Sebastian Errazuriz

I enjoyed pieces by the Chilean born artist Sebastian Errazuriz, found on acidolatte's blog. I personally enjoy his pieces that reference to a contradiction between life and death.

I also enjoyed his Kyrptonite piece. Before reading his short biography, I enjoyed his use of universally known figures such as the figure of Jesus Christ and using pop culture references like the superman cape. I later read that he "seeks to create works that can remind people of their mortality, invite them to look again at their lives and question at their daily routines." I like this piece very much. 

The Beaches of Agnus vs Rene Magritte's The Lovers

Found this on dailyserving.com.  This still comes from the film "The Beaches of Agnes" which took place in Agnes Varda's courtyard.  I cant help and make the comparison from Rene Magritte's  The Lovers, 1928. I've read that Magritte's paintings of The Lovers was a reaction to the death of his mother. He saw her been pulled out of a river with her dress wrapped around her head as she drowned to death. I don't think the same meaning holds for the above photo. It is interesting to see how similar two things may be that have absolutely nothing in common.
