    hifructosemag: While he has often been compared to Bosch for his busy compositions filled with heavy symbolism, Dan Quintana (interviewed in our current issue, Hi-Fructose Vol. 27) created a new series of stripped-down paintings and charcoal drawings for his upcoming solo show at San Francisco’s Varnish Fine Art, “Zero Instruments.” Wispy bodies seem to blow away like clouds of dust in the new series. In most of the pieces, Quintana decided to zero in on an isolated subject, each one inspired by a different musical or anatomical instrument. The figures — often beautiful women — appear to be haunted by the spirits of death, unable to escape their imminent mortality. Take a look at some of the works in the show below and see “Zero Instruments” at Varnish Fine Art May 25 – June 29.

    Unfortunately my piece printed out really dark, so I am posting it here.

    So yesterday I grew a pair and decided to make a comment on a popular artist’s DA about how insulting it is to see American Indian and First Nation cultures being interpreted incorrectly in art. I’m happy to say she took it well, but I know not everyone will.

    Anywho, from now on, informing artists on distasteful and incorrect representations of our culture will be my personal contribution to Idle No More. Honestly I know informing artists about our feeling on the matter is not the prime goal of the movement, but see it as an opportunity to educate, inform and to not “idly” let that kind of thing slide.

    I wrote a journal entry expressing my goal here http://comaeorth.deviantart.com/

    I hope Natives happening across this post to will do the same if there is a need to.
