ECO ARRIVALS also picked up on my Artforum Excavations.
Francesca Pastine’s The ArtForum Excavation Series is seriously artistic
The NYC-born, San Francisco-based artist Francesca Pastine loves to
bring myriad landscapes, socio-political issues, feminine sensibilities
and peculiarly modernistic responsiveness to the fore through her
incomparable paintings. However, the artist has another knack for
creating remarkable artworks out of discarded magazines. The
ArtForum Excavation Series demonstrates magazine art in all its glory.
The sculptural pieces of art are created out of ARTFORUM magazine
pages. The artist neatly cuts around the paper, while making sure that
chosen book parts remain intact to reveal explicitly intricate artistic
patterns inside the frame. As Pastine puts it, her manipulations revolve
around the central theme of exploring “curious juxtapositions”.
Considering the fact that her X-acto blade is the only equipment that
helps her create her art, you will go into raptures over the final
versions.

Francesca Pastine’s exemplary magazine art:
