Sharon Gordon’s landscapes are inspired by the elements. Her bold colors and lush strokes evoke a dreamy vision through a blurred lens. Below, she describes her process, inspiration, and what being an artist means to her. KA: Why art? What was your first experience with art and when did you realize you wanted to…
Henry Hu is a Hong Kong-bred artist based in Sydney, Australia. The feature image is called “Boy With a Bone (Pointing Edges)”. His digital artwork plays with color, shape, and atmosphere. The images seem to have a sound, texture, and taste, and represent his life’s stories without words. Here’s more on what he has to say about his…
Fox Sinclair is as agile and elegant as her namesake. A Louisiana transplant who moved to LA in 2012, she’s now an up-and-coming musician and dancer about to break the sound barrier. Inspired by the soulful blues of the South and hip-hop beats of Europe, her influences meld to form her unique sound. Fox is…
First thing you notice about Anastasiya Lazurenko is a contrast of her delicate, frail frame and the sharpness of her manner. I enter a surreal scene in one of the photographer’s abodes – she splits her time between India, Russia, Ukraine and the UK. “Home? What is it? This concept is as meaningless as a…
He is a Puck. A charming, dexterous dare-devil of a man. At the airport our small talk turns naturally to the Swiss mountains: “My house is opposite the most beautiful female mountain in Switzerland”, he offers carelessly, leaving me to puzzle over gender. “It’s hard to explain, we learn these things at school.” He starts…

Daria Svertilova is a 19-year-old female photographer from Odessa, Ukraine. Using her camera, she paints portraits of modern youth with, for her age, an unusually serious consideration for form and content. “Young men” is a signature subject of Daria’s work. Captured with Daria’s clever eye on medium format film, a balance is struck between the…
Somehow, with 128,934 (current) followers since his first post 10 months ago, Joel Strong, creator of the ever-popular mydaywithleo Instagram, is a bit of a mystery. You can’t find him on Facebook; Google his name and you’re sure to scroll over thousands of “lil Leo” images until you’re suddenly in the weird corner of the…
Impermanence is about an idea that all the matter including all the life forms collapse in the spatial-temporal dimension we belong to. The idea was inspired by the second law of thermodynamics (entropy theory). I have found a beauty in it. By chance, I read an article [on] BBC online [in] 2010 about how fungus…
