Lee Jin Ju

"Life wanders, but memories remain"; from the artist's note.

'an old midday'

Korean artist Lee Jin ju's paintings are curious and strange. Floating little landscapes scattered with objects reborn from negative memories and events. Her paintings are soft and delicate, a lot of things seem to be out of place and incomplete. Her Quest to figure out in what  way memories survive or what the boundaries are between memories, dreams and conscience, is recorded in these extraordinary paintings.

Dominic Rouse


Contemporary photographer Dominic Rouse, born in England, creates monochrome digital compositions. After a short career as a press photographer, he returned to college studying commercial and advertising photography.
By deconstructing and reconstructing the human form he creates interesting, fantasy images with a bit  of a baroque feel.
Dominic; "It’s really a waste of time for me to spend hours meticulously lighting and composing each shot, because I have so much more control in the computer." (sic)
In his statement Dominic Rouse says; "Morality is a disease peculiar to humans and at its worst human life is not tragic but unmeaning."
