In her Skin Deep series, Texas-based artist Mona Marshall explores the idea that life iis a fabrication masking an invisible infrastructure. According to the artist's statement, "Skin, like paper, may be fragile and easily torn or cut. It is generated by what is underneath and can be destroyed by it as well."

Nowhere Right Here

German-born artist Franziska Klotz collects snapshots which she then reconfigures as dreamily abstract paintings. According to a press release announcing her Nowhere Right Here show at the Cerrasolil Gallery, Klotz's layering technique allows viewers to make connections organically, rather than immediately. In many of her large-scale paintings, brush and spackle paint applications coincide with graphic elements and aerosol techniques. Her exhibit in Culver City, California continues through May 13.

In the series of photographs above, Richard Nickel, Jr. takes us into the abandoned hallways, rooms, and staircases of state asylums. All are available to purchase as limited-edition prints.

Diego Gravinese

Buenos Aires artist Diego Gravinese creates large-scale, hyper-realistic oil paintings where viewers are free to complete the storylines in their own imagination. Anyone want to leave a comment and tell me what's happening in the bottom painting? Bonus points for being humorous or outrageous (but stay clean, please).
