Hypeart Visits: Mía Lee Transforms Her Dreams and Nightmares Into Frantic Cartoon Characters

Inspiration often strikes at the most impromptu moments. For Chicago-born artist, Mía Lee, it almost always occurs in the dead of night. “I’m very comfortable in my discomfort and nightmares,” she tells Hypeart. While most people either forget to transcribe or run away from understanding the strange subconscious nuances that arise in our sleep, Lee sees it as “the most vivid” opportunity to understand her life. In this way, dreams and nightmares have naturally become the foundation to her burgeoning art practice, which can be defined as large acrylic paintings of cartoon characters that loosely signify her family’s history, as well as the cultural communities she’s connected to — from television to fashion to sneaker culture.As an associate creative director for Robot, The Springhill Compa...

Waxing Poetic ‘Bout Being in the Lexus TX 500h F Sport AWD

How do you determine an automotive brand's cultural significance? That's a wide-reaching question, one without a cut-and-dried answer, but one way of replying is to list its hip-hop name-drops. And by that metric, Lexus is in the pop culture pantheon: it's been name-checked by everyone from The Notorious B.I.G. to Ye, Snoop Dogg and JAY-Z (whose 2017 cut "Smile" included a bar that was paraphrased for this article's title). There's a certain vibe, one of elevated-yet-streetwise taste and quality, associated with a new Lexus, and it's on full display through the TX 500h F Sport AWD, one-third of the brand's TX offering.A new range that began production in November 2023 and sits between the RX and LX lines, the TX line offers a standard model, a plug-in hybrid electric iteration, and a TX Sp...

A Closer Look at the 2024 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

During an exclusive invite to the Land Rover House in Park City, Utah, we got some personal time with the 2024 Range Rover Sport and its more exclusive Park City Edition brethren. For starters, the Range Rover Sport – which was announced in 2022 – is arguably the perfect sized SUV for everything. Naturally, its setting of Park City, Utah, helped us to understand that, as it was more than capable in the snowy atmosphere hauling all of our ski gear while also catering to our Après-ski lifestyle needs. Our Dynamic SE model arrived in Ostuni Pearl White and had just a hint of colorful metallic fleck showing, offset by black trim pieces and the subdued 22" Satin Dark Grey Style 5127 wheels which we gravitated towards naturally. Pops of color at the Land Rover badge and the sexy, thin rear tail ...
