My favourite book of the year : "Russian-born Vania Zouravliov’s surreally haunting illustrations capture a mixture of innocence, brutality, beauty and decay. Inspired by a diverse range of influences, Vania draws inspiration from sources as seemingly opposite as Russian romantic folklore, Japanese illustration and pop culture. His resulting drawings are elaborately composed and demonstrate the technical brilliance of an old master. In artworks that often depict beautiful women involved in macabre or erotic scenes, Vania’s intense emotional style evokes a nostalgia rooted in the artist’s Russian background and attributed to the imagery of Russian silent and art house movies. His dark motifs are intricately layered and full of powerful symbolism, often with sadomasochistic references, that are both provocative and sensitive and which represent the vulnerable relationship between innocence and affliction. As the first monograph on the artist’s work, this publication presents the expansive scope of an exceptional talent. As a prodigy in his homeland, Vania has exhibited internationally since the age of thirteen, and has continued to produce a vast range of work for both commercial clients and as an independent artist."

I'd say it's a definite pick up rhino. Mike is absolutely right in what he says. A couple of years inthe making, and the couple of interviews I've read so far are top notch. Very well researched and compiled. I pre ordered mine a while back on amazon, where the have a good discount deal currently.

Divination and Delusion.....Kris Kuksi....can't wait to get this one. I am also getting this book. This is the closest I will ever get to owning one of his pieces. Plus it seems so much easier to move around than one of his actual pieces. I would be so afraid to break his artwork every time I moved.

Looking forward to the new David Choe book being put out by Chronicle Books... meaning that it'll be less than $40 on Amazon...

My friend Patrick is in LA this week for the west coast launch of the book he recently co-edited. Despite my obvious bias, "Beyond the Street" is a wonderful book, and is one that should be in every art lover's collection. right after the launch event and signing at subliminal projects on thursday 16th september is the opening for shepard fairey's new exhibition, printed matters. a whole bunch of artists and contributors to the book will be there for the signing event. it's sure to be a busy night, but it would be nice if some of the LA artchival members could go and support the event and say hi to Patrick.
