Artnet News: Japanese Artist Teiji Hayama Distorts Pop Icons In Uncanny Paintings

Artist Teiji Hayama has developed a unique creative process wherein he leverages the pop culture, digital media, and traditional painting together, resulting in images that are at once filled with highly recognizable iconography yet remain decidedly foreign. On view through February 11, 2025, Hayama’s solo exhibition “Million Eyes” is on view in New York with Allouche Gallery, offering visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the artist’s creative and uncanny world. The works featured in “Million Eyes” allow viewers to not only gain insight into Hayama’s distinctive artistic practice, but psychologically engage with and reflect on the power of images, particularly

Surface Magazine: Ben Evans Illustrates Poolside Melodrama

At once playful and plaintive, the ascendant painter’s cartoonish rendition of a tennis match gone awry captures a scenic snapshot of sun-soaked surrealism. Here, we ask an artist to frame the essential details behind one of their latest works. An interesting feature that’s not immediately noticeable: Maybe the lack of tennis being played—no tennis ball in sight. I like the idea of them getting all dressed up to smoke a Marlboro Gold in a semi-surreal, pale green tennis court landscape. I stay in a realm of cartoon-ized imagery that exists in between reality and fantasy—kind of the strangeness of a manufactured

Juxtapoz Magazine: The Eyes Are Everywhere: Paul Insect Can “Seeyou”

When past Jux cover artist Paul Insect began to work on eyes, there seemed to be a breakthrough. As an artist who started in both design and working on the street, having eyes on your work is both a gift and curse. On the street, you want the best spots and the most eyes to see your work, but also you don’t want the wrong eyes stopping you in the process. The eyes of the law is pervasive. Of course as a painter and designer, the eye is vital. So, as you can see, literally, we are talking about eyes and London’s
