Street Art by Liquen

Street artist from Spain who decorates walls in spectacular manner. His style oscillates between street art and illustration with a lot of talent. Some poetic and committed creations, monochrome or full of colors, illustrating his thoughts on the relationship between man, nature and our society. His signature is made of smooth lines, unique imagery, and clever concepts. It brings into play symbols of Western culture, and much of the civilized world. His work, although it can verge on the absurd and even a little demented and sick, plays with allegory.

Collages by Finnish visual artist - Ulla Jokisalo

Ulla Jokisalo is a visual artist whose photography-based works are generally collage-like and physical. Her works of art includes photographs, unique paper cutouts, needle punctures and embroidery.  

Jokisalo’s artworks have their own grammar. Right from the start, she has created her own language, whose elements include scissors, needles, pins, threads, gloves, mirrors, eyes, hair and hands sewing. Over the decades, her vocabulary has taken on new meanings and the different parts of speech have begun to form networks of meanings. 

If they are old and well-used, scissors have a powerful emotional charge. They are individuals like people are, and have their own visible history. Scissors are also an aesthetically interesting object. The first time scissors appear in my pictures is at the beginning of the 1980s

Optical Float Paintings Suspended in Layers of Glass by Wilfried Grootens

Artist Wilfried Grootens paints extraordinary figures comprised of dots and tendrils sandwiched between dozens of laminate glass layers. These strangely precise optical float paintings take on the form of some fantastic microscopic creatures and are sometimes reminiscent of the photos depicting the milliseconds before a nuclear explosion. The design of each cube is so precise, the thin layers of paint appear to completely vanish when viewed from a side angle.

At the age of 15 Grootens first apprenticed as a glass painter at the Derix Company in Germany where he learned to restore antique stained glass windows. Four years later he left on a near decade-long adventure to travel the world, play music, and experience the cultures of Asia and South America before eventually returning to his work with glass. In 1988, he received a Master Craftsman’s Diploma in Munich and by the following year had opened his own studio in Kleve.   Thanks Colossal

Grootens will have work at the upcoming SOFA Expo Chicago through Habatat Galleries starting November 5th.
