Excerpt from page 8
wake up
wake your body
it has rested enough
it is time to see

we will never grow older

New works from Scott Hove explore the concept of the End of Days. This upcoming exhibition entitled My Own Private Apocalypse, is a continuation of his ongoing ‘Cakeland’ theme. He is known for utilizing traditional cake decorating tools and techniques to render extremely realistic looking cakes with humorous pop culture references. These acrylic cakes are accessorized with decidedly un-cakelike items such as taxidermy jaws, hypodermic needles, plastic insects and other objects which counterbalance the typical sense of happiness and positive expectation associated with a delicious looking cake.

Just looking at these optical illusions by conceptual artist Philippe Ramette might give you a bit of vertigo. Without the use of Photoshop or any other image manipulation, Ramette seems to shift the perspective of the earth, turning it sideways or upside down. In his photos, Ramette dangles from cliffs, walks up stone walls and stands on balconies that jut out, improbably, from the surface of the sea.
But as the artist himself points out, if you look closely, you will see signs that all is not as it appears. “You see a tension in my hands, my red face is far from serene as the blood rushes to it, my suit is ruffled.” Ramette explores themes of gravity and man’s relationship to the landscape in his works, turning the earth into a strange playground where virtually anything is possible.
