I came across some delightful sculptures from artist Ryan Johnson that got me pretty excited. I’m very interested by these playful characters, full of dignified humor despite an almost laughably pathetic appearance. These guys remind me a little bit of Ed Kienholz’s work too, which is never a bad thing. Look after the jump for the ones who’ve got their feet stuck in buckets filled with concrete. Hilarious!
Crazy colorful work from NY based artist Nolan Hendrickson. These paintings posses a fantastical dreamlike quality and certainly feel bright and funny, but there is also something sinister that I can’t quite pinpoint. Then again, dreams end up being like that a lot of the time. I do love the idea of a woman with vibrant multi-colored hair, pink eyes, green hands, and blue skin… nothing sinister there, simply genius.

Here’s a beautiful video from Gary Breslin featuring music from Bix Sigurdsson. Below is Gary’s statement about the piece.
“A meditation on green light – inspired by the dense horizon of lights found on the top of cityscapes. Specifically the red blinking lights for warning aircrafts which have always felt to me like some kind of living, breathing ecosystem. Continuing my fascination with geographies constructed or revealed by light during the night, I started thinking more about the “breathing” lights as rhythms.” – Gary Breslin
Enter the miniature world of Carole Epps. Sinister. Cute. Dark. Mysterious. Wabbits & Mickey Mouse. Seems like a fun and slightly scary world to live in. I wouldn’t mind staying for a while.
Attention: Toy Collectors with a bad case of paranoia – your delusions are real! Your toys really do lead a secret life when you’re not watching over them! The Secret Life of Toys is a collection of photographs that captures toys in their everyday life, when they’re not busy being played with. This particular series features Star Wars characters who have been hit hard by the recession. I hope the stimulus plan reaches the Death Star!
