Kelsey Brookes

"Kelsey Brookes is an artist of contrasts. His well-documented background in microbiology, surf culture and folk art combine in explosive prisms of raucous color, bold imagery and timeless motifs. Raw and un-tethered, his vibrant, mixed-media assemblages reveal a free-flowing aesthetic that’s altogether energetic, sexual and humorous. Each work is a microcosm of life itself, where smiley-faced characters and wild animals cavort with abstract forms and splices of color to form something infinitely complex and visually joyful." http://www.kelseybrookes.com/

Zhou Fan

"A series of my paintings is based on dreams that I had as a child of many many jellyfish floating in the sky, some of which fell to the ground on parachures and became mushrooms. These dreams had a strong impact on me, and I remember them vividly. Somehow I feel that it is easier to focus on dreams than reality. In one particular painting, there is a boy crying because he keeps things within him, is easily sad, and he refuses to face reality."

Michael Hansmeyer

"These insanely detailed (somewhere between 8 and 16 million polygonal faces) cardboard columns were created by Michael Hansmeyer using subdivision algorithms and other words I don't understand. Made of thousands of layers of individual laser-cut sheets of cardboard, they look like a conceptual computer rendering but are actually real, functional objects that can support real weight." http://michael-hansmeyer.com/

Monica Canilao

"The only constant in my life has been that I've always wanted to be creating, building, drawing, altering. My art practice is a way to generate a personal and living history." http://www.monicacanilao.com/
