Ji Lee's Little Worlds explore the power of discovery and how when the viewer finds these "little worlds"and they become theirs. They are like encountering a secrets or a parallel universe...they are pretty comical as well.

Hannes Grebin

Hannes Grebin cubist interpretations of German 70s furniture.

The respective original object shouldn’t be reduced just to absurdity. I rather “zeroed” its geometry or sometimes I only rearranged it. A precise assignment of functions of the resulting un-or non-forms is now only possible through their texture (fabric) or applications (fringes, patterns, lace doilies), which are radiating neatness and a certain familiarity in spite of the predominant geometric dissonance. This creates the very disturbing effect of these. Despite its fractal and asymmetric geometry the furniture perfectly meet the demands of ergonomics. Thus I wanted to erupt from the everlasting symmetry of furniture.

Annika Nordenskiöld

Annika Nordenskiöld's lamps makes me want to make one out of clay. Her's must weigh a ton made out of cement.

Augustina Woodgate

Augustina Woodgate makes rugs and wall pieces out of cut up teddy bears and stuffed animals. They remind me of Nick Cave's wall pieces.

Eric Mark Sandburg

Eric Mark Sandburg's "Hairy Children Portriats" are hilarious.

Nick Van Woert

Nick Van Woert is a Brooklyn based artist. Modernizes the classical work of many of the greats by cutting, dipping, spraying them with plastics, resins, gum, paint and expandable foam. I really enjoy the freedom in these pieces they appear to look like he had a lot of fun making them.

Annie Collinge

Annie Collinge is a Brooklyn based artist. She born 1980 in London, England and studied at Central Saint Martins and Brighton University. Her portraits have a strange beauty to them in their awkwardness and saturated color.
