“Seeking political asylum, Ahmed Alsoudani left Iraq for the United States in 1999. His paintings and drawings reflect the troubled contemporary history of his home country, yet they belong to a tradition of painting depicting war and atrocity.”

Often we like the things we could/would find ourselves doing. For example, these stacked totems of colors and shapes by Pica Pica.

While searching google images for “mousse“, I found the artwork of Michael Bauer which feels somewhat akin to the paintings Mike has been cranking out recently. Now I feel foolish that haven’t come across Bauer’s work before now.

Hard to believe the world is in global economic turmoil when you have people like Merijin Hos aka Bfree around. All kinds of lovely work over at his website such as drawings, installations, childrens books and even a video spot for YO GABBA GABBA. Dreamy!
