Current Issue: Winter 2025 Quarterly #232

Juxtapoz is excited to announce our WINTER 2025 Quarterly, the fifth and final in a series of special issues celebrating our 30th anniversary as an independently published art and culture magazine. And for the WINTER issue, we feature New York-based painter Clayton Schfif on the cover, highlighting a painting from his solo show Routing on view in Los Angeles earlier in 2024. 

In an era where the digital realm overtakes the cognitive landscape and humanity seems on the brink of a renaissance, the paradox of futurism intertwined with remnants of the past remains more alive than ever. This has been on our minds this year, and our Winter issue tackles this head on. Artists like Amanda Ba and Clayton Schiff dive into the contradiction, crafting visions where clarity and obscurity dance between what is and what was. Anthony Cudahy's latest works, a vivid dialogue between memory and foresight, capture this sentiment beautifully. Through his depictions, we see figures that hover like ethereal spirits—tethered to history yet yearning for the uncharted future. His brushstrokes whisper a bygone era, refracted through the prism of contemporary consciousness in eerie yet familiar resonance. Anastasia Bay, a painter of art historical origins and a contemporary voice, conceived her latest work as an opera, with music and costumes that evoke a timelessness of Black Mountain College-era collaborative performances between sound, sight and movement.

And then we look at the unique relationship of 30 years of graffiti in London through the friendship and bond of 10FOOT, TOX and FUME. Graffiti is the earliest form of art; the act of writing on walls is literally as old as humanity itself. It's as if these vibrant strokes and cryptic tags are timeless tales inscribed on the canvas of urban sprawl, reminiscent of how ancient hieroglyphs speak of long-gone civilizations. The pulsating rawness of these street expressions reminds us that, no matter how futuristic our milieu becomes, our narratives are grounded in origins, rebellion, and the timeless spirit of dissent.

The new Juxtapoz format is back to its original style, 8.5" x 11" with an increase in content at 160 pages.
