Looking to bust the Monday blues? Then we recommend diving into the brand new issue of Elephant! Inside, you’ll find—among many other things—an exploration of the ways in which “the human form haunts even abstract art”. Included is the wonderful work of Donna Huanca (seen here). The Bolivian-American artist’s raw and physical paintings are created “by thrusting human forms against their surfaces,” the accompanying feature explains. “These canvases are often displayed during live performances, accompanied by nude dancers coated in chalky streaks of the soft blues and whites she uses, their bodies functioning as both paintbrush and surface.” Purchase Issue 47 here to read on.
