Many of us have trouble sleeping in an unfamiliar place, like a hotel, or a friend’s house for the first time. When we finally do get to sleep, it’s often fidgety and disturbed. New research shows that one hemisphere of our brain stays more active during the first night of sleep—and it does so to keep us ready for trouble. It’s a phenomenon scientists refer to as the “first-night-effect.” A neuroimaging study by Brown University researchers reveals that, under these “first night” conditions, one hemisphere of the brain stays alert. “This half-asleep, half-awake state may work as a way to monitor unfamiliar surroundings,” study co-author Masako Tamaki told Gizmodo. The paper has just been published in Current Biology . Some marine mammals and birds exhibit a more pronounced form of this “ unihemispheric ” sleep. In dolphins and whales, one hemisphere shuts down during sleep while the other remains partially active. This allows the dolphins to sleep, and still surface to take...

Paula Rego is a Portuguese artist known for her paintings and prints which are often based on children’s folktales. Among her most famous works are her  Dog Women paintings, a playful series depicting a magical realist world where women behave as dogs. Rego’s work is heavily influenced by Surrealist artists like Joan Miró , though gradually her paintings have become more realistically rendered with similarities to the work of the painter Balthus in their strong, clear drawing style and depictions of women in strange or unsettling situations. Born on January 26, 1935 in Lisbon, Portugal, she went on to study in London at the Slade School of Fine Art. Rego’s work can be found in the collections of the National Gallery in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Tate Gallery in London, among others. She continues to live and work in London, England.  Paula Rego is a relevant artist for my research, she bases some of her work on children's folktales, w...

Shani Rhys James’ new exhibition is called ‘I paint therefore I am’ – a phrase which is an assertion of the artist’s existence in the world that also reflects the repeated use of her own face in her paintings. Rhys James does indeed paint; paint is primary, it is thick, luscious, pigment rich. Red, black and white predominate. And acid green; an almost unreal, alien green that shoots rocket-like from a glass vase, or curls in snake-like tendrils bearing up bright flower heads or bowing under their weight. But to say those greens are not naturalistic is to miss the point, Rhys James’ paintings are not about representation. These paintings are about paint. They are about the performance of paint and the action of the artist applying paint to the canvas.  The subject, or rather the non-subjective subject is paint. Not flowers, although clearly there are flowers. Not jugs, though there are jugs. Nor is the subject the self portrait, though again, these are there too, in abundance....
