Peat Duggins
Watercolor, gouache and ink paintings by once Austin, TX now Cambridge, MA artist Peat Duggins. The detail images are telling of a cartoon-apocalypse and I have to say I’m not a morbid or pessimistic person, however I enjoy dooms-day movies and I’m growing fond on such themes in artwork where humans are gone and nature takes over. This is different though, it’s sweet.

Liz Hickok
It’s possible this is the most intriguing food-as-art I’ve seen yet! San Francisco artist Liz Hickok sculpts, molds and casts scale models of urban city landscapes using Jell-O.

Jelle Martens
Digital photo collages and a pencil sketch by artist Jelle Martens. These remind me of much cooler versions of landscape prints my grandma has in her house above a couch.

Linn Olofsdotter
Strange, surreal illustrations by Swedish artist, Linn Olofsdotter. They’re sweet and scary – simultaneously mechanical and pliable like they’re sculpted out of soft clay over kinked wires.
She was educated in Europe and the US in advertising and design, lived in Brazil and currently calls Portland home – such of mix of cultures!

Jerry Luk – Mare Tranquillitatis
I imagine these graphic designs, by Hong Kong artist Jerry Luk, in tranquility chambers in the near future.

Ryan Pierce
Colorful acrylic paintings by artist Ryan Pierce - surreal, possibly telling of an impending doom, the absence of man leaves animals to wander through our remains. I wonder, can you eat birds like this?

Tim Sullivan
Tim Sullivan has created a sensory experience at the Steve Turner Contemporary not to be missed if you’re in the LA area this weekend. Large, 4-ft polycarbonate plastic discs will play modified versions of songs like “Hotel California” from the gallery walls in addition to playing from a large record player all created by Sullivan.
The artist’s work “continues to be inspired by various subcultures of California|Hollywood, hippies, death cults, sun worship, surf culture and Heavy Metal|and how they entered pop culture..”
This is awesome…
