A surreal fusion of contemporary photography and AI techniques by Duncan Rawlinson, capturing vibrant lotus flowers floating on a digital ocean, exploring the boundaries of latent space. Is this glass? Is reality melting? Where are we? "Liminality" highlights the innovative blend of reality and artificial intelligence, creating a striking visual art piece that merges photography with digital manipulation to explore new artistic frontiers.
Flora Yukhnovich’s Lipstick, Lip Gloss, Hickeys Too (2022) captures the viewer’s imagination with its vibrant, gestural brushwork and layered references that blend historical art and contemporary pop culture. On view at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., this large oil-on-linen painting invites visitors into a world of swirling textures—sometimes buttery and creamy, other times thick and watery—that transform the canvas into a dynamic dance of movement and stillness.
Yukhnovich, born in Norwich, England in 1990, draws inspiration from 17th and 18th-century French Rococo painting, a style once dismissed as frivolous and overly feminine. Through her intentionally chaotic compositions and rosy pastel palette, she reclaims Rococo’s lushness, acknowledging its historical ties to femininity while challenging traditional notions of art history.
In this particular painting, Yukhnovich connects the watery landscapes of Rococo with the myth of Venus’ birth—Cronus’ act of castrating Uranus led to Venus emerging from the foaming sea, a moment often depicted in art history. Here, Yukhnovich’s brushwork and layered forms evoke both the tumultuous waters and the feminine energy associated with Venus, offering a sensual yet powerful reflection on eroticism and womanhood.
The contemporary resonance of Lipstick, Lip Gloss, Hickeys Too is undeniable. Its title is a lyric from Doja Cat’s song “Kiss Me More,” whose music video features the pop artist emerging from a shell as a modern-day Venus. Both Yukhnovich and Doja Cat reimagine this classical goddess through a 21st-century lens, reclaiming her image from male-dominated narratives.
Gifted by Iris and Adam Singer in honor of the Hirshhorn’s 50th anniversary, Yukhnovich’s painting embodies the museum’s commitment to contemporary voices and historical reexaminations. Visitors are encouraged to dive into the dynamic surface textures and discover their own connections between history, femininity, and popular culture.
"Digital Spring" by Duncan Rawlinson merges contemporary photography with artificial intelligence techniques, creating a mesmerizing scene where nature and technology converge. The image showcases vivid pink blossoms intertwined with cascading lights, set against a mysterious and futuristic backdrop. The intricate details and vibrant colors highlight the seamless integration of photographic artistry and AI-driven creativity, evoking a sense of wonder and sci-fi mystery.
This is a set of designs that I did in Visual Resource class for MIAD's fund raising event 'Creative Fusion'. My works weren't chosen, but they were ones of the running ups.
My concept is to represent the students of MIAD as the creative minds behind everything by showing the flow of creativity (via colorful ribbon) that flow into anonymous silhouette. My main purpose, however, is to do something beautiful.

Under a star-sprinkled expanse, where darkness unfurled its velvet mantle, there swirled an ocean of colors that had no name. Two entities, beings of light and shadow, with no form but that which the mind might give them, glided through the void. One, ablaze with the fiercest oranges and reds, flickered like the final defiant stand of daylight against the encroaching night. The other, a wraith in hues of the deepest blues, moved with the silent grace of the ocean's depths.
They were wanderers, separate and solitary, each on an aeon-long journey that had known neither beginning nor end. Until now. For as they drew near, a strange and wondrous phenomenon occurred. Their lights did not clash nor overpower; they entwined, a visual cadence, an artist’s unseen masterpiece drawn across the heavens.
The mingling of their essences painted new vistas upon the black. Where once was only the cold, unforgiving void, now swirled mists of potential, of worlds unborn and tales untold. They communicated not with sounds but with the very fibers of their beings, a sharing of experiences, memories, and the unquantifiable substance of their existence.
A traveler of the stars, if such a fortunate observer existed, might wonder at this spectacle. They might craft narratives of these beings’ origins, of their purpose and their end. But the truth, as it often is, would be far grander and more profound than any simple story.
For in this fleeting union, not bound by the tick of a clock nor the turn of a page, there was a knowledge that no words could capture, only the soul could comprehend. The traveler would understand then, that they had not merely witnessed an event; they had glimpsed a rare, unrepeatable moment—a conversation between the stars.
