Artist Femke Hiemstra by Lost At E Minor
Femke Hiemstra's beautifully rendered and haunting images transcend those of typical neo-surrealist fairytale artists. Her mixed-media paintings and graphite drawings of anthropomorphized fruits, vegetables, toy parts, and animals reference retro packaging from around the world. They have an expressive complexity about them, encompassing entire narratives within single panels.

Painter Amy Crehore
Artist Amy Crehore's work feels like a Gauguin version of "Where The Wild Things Are," with her nudes hanging out in the jungle alongside monkeys, cats, lions and little kids dressed like clowns. Her paintings on ukuleles sing a softer tune than her work on canvas, which seems to be making a comment about the male gaze—the women in the Oregon-based artist's work appear...

Artist Natasha Law
I feel deeply for the body language in Natasha Law's ladies. Body and movement have always been an interesting subject matter to me. Body language can speak such an intimate, potent language. Using gestures of form, a person can share what lies underneath their exterior and in one small movement you have the power to make someone feel at ease or a tiny twitch...

Lee Harvey Roswell: Soup n' Crackers
San Francisco-based artist Lee Harvey Roswell returned to his home state of New York this month to make his solo debut in the Hudson Valley. Lee Harvey Roswell (such an inventive name should not be truncated) is a study in the playful and bizarre with such favorites as "Three Graces," his subversively silly behind-the-scenes take on the original, from his series "Stills are Still Moving."...

Artist and Restauranteur Dejan Bogdanovic
I met painter Dejan Bogdanovic in a nightclub he was running in Florence, Italy, nearly ten years ago. Dressed in a vintage leather vest and the owner of one of the most charming laughs I'd ever heard, I was intrigued by him straight away. Born in Sarajevo as the son of an international chess champion, Dejan was catapulted into the intellectual art world at a...

The Artwork of Vanessa Prager
At just 24-years-old, artist Vanessa Prager has already accomplished a great deal of success with her drawings and paintings. Not surprisingly though, as it seems that what the young L.A. resident lacks in formal education she makes up for with hard work and ambition.Her work includes canvases splashed with rich colors and drawings executed on music sheets with ball point pen. Subjects often involve a...

Guillaume Bresson Paintings
Perhaps his paintings are not for the faint of heart, but if you're like me and like art with a sinister edge, take a look at the work of French artist Guillaume Bresson. Bresson's sombre paintings are like choreographed scenes of urban violence. Painted in a dark and monochrome palette, his subjects lurk in the shadows of dimly lit parking garages or they riot...
