More Finger Paintings and a Video from Troilo http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/more-finger-paintings-and-a-video-from-troilo http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/more-finger-paintings-and-a-video-from-troilo More Finger Paintings and a Video from Troilo
This morning we bring you some more finger paintings and a process video from Milan-based artist Troilo. Troilo tries to express the uncomfortable condition of being trapped in a void where the rules of society don't apply. There are no dresses, colors, or objects, and we are liberated from useless accessories. His style developed one day, when attempting to translate his drawings into paintings. He found himself using his fingers when he couldn't find any brushes.

Francesca Pasquali's 3D Straw Sculptures http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/francesca-pasqualis-3d-straw-sculptures http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/francesca-pasqualis-3d-straw-sculptures Francesca Pasquali's 3D Straw Sculptures
Italian artist Francesca Pasquali cuts plastic draws at varying lengths and arranges them in patterns to create her sculptures. The seemingly simple concept results in a visually captivating and textured landscape. Francesca relates her work with plastic to ideas in the natural world saying, "Observing nature itself, I transfer the essential being of it. The interlacing forms transform the industrial material into soft and sensual shapes."

The Oil and Watercolor Works by Silvia Pelissero http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/the-oil-and-watercolor-works-by-silvia-pelissero http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/the-oil-and-watercolor-works-by-silvia-pelissero The Oil and Watercolor Works by Silvia Pelissero
Or should we say, the works of Agnes Cecile, because Silvia goes by that moniker as well. We are very much into the works of the Italian artist this morning, who was born in Rome in 1991. The works drip and bleed onto figurative characters, with almost rainbow blasts and dreams come to life. We like how some of the works have that double-exposure effect to them.
