Greg Patch
The colorfast “beeswax colors” Greg uses are made in Germany. The carefully selected food container safe pigments are based on Goethe’s color wheel. There is a wave in the landscape,” he explains, "where the movement is behind our eyes and before our eyes in lines, shapes, forms and color. It is in our memories and […]
The Lv Xiaoââ¬âAmateur and Responsibility
Art isn’t formulaic speculation, nor is it the suffocation of a restricted circle, even less is it a game to be played among the nouveau riche or soon to be nouveau riche. Art must be concerned with people. What the artist needs is a consciousness of people. The Lv Xiao is a self-organized internet community […]
Justin William Lin
My current work “Couples” attempts to address a series of questions about self-representation, the private versus public experience, and the ephemeral nature of control in a series of large-scale photographic autoportraits. In my experience shooting fashion and other commercial photography, I became fascinated by roles played both by myself as the photographer/director and that of […]
On the Work of Deng Jianjin – Peng De, Li Xianting and Huang Zhuang
Deng Jianjin painted all his images with knotty strokes. Thanks to the sense of connection between a knotty look and a morose mood, the painter has been able to express his inner desolation through knotty strokes. This style was commonly seen in traditional Chinese scholarly paintings as a result of the early aesthetical development in […]

Halong-Kellong is comprised of a three hand truck imprinted with a Harley-Davidson style logo. Each work […]

Awkwardness, Vulnerability or Confidence – Angela Wieland
My favorite subject matter is people, and specifically, people doing what they naturally do. When I first moved to New York, I was strictly a behind-the-scenes photojournalistic type of photographer, having been mainly into documenting what was happening around me or what I excitingly stumbled upon, predominantly in the music community and on the streets, […]
Curious Cutlery – Whitney May
Grappling with an over-active imagination isn’t always easy, but artist Amy Cutler manages to make the feat appear at once effortless and well worth the try. With her drawing and gouache on paper fabrications, Cutler first establishes elaborate alternative frameworks of reality and culture and follows up by throwing women and girls of every age […]
Lori Earleyââ¬â¢s Art Couture – Debra Anderson
For artist Lori Earley, painting what is beautiful comes both from inspiration within and from the outside world of cutting-edge fashion. Inspired by the imagination of high-end fashion icons such as Alexander McQueen or the exotic wardrobes of Jennifer Nicholson, Earley’s stunning portraits of esoteric women evoke mood and form as equally poignant and delicate […]
