Adonna Khare (USA) - Elephants, ArtPrize 2012
Raised in a small town in Iowa, Adonna Khare has been drawing her family and animals since she was three. Adonna creates using the pencil, the eraser and a sock as her tools. The drawings are not pre-planned rather they evolve through her experiences with people and the absurdities of life. The result is a group of drawings where the animals coexist in a world beyond ours, and are inexplicably tied together, often not by choice. Through the work Adonna hopes to inspire adults and children to allow their imaginations to envelop them into a world other than their own. Within the work are hundreds of vignette’s, featuring creatures juxtaposed with ordinary events. Viewers are encouraged to spend time discovering the work as it unfolds foot by foot story by story.

While Mia Brownell’s paintings may recall classical Vanitas, her food-based compositions invoke contemporary food politics. A critic of the food industrial complex, Brownell creates a juxtaposition between the natural and artificial, modeling her opulent still lifes after molecular structures. Read more on Hi-Fructose.
