Michael Swaney has some really interesting work which ranges from sculpture to line drawings. His work is intricate and very weird but that just makes the work far more interesting to view. You can really get lost in Michael Swaney’s work.

We love these little sculptures by Adam Cruickshank, they are really unique and have something about them that is really interesting. Adam lives in Melbourne Australia and attended Queensland College of Art in Brisbane during the early 90s, where he exhibited at various artist run spaces.

Kelsey Leigh Dake has a great portfolio of illustrations. The 21 year old who currently studies at the art center college of design in Pasadena, ca, is incredibly talented when it comes to illustration but also has a lovely selection of sculptures which somehow go along side the style she has in his illustrative work. We really like Kelseys style and its nice how she applies it over many different formats.

Jessica Fortner has some amazing illustrations and sculpture pieces in her portfolio which are rather like Wallace and grommet but far more interesting. Jessica creates her illustrations by fabricating environments and characters out of polymer clay (Super Sculpey) and other materials that she finds. After staging them they are photographed.

Zack Bent is unlike any creative we have come across before but we are glad we did. Zack’s work is a mixture of installations and photography and in each you can see his own style coming through like in this image of the ‘family’ Swiss army knife. Zack currently works with his wife Gala and his two sons Ezra and Solomon. “Most recently they were Artists-in-Residence at Crawl Space Gallery where they found a dead bird and slept in a covered wagon.”

Michel de Broin -

“Born in 1970 in Montreal, Michel de Broin lives and works in Montreal and in Berlin. Through a collection of objects and actions, his works seek to escape the constraining nature of modern utopian aspirations whilst attempting to reenact them in playful, jesting objects that glorify the referent on the one hand while upstaging it on the other. Drawing on his doubt in the capacity and value of ideas, his sculptural projects seek to put them to the test by literally confronting them with the necessities of reality in assemblage that often troubles the ideas it purports to speak for.” www.micheldebroin.org

We where more than pleasantly surprised when we came across Kevin Cyr portfolio. His illustrations are amazingly life like but with his own style which adds to it. It’s quite amazing how Kevin has made something like vans and other van like pieces of transport look so interesting. Kevin follows on his love for transport with some crazy sculptural pieces.

Antony Micallef has exhibited throughout the world from L.A, Tokyo to Palestine. As well as exhibiting at the National Portrait Gallery recent group shows include the Royal Academy, Burlington Gardens and a print show at the Tate Britain. This shows that Antony Micallef is on top of his game and really is at the forefront of art. His work is beautiful and his sculptures are clever.

When we first came across Allison sometime last week, we immediately thought “yeah shes a painter”, we where not strictly wrong but she is far more than just a painter. Allison is skilled in Animation, which she studied at CalArts in California, drawing, painting and even sculpture. She is incredibly talented and her work is an amazing testimonial to this.

I spose you could say Daniel Arsham is a 29 year old sculptor. His work is amazing and where he gets his ideas for these installations is beyond us. Daniels lives and works in New York and Miami and over the las 7 years has participated in a number of exhibitions. Go and check Daniels work out, it really is quite breath taking.
