Absurd Scenarios Stretch Across Paco Pomet’s Uncanny Canvases
From figures with multiple legs and noodles for arms to frolicking trees, Paco Pomet summons the absurd. Known for his uncanny oil paintings rendered mostly in monochrome and enlivened by colorful details of overly stretchy limbs or celestial objects, a sense of nostalgia greets surreal scenarios. The artist often derives his imagery from vintage black-and-white photographs, adding an absurd dimension to history.
Pomet’s work is currently on view in a solo exhibition titled Planet Circus at Richard Heller Gallery, which continues through February 14 in Santa Monica. See more on the artist’s Instagram.

Uncanny Personalities Appear from Nature in Malene Hartmann Rasmussen’s Ceramics
In her uncanny visages and sculptures, Malene Hartmann Rasmussen taps the ceramic medium as a form of make-believe. Surreal folkloric creatures take on absurd, sometimes cartoonish personalities, assembled from disparate plants and critters or reflecting characterful, mask-like qualities.
In Rasmussen’s playfully monstrous “Egg-head,” for example, silly antics are equally unsettling—what’s in its mouth? Where is the rest of its body? And “Inner Beast #10” gives a disgusted side-eye that’s open to interpretation. What does it find so offensive?

Knockdown, Flatpack Adjustable Children's Furniture Designed by Luigi Colani
As all parents know, children rapidly outgrow both clothing and furniture. In the 1970s, Luigi Colani designed this plywood Tobifant furniture set, which could grow in height along with the child.
Colani designed it to not only be flatpacked, but to be utterly easy to assemble. The joinery consists of simple wedged tenons.
The set went into production in the late 1970s, by West German children's furniture brand Kinderlübke. Today you can still find surviving examples on vintage reseller sites.
