Hi new followers-I'm a visual artist based in Paris (mostly) working in Asia several months/year. Currently researching Iberian & Ming dynasty tile painting for a 25sqm paper installation of blue jeans and white cotton t-shirts, in the form of azulejo tiles which will be exhibited in Macau, Nov '25.

I remember going with my parents (a surgeon and an anesthesiologist) to a museum in France filled with medieval era medical instruments, and when we got to the section on gynecological instruments they were shocked to see that what was used in the 1400s was basically what is used now. Thread.

Scottish artist Elizabeth Keith wrote of this woodblock print "Flower Street, Hong Kong" (c.1944): "A rather difficult one to print. I could not leave the printer to his own sweet will. I suppose that is why I had so few printed... There will never be a Flower Street like that again in Hong Kong"

For ARTnews, I looked into the four artworks by Pablo Picasso, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Diane Arbus now being auctioned online by the US government with connections to the 1MDB scandal. Three were gifted to Leonardo DiCaprio by Jho Low and one was forfeited by a producer of THE WOLF OF WALL STREET.

I am an artist in a film. I swan about the studio, covered in painted clothes while drinking wine with palette in hand, occasionally having my partner come over for an afternoon of wild sex. Exhibitions of my work happen with no effort; in fact the paint's typically wet when I hang them in a gallery

In the midst of the most banal Sunday afternoon, I receive news that someone close to me was in an accident, has a brain injury and broken bones, and they don't know if he'll wake up. The person they were with died. Life can slip away from us - just like that. Hold your loved ones close.

Why do we always talk about an event that happened now 36 years ago? Because authoritarian regimes function in part by erasing or rewriting history. The Chinese government still deny the Tiananmen Square Massacre happened. It did and we have to keep on saying as much until justice is served.

It's worth noting that while Indian students (331,602) outnumbered ones from China (277,398) for the first time in 15 years, students from China (42%) were the majority of international students enrolled in fine and applied arts programs in the US.

After years of wanting a steamer trunk in my life, I finally found one that fits the bill! From late 19th/early 20th century, it's in great condition. I will not be using it for clothing- at least for now. It's on rollers and will hold kitchen accessories as part of my mobile cuisine corner.
