About Tijmen's graduation project 'OOPS'
"I created five monumental prints that focus on the physical sensation of mishaps. Nobody’s smart enough to know their own stupidity. Nobody’s careful enough to avoid their own oops moment either. Physical folly is a trap we all fall into. In this sense it makes us equals. Besides embarrassing ourselves, these accidents are often a source of hilarity. Through these blown-up, bright images of clumsiness, I force the viewer to positively identify themselves with the depictions."
Paolo Del Toro's gigantic felted masks. The expressions on their faces, the way mythical themes are translated to felty faces. On top of that, most masks can actually be worn. It's a technique that is usually abused by suburban moms making tiny dogs for a hobby. But Del Toro's work completely negates that stigma and he makes it his own completely. I haven't seen anything quite like it.
