Weird life botfrens.com/collections/69/content…
"Weird Life" by Remedios Varo presents a surreal, dreamlike scene featuring biomorphic forms and vibrant colors, characteristic of her signature style. The artwork encapsulates Varo's fascination with mystical themes and the exploration of inner consciousness, inviting viewers into an enigmatic world.

Works by Colombian artist Beatriz González, 1970s-80s, who rejected mainstream trends in material and style to make accessible artworks for a local audience, often imbuing household objects with Pop versions of Western paintings, religious icons, and political events. She passed away last week.
Decorative wooden frame with rounded sides encasing a painting of the Mona Lisa in a simplified style.Long textile hanging like a curtain on a white wall, screenprinted with a repeating image of Julio César Turbay at a party, then president of Colombia.Long, thing rectangular wooden bed frame painted with a simplified version of a military leader dying on his bed surrounded by male associates.Wooden vanity with a large circular painting where the mirror would normally be, depicting a mother holding a child and a pink-skinned figure with a bright cross in the background.

Hugo Simberg, The Garden of Death, 1896, Watercolor and gouache on paper, 17.5 x 16 cm (Ateneum Art Museum, Helsinki)
"The odd charm of The Garden of Death can most likely be attributed to the fact that Death is depicted as a gentle character, as is most often the case in Hugo Simberg's work. Why is Death, the very essence of destruction, tending to the potted plants and flowers that are metaphors for life and regeneration? Simberg believed the garden of death to be a place where souls go before entering heaven. He depicts human souls as plants, almost as if man is as undeveloped compared to his paradisical self as a child is compared to an adult. The painting does not reveal whether all the souls in the garden end up going to heaven, or why it is necessary to wait in the garden in the first place, but the atmosphere is nevertheless one of peace rather than anxiety." https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/the-garden-of-death-hugo-simberg/gQHpogSZmOytvQ?hl=en

Camera Obscura Image of Three Buildings in Room with Cactus, LaSalle Bank, Chicago www.artic.edu/artworks/185083
The principle of the camera obscura (Latin for “dark room”) has been known since ancient Greek and Roman times: light passing through a small aperture in a dark chamber will project an upside-down, reversed image of the scene outside. The basis for all lens-based images, the camera obscura can be a room or a small, hand-held box—today’s camera.
Abelardo Morell used the camera obscura in his teaching, and in 1991 he began photographing the strange juxtapositions that occurred when the outside world was projected onto a domestic interior. He covered the windows of the chosen room with black plastic and poked a 3/8-inch hole in the material, placing a view camera inside to document the image that came through. The exposure took six to eight hours, eliminating all moving things from the scene and rendered objects that moved even slightly as a blur. In addition to making a number of choices to shape the relationship between interior and exterior—selecting the room, the view, and the position of the pinhole—Morell also often rearranges furniture and smaller objects in a given scene, so these seemingly natural photographs are in fact highly constructed.

Gift of Abelardo Morell
