“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.”
-Maurice Sendak

While the Italian artist Matteo Massagrande may have all the skill and technique of an old master, but there is something far less romantic about his work – and for that reason, there is something far more interesting about it too. His series of empty interiors is one which is particularly striking. His blunt depiction of empty apartments is filled with desolation, and the feeling of emptiness that he creates is almost existential.
Capturing these spaces in their own unique moments of deterioration, these private rooms have now reached their end. These spaces, which were once full of life, have now become little more then four walls. Massagrande paintings feel like commemorations to these rooms – not celebrations. His cynical depictions are realized with beautiful subtle colors and a stunning sense of light. Despite his talents, these images are not impressive swan songs to moments past, instead they feel far more like we are sharing the final intimate moments of a room and catching a final haunted glimpse at the fleeting beauty that remains.

Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira’s incredible installations look like giant overgrown tumors or roots that are slowly taking over the spaces they inhabit breaking through doors, walls, floors, and ceilings. Created out of splintered and discarded plywood Oliveira’s creations look like three dimensional wooden patchwork quilts that are taking over every nook and cranny they can, never stopping to ask for permission or directions.
How to cope with reality.
