Tumblr Monday 105 - Tumblr Artist
Jason Laferrera | on Tumblr (USA)
The textures and contours of old maps are fascinating, even the tattered and stained parts. Artist Jason Laferrera digitally manipulates cartographic materials to create fauna and fowl in poses reminiscent of field guides from a similarly early era of publication. These idealized depictions created from recycled imagery question our relationship with the boundaries we draw to divide the natural world. The patterns of forests and shores often become an animal’s feathers or fur, while the rings of topography often trace out wings or antlers. Many thanks to actegratuit for this Monday for having introduced us Jason Laferrera!

Mathilde Aubier | on Tumblr (France)

I like the idea of creating poetic space, where you can escape from the reality for a while.” Mathilde Aubier is also the co-founder of the art and design studio ( Ma + chr ). Please visit artist’s website or follow her Tumblr for more discoveries. (Interview with artist by Artchipel Avr-2013)

Tumblr Monday 99 - Tumblr Artist
Paula Braconnot | on Tumblr (b.1981, Brazil/France) - Male / Female Timenaut
The story about the artist Paula Braconnot begins with an alchemical formula: VITRIOL. More than a mere acid, VITRIOL represents an inner evolution, a permanent transformation, a wandering metamorphosis. The images created by Paula Braconnot are born from this internal exploration, at the crossroads between the material and invisible realms. The artist composes virtual collages using remnants of bygone times: alchemical engravings, anatomical diagrams, and nineteenth century depictions of flora and fauna. This confrontation gives birth to characters adulterated by mechanisms, hybrid beings and organs cultivated amongst foliage. Eyes blossom over hands; hearts and flowers open as doors of perception. Braconnot’s visions are glimpses of a perilous path. As in Alice in Wonderland, where a little girl is confronted by her fears and hopes, the artist portrays visions that would normally be confined to dreams. The collages act as conduits, allowing precise themes such as Time, the cold beauty of Death and irrepressible Life to come to the fore - Themes that have been enthusiastically received during exhibitions in Europe (London & Paris) and Brazil (Sao Paulo) (text by Brice Kowalsky) Please follow artist’s Tumblr or visit her online shop for more works.
Great thanks to Diane Drubay, founder of Buzzeum and curator of creamoftheirskin, for this Tumblr Monday to introduce us Paula Braconnot’s work. Hope you will enjoy as much as we do!

Francoise Larouge | on Tumblr (France)
Born in Tours, France, Françoise Larouge has studied in the history of art at L’Ecole du Louvre and in the history of film at La Cinémathèque Française in Paris. Her first artwork was focused on painting, but quickly she began to work on short film wrinting histories, casting actors, being script for a short story. While she was developping her art skills, she worked for the CGT (one of the most important french worker union) and other places. She had a fresh start with photography and collages after a few years of wandering and has graduated in 2006 in plastic expression at Ecole Duperré. For Françoise, collages and photographies are two best way to express herself. By the photograph, she works on the memory and the fidelity. With the collage, all the mixes become possible: mental portraits, humour or lightness. Please visit artist’s website for more photography work or follow her Tumblr for more collages.

Randy Grskovic | on Tumblr (Canada) - Analogue Distortion of Discarded Photograph
The work of Grskovic tends toward the point of ridiculous. He takes viewers beyond irony to confront them with the improbability of representation, forcing them to consider the fundamental assumptions underlying utopian ideals. By problematizing representation and making its process transparent, Grskovic sets up a dialogue between what we consider to be real and our propensity to idealize that reality. (by Stephen Foster)
