Figurative artist Karen Ann Myers - "I am investigating the psychological complexity of women through intimate observations in the bedroom. The work is inspired by the cult of beauty in contemporary mass media. Intricately painted, decorative interiors are invented to titillate the viewer."

The designers behind Material Immaterial studio, Nitin Barchha and Disney Davis, constructed miniature buildings to celebrate the beauty of concrete. These are miniature homes, which they call 'SPACES'. They are a collection of nine unique concrete pieces celebrating the amalgamation of space and volume that have sparked our senses as designers over the years. In honor of classic architecture, the designers say about their motivation behind the project: "Many of the best and most influential buildings of the last century are constructed with concrete, from Le-Corbusier's quintessentially modernist Villa Savoye, to Frank Lloyd Wright's spellbinding Falling water, and from Oscar Niemeyer's nation defining Brasilia, to Tadao Ando's exhilarating Church of the Light."

Exploring "Grid Reference" series of Sam Irons photography where form outrun the meaning of each place depicted on a print.
"Sam Chirnside (previously) is an Australian born graphic artist, working between New York City and Melbourne.Informed by the notion of altered states of consciousness, Sam’s work is an exercise in contradictions of order and incomprehension. Collage elements, oil-like pastel distortions optical illusions and esoteric iconography contrast with a balanced composition. In combination with an evident interest in ancient civilizations and sacred geometry (a discipline that popularises proof of cosmic significance, divine design intervention and above all, order) the resultant body of work is as close to a disorientation of the senses as design can achieve – and that is just how he likes it."
"Mark Tansey (Artsy) created collages serve as studies for large, monochromatic oil paintings of figures and landscapes, whose precise photographic quality is achieved by applying gesso and then washing, brushing, and scraping paint into it. He uses ultramarine blue, a color that combines the depth and complexities of black with the lightness and transparency of blue, and which imparts the historicizing feel of blueprint." via
"Thibault Delhom (Behance, Instagram) finds interesting ways to infuse his portraits with a creative edge, whether it’s by digitally adding lines and graphics or by using surreal props like an anatomically correct hand. The colour scheme is made up of predominately darker tonalities and he achieves a high level of contrast which is great to see. High quality stuff indeed." via

"New York based artist Daniel Arsham (Instagram) straddles the line between art, architecture and performance. Architecture is a prevalent subject throughout his work; environments with eroded walls and stairs going nowhere, landscapes where nature overrides structures, and a general sense of playfulness within existing architecture. Arsham makes architecture do things it is not supposed to do, mining everyday experience for opportunities to confuse and confound our expectations of space and form. Simple yet paradoxical gestures dominate his sculptural work: a façade that appears to billow in the wind, a figure wrapped up in the surface of a wall, a contemporary object cast in volcanic ash as if it was found on some future archeological site."
