By day, OakOak is, as he calls himself, a “pen pusher.” But when he’s not working, he’s busy beautifying his native St. Etienne and other cities throughout France

One of our favorite artists of the moment is Belgium’s Brecht Vandenbroucke
Characters are punched, cutted, painted with flat colours, adorned by optical elements and soiled. Children are transformed in monsters, characters from cartoon are represented as modern San Sebastian: iconic souvenirs that are no more friendly, but aggressive, as just came out from a Joe Lansdale novel
Mike Giant’s openings always draw a huge crowd, especially because the graffiti, Rebel 8 fashion designer, and tattoo mainstay hasn’t show in San Francisco in a few years
Argentine artist, San Poggio’s sur re al ist works and real is tic ren der ings leave lit tle to the imag i na tion with the bizarre scenery, happenings and situations that are laid out in the intricate settings. There are behead ings and strug gles, collections and a little bit of obsessive compulsion in Poggio’s masterful illustrations and paintings.
We first saw the Ulysses series by Miles Donovan in London back in 2013 and thought we would take a look back at the fantastic collages, a “series of images from the missing space probe Ulysses.” Great collage ideas, juxtaposing images of deep space with those of both the common tourist and street scenes. Perhaps we will see some space tourists in 2014…
Milos “Sholim” Rajkovic is like a Belgradian anti-war Terry Gilliam, who produces the most remarkable surreal animations made from decomposed heads — authority figures like generals and ranking clerics are a favorite — filled with weird gears, fleshy pulsing puckers, crazy clocks, tiny frantic people, and more. I could watch this stuff all day long.
Over the weekend, Saner opened his newest exhibition “El Cenit Del Venado” at Fifty24MX Gallery in Mexico City. This new body of work consisted of acrylic paintings, ink drawings and sculptures, all presented in a dim lit setting. Saner wrote about the exhibition saying, “The zenith refers to the time when the sun and the moon aligns in the sky above us, and it´s used as a metaphor of those instants where the human being is able to get out of the daily routine and be present, being able to connect with the Great Spirit.”
The all-popular Mr. Potato Head gets a fantastic makeover with Melbourne-based artist Stephen Ives series of sculptures, “Mr. Dictator Head.” The artist’s other plastic toy figures are often humorous, sometimes disturbing (as re-assembled toys often are) and always imaginative and inspired.
Invader has declared (like many others right now) the Rotten Apple to be his current playground for installing mosaic tile works
Presented earlier this month at Beijing Design Week, The Beautiful Future, is a series of paintings made in Pyongyang, North Korea by a handful of propaganda artists
sensitivity to the inner self and psychological thinking, plus her technical skill sets and a passion for surrealism, paradox, and illusion results in a process that allows her to assemble…magic.
Not that we want to deter you from looking at these images, but no picture will do this exhibition justice. I can go on and on about how intriguing the work is, how the Chapman brothers have perhaps made the biggest noise during Basel week in Hong Kong, but even that would not give enough credit to how incredible the diorama pieces of The Sum of All Evil really are.
