The best way to describe Japanese artist Mika Aoki’s physical body and shapes of her sculptures are like bacterial specimens going through an epidemic outbreak. At the same time, evolving and incorporating itself on cars, mutated bottles, syringes, and laboratory test tubes. In the end, her sculptures are beautiful, unusually universally perceived, and executed in abstract forms. (by okmarzo)
Arabic paintings are probably not very well known to most of us that show human figures. And it’s rather unlikely to think that they would even represent bodies and nudes! However, this is changing in the contemporary and modern Islamic art. TheArab World Institute is currently hosting an exhibition entitled “Le corps découvert(the unveiled body)” that invites the public to discover a century of Arabic paintings, photographies, drawings, lithographies, sculptures and videos that glorify the human bodies from an Islamic angle. Seventy artists are part of this ambitious show with several themes that praise the bodies, their beauties, their suffering, their different states and as witness of the memories. Do you think you know your body well enough? Maybe this exhibition, until July 15th, 2012, will allow you to discover, appreciate and learn about your body even more.
