Socks

Danish artist Rose Eken is a woman after our own hearts with her beautiful, off-kilter renditions of real life objects. Working out of her studio in Copenhagen, Rose uses ceramics to re-create the familiar objects and tableaux of modern life, and the things we surround ourselves with.

She takes seemingly boring, everyday objects like coffee cups, cigarettes, food and clothing, and freezes them in time. We suddenly realise in looking at Rose’s work, that these so-called banal objects which she focusses on are actually instilled with meaning, memories and narratives that are often held quite close...

After the release of their first EP ‘Cusp’, they’ve savoured high praise and rotation on the iTunes charts, millions of plays on Spotify and...

“Earth's first colony on a not-so-distant planet has been inhabited for just over five years. The residents within have made great progress, but with no return trip in sight, it is easy to feel lonely and homesick.”

Melbourne-based artist and illustrator Ashley Ronning has a new solo show opening this week and, oh boy, judging by that introduction it’s going to be out of this world.

In No Place Like Space, Ashley is taking us on a time warp back to the 70’s to examine what humankind’s first colony in space may...

Shota Nakamura is a Japanese artist living and working in Berlin. He’s a painter, but we’ve been really taken with his loose, organic pencil renderings from the past couple of years. Inspired by nature and landscapes, for us Shota’s expressive works rustle up a deep feeling of familiarity and warmth. Since graduating from Musashino Art University in 2011, Shota has been showing his works in Japan and Germany. His exhibitions and collaborations with also happen to be with the likes of the creative guys at Kinfolk and some of Tokyo’s coolest bookstores.
