Hardly anyone perceives icons as painting, creativity, art. As well as a pectoral cross - as an accessory, decoration. These religious attributes are considered something like talismans, amulets and are never displayed. The walls in the house are not decorated with icons, church crosses are not worn over evening dresses like a necklace … Unusual paintings by a Japanese artist Teiji hayama look like an intermediate link between icon painting and art. At least the religious theme runs through all of his works. This author's unusual work is said to have managed to combine Western and Eastern culture, as well as various historical periods of art, including icon painting, Greek mythology, modern Japanese pop culture and Ukiyo-E. To be honest, I'm not sure about Japanese culture and Greek mythology, but Christian icon painting is easy to guess by the characteristically painted eyes: this is how our saints look from our icons.
Although modern Japanese pop culture has certainly inspired the author with the idea of exposing his characters, showing the contemplator a neat girlish chest. This detail is present in almost every picture and does not fit in somewhat with the image of a meek and humble novice with an aura over her head. But this is the vision of a modern icon from Teiji Hayama …
Unusual pseudo-icons are born by the author not only thanks to canvas and oil. Many works are made in gouache and pastel on homemade paper, acrylics on fabric, and are also presented in the form of installations from different materials. All this can be seen either at exhibitions or on the website of the author, Japanese artist Teiji Hayama.

"Edible" collages: a series of photographs on culinary themes
According to a series of photographs by Jean-François de Witte, the whole world is not a theater, but at best a theater buffet. And man does not contemplate the drama of life, but absorbs the benefits of civilization. Have you noticed that nowadays the epithet “tasty” is increasingly being used to award something that has nothing to do with food? This is how ridiculous “tasty colors” and even “delicious new music” appear (this is how he tempts to quote A. Voznesensky: “Don't touch the music with your hands!”). A series of photographs by the Belgian Jean-Francois de Witte, pr
