Psychopaths are usually depicted as serial killers or villains in the entertainment industry. They are antisocial yet powerful, often display threats and put others at peril. How much of this impression is true under the definition of a psychopath? Here are six characteristics of a psychopath: Lack of empathy: Psychopaths are callous and coldhearted.

And is it necessary for us to get emotionally and mentally drained before we start to think about our own happiness? I understand that sometimes it’s hard for us to face problems in the relationship that we have invested and treasured a lot. It’s not always easy to remember who you are and what you want from the relationship. We might put up a lot of excuses and reasons for people who hurt us because simply picturing the life without them makes our heart ache.

In her sculptures (as well as installations, photographs, and films), Kwade occupies herself with the structural properties of everyday objects. Common materials of little to no value such as glass, wood, and copper are transformed via elaborate, alchemical operations. Through these physical shifts, Kwade proposes new meaning and value.  Alicja Kwade lives and works in Berlin.

Surreal art by Jacub Gagnon Jacub Gagnon is a Canadian artist who was born in 1987. He graduated with a BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD) in 2009. Currently practicing as an artist in Toronto, he creates images that question and entertains the discussion of connectivity. I present animals and objects in bizarre manners, placing them in scenes that oppose practicality. My paintings become a space in which nature becomes unnatural, bordering surreal. On April 1st, Thinkspace Gallery will be opening Short Stories , their third solo show from Jacub Gagnon in their Culver City space. His Facebook.
