the concept of truth for the General to the individual. By diverting and associating familiar figures and objects, he puts in scene a universe where symbol maries to the story and where strangeness hides behind a pallet of exaggeratedly vivid colors. Because it should be well recognized that the smooth appearance of his sharply drawn and vectorized images, contains layers much more complex. An underground world where the super heroes would be called Eros and Thanatos and where tensions would give birth to dreams as much tempting than poisonous.
Well i'm obviously a sucker for stop motion, here is another sweet spot made by youtube user Dokugyunyu. "At first I photographed stop motion animation. And I displayed the photographs in my room and photographed it again. I used 1,300 printed pictures. Enjoy a connection with the world of the room and the world in the photograph."
