Art Aesthetics Magazine

Art Aesthetics Magazine began life on Instagram in 2015. We've since grown to encompass an online magazine with reviews, articles, and exclusive interviews on established, emerging, and yet unknown artists from across the world. Our mainstay remains criticism, specifically that of an academic bent.

It’s your last chance to see the works of Zhang Enli at @fortnums tomorrow! Read our review through the link in our bio to read more about his map-inspired paintings... #artaesthetics

In yet another example of a commercial luxury goods brand incorporating artists into their work, @montblanc have partnered with @philipcolbert for ‘In Transit’, a pop up store in Spitalfield Market, London

Passage from Virgin to Bride, Marcel Duchamp #artaesthetics

Marcel Duchamp Nude Descending a Staircase No.2 1912 ‘The challenge of how to represent three-dimensional movement engaged all three artists in the early and mid 1910s. While Cubism set out to depict an object as if it was being viewed from various angles, Duchamp sought to represent the subject itself in motion. His Nude Descending a Staircase, No.2 created a furore when it was exhibited in New York in 1913. This was partly because no one had previously thought of a ‘nude’ doing something as prosaic as coming down stairs. Duchamp saw movement as embracing not only physical but also emotional and social change, and he made several works on the theme of the ‘passage’ from virgin to bride.’ @tate, https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/duchamp-man-ray-picabia/explore-exhibition/room-3-movement #artaesthetics

Do you think Duchamp’s ready-mades are artworks? I’ve been thinking about these works a lot recently and wanted to get your thoughts. Please share your insightful comments about the works...! I’ll share my thoughts in the comments too... #artaesthetics

Cyclops, 2007 Deconstructed and reconstructed eyeglasses #JaimePitarch #artaesthetics

What are your thoughts on this piece? #JaimePitarch creates sculptures, drawings, videos and installations often using humble everyday objects such as a guitar, chair, or household and consumer products. He employs inventive strategies of displacement, re-contextualization and visual punning to peel away at their routine uses and meanings to alter our relationship with such utilitarian items. Pitarch describes his work as mainly having “… to do with the human being’s inability to identify with the structures he himself has created.” Having been stripped of their functionality, we are free to view them in the alternative narratives the artist provides. - @spencerbrownstonegallery Subject, object, abject, 2006 Modified wooden chair #JaimePitarch

What do you think of these inventive works by #JaimePitarch #artaesthetics

‘It is a risky move to commission a Chinese artist to create a series of works for such a British brand. Will it become tacky, like an ill-considered tattoo of a Chinese character on a shoulder blade, or a rushed piece of 18th-century export porcelain with caricatures of white people [2] - or could it manage to respect each represented party?’ Snippet from our latest article by @bjkbrocker on Zhang Enli X @fortnums Go through the link in our bio to read the article! #artaesthetics
