Smokestack Fireplace and Grill

 

The Smokestack Fireplace and Grill is crafted in Holland from corten steel, and while already weather-resistant this tough material will continue to corrode over time to create a sustainable protective layer. Its industrial style is a great fit for outdoor spaces as is the design’s functionality that allows the fireplace to act as a grill with the addition of a stainless steel grate.

Gwen Yip

 

Gwen Yip was born and raised in Hong Kong and lived the world over before relocating yet again to the United States, currently New Jersey. Among other works, Yip captures the backs of people she doesn’t know and the isolation of living in a city in her painting series entitled Backs – London, NYC, and Hong Kong.

We all carry things on our backs.
Some shoulder burdens and regrets and 
others carry dreams and hopes.
Some scarcely bear them and 
others delightedly bring them wherever they go.
What do you carry on your back?

Noodles 12 Ways

Autumn showed up right on time this past weekend, and I’m so ready to dive back into comfort foods! Noodles in any form always fall under that category, so these twelve variations are all in good company.

Charlotte Chauvin

 

Charlotte Chauvin‘s – aka Cha Coco‘s – simple line drawings run the gamut from shy and sweet to sexy and risqué. My favorite recurring subject matter are the human hands she favors and illustrates in a myriad of ways.

Rachel Sager

 

San Francisco-based artist Rachel Sager‘s newest series focuses on sweeping, explosive landscapes where matter is presented in a decomposed state, suspended between earth and sky. Her inspiration for these charcoal and oil paintings comes from brush fires, demolition explosions, storm clouds, and explosives.

“My goal is to produce the differences existing between the varying states of this matter, neither solid or gas, yet so specific that a rain cloud could never be mistaken for a cloud consisting of particles that once made up a house or a building. In doing so, I aim to create sweeping, emotionally charged landscapes that convey a dissonance that I experience in self expression. The turmoil, represented by the debris filled smoke, is juxtaposed by sun infused skies and cirrus clouds, projecting the duplicity that is unavoidable, overwhelming, and at times, awe-inspiring.”

Irene Laschi

 

I’ve already said goodbye to a few of my annuals from summer and am thinking ahead to mums and pumpkins, so you could say botanicals are on my mind. Irene Laschi is an Italian artist who specializes in scientific illustration, and her captures of flora are detailed and starkly beautiful.

Natalie Muir

 

Natalie Muir could create a beautiful universe filled with her fluid resin paintings. Using fine pigments and art-grade resin on a wood substrate, she focuses on the behaviors of the colors, the thoughts they inspire, and their relationship with human emotion in each piece that measures nearly 16-inches across.
