Hypeart Visits: Asif Hoque On Capturing Light in His Spiritual Oil Paintings
On two recent trips, I found myself inside the cozy Brooklyn studio of the rising contemporary artist, Asif Hoque. The small yet inviting space was a sanctuary of creativity, filled with studies, sketches and books that traced the life and career of the young artist. Asif, a multifaceted artist whose work transcends boundaries and infuses life into the canvas, welcomed me with enthusiasm as we journeyed through his illuminating world of art.As I stepped into Asif's studio, I was immediately struck by the vivid paintings that adorned the walls. The radiant colors and intricate details seemed to transport me to a realm where imagination and reality intertwined seamlessly. Each piece bore the distinctive mark of Asif's surrealist and conceptualist style, reflecting his deep connection to natu...
Golf Ages Like Whiskey at Portmarnock Resort
There’s a word in Danish called hygge, perhaps you’ve heard it. But if not, it loosely translates to a feeling of coziness brought on during the winter months by lighting candles, wearing fleece and drinking whiskey. Now hygge might be a Danish word, but it’s a concept that anyone who’s lived somewhere cold for a significant period of time can relate to. As it just so happened, we were in Ireland a few weeks ago, where the clocks had just been set back an hour and seasonal depression threatened to rear its ugly head. Luckily though, the Hibernians are not just experts in craic (the Gaelic word for a good time), but they’re also quite well versed in hygge, even if they don’t realize it. Barrel aged whiskey, dinner by the fire, warm hospitality and seaside golf was more than enough to keep u...

Time Warp Is Throwing It Back to Techno’s Heydays
From Detroit to Budapest, each major city has its own distinct style of techno but no country embraces the genre quite like Germany. It’s an affinity rooted in history, particularly around the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, when West Germans were once again emboldened to host parties after years of governmental suppression.

Time Warp, a traveling music festival, is out to set the record straight by inviting international audiences to experie...
