ARTISTS:
ELLE Dead Sex
New York based artist ELLE Dead Sex has the following to say about her art:
“My inspiration for creating street art lies in the search for the perfect human skin; both figuratively and literally. I am working to understand how, why and with what we, as humans, choose to adorn our bodies and what those things represent. My work has to do with the circle of life and regeneration, like the process of the peyote ceremony (ie- the puking lamb ladies) who purge out all of the evil spirits after ingesting the (actually quite toxic) cactus. I like to consider reincarnation, regeneration, and the ability we have to brand and rebrand ourselves to fit into these ever- fluxing ideas of who we are, who we want to be, and what brings us to a place of peace.”
KIMYON HUGGINS
Originally drawn to djing techno music, in the past few years Brooklyn-based artist Kimyon Huggins has turned his attention increasingly towards painting. Huggins has sought to translate the ʻpure expressionʼ of his music into visual art through androgynous, primitive figuration, inspired both by the anonymous silhouettes of techno dance club-goers as well as Buddhist imagery that emphasizes the universal nature of the human spirit.
