Geomorphia
Brett Charles Seiler lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa,
where he also graduated from the Ruth Prowse School of Art in 2015.
Seiler's work has elements of painting, installation, and object
art, with a strong emphasis on the use of text and language.
Sometimes poetic, nostalgic, or romantic, it is an integral part of
his art or stands on its own as a piece as well. In his paintings,
the space is indeterminate, the figures are not located and
sketchily fleeting, the writing elements seem spontaneous like
statements from street art. The colour scheme moves in a narrow
spectrum between black, grey, white and brown tones, often using
wood. His themes are sexual interaction, oppression, homosexuality,
gender, men. Originally from Zimbabwe, a state where human rights
violations are commonplace, his work also makes a mark in the
struggle for equal sexual orientation in education, media, and
institutions. "[My work] is a deep longing for understanding. It is
from the point of view of something that I've missed, something
that I cannot go back to. It's a process of research." Text in
English and German.

This monograph brings together the work of artist David Medalla.
Born in Manila, in the Philippines in 1942, and based since 1960
mainly in London, Medalla has distinguished himself internationally
as an innovator of the avant-garde. His work has embraced a
multitude of enquiries and enthusiasms, forms and formats, to
express a singular yet deeply coherent vision of the world.
The first substantial overview of Newling's mysterious, intriguing,
and often beautiful works.
Life of Newlyn/St Ives artist famed for his paintings of animals
and birds.
Known for his grand public murals, Diego Rivera (1886-1957) is one
of Mexico's most revered artists. His paintings are marked by a
unique fusion of European sophistication, revolutionary political
turmoil, and the heritage and personality of his native country.
Based on extensive interviews with the artist, his four wives
(including Frida Kahlo), and his friends, colleagues, and
opponents, The Fabulous Life of Diego Rivera captures Rivera's
complex personality--sometimes delightful, frequently infuriating
and always fascinating--as well as his development into one of the
twentieth century's greatest artist.
