I love these so hard. Poured steel, hewn logs, hard edges and clean lines. Each piece dominates, Hilla Shamia knows how to forge wood in strikingly new directions.

We’re all beautiful on the inside. Rebecca Stevenson’s pastorally delicate resin sculptures concur.

I really like Teddy Roosevelt, a lot. That’s what makes this piece by Sharpwriter of Teddy Roosevelt taking it to Big Foot even more incredible in my book.
Resembling the webbing of a sci-fi parasite birthing itself from a milky primordial cereal bowl, Monika Grzymala’s tape installation bursts across a gallery hallway. Mimicking both organic and synthetic structures, her piece totes meaning like a 3 dimensional rorschach of maliciousness. It’s beautiful and terrifying, drawing you closer like a gull to an oil slick, hypnotizing your fears away until it’s caught you in it’s web.

In Japanese culture, salt is an integral ingredient during rituals for the recently deceased. Artist Motoi Yamamoto, changed by the premature death of his sister, creates patterns of remarkable size and complexity using the sea borne seasoning. His labyrinths resemble trees, falling leaves, or an aerial view of suburbia. Each installation takes weeks to create, his choice of medium and the repeating nature of his work touches on the complex simplicity of life; a sense of interconnectedness amongst anonymity.

Incredibly arresting and fascinating wooden sculptures by Gerhard Lentink. His artful combination of the human form with playful puzzle motifs lends his pieces a childlike wonder or perhaps a learned isolation. Playing within the abstract, Lentink exposes the walls we build around ourselves and the loads we learn to carry.

I like skateboards. So does Japanese artist Haroshi. He makes dimensional art by carving discarded decks into colorful striations of form.
People like to know where their food comes from, even if they only bother to trace the line as far as to say Chick-Fil-A. But Mathilda Roussel’s living sculptures place us a little closer to the food cycle then most people would like to accept. Someday I’ll feed the plants, then the plants will feed you.

It’s hard to understand why smoking is considered attractive. The smell follows you endlessly, it’s costly, and best of all it kills you. Frieke Janssens series, “Smoking Kids,” portrays children puffing away at their favorite vice in various cutting garb of the past. Ripe with visual commentary on the fuss many have raised over the spree of smoking bans popping up around the globe, Janssens series recalls us back to the real reason.
