Through his work Jon Fox investigates the ever-changing mindscapes and dream worlds that slide and shift beneath the surface while wondering who’s in control?…who is really the master of this inner universe?

Where one might only see ugly potholes and cracks Juliana Santacruz Herrera uses the grey asphalt as her canvas to create wonderful street art. By using bright yarns and fabrics, she braids and weaves site-specific pieces, injecting some colour into the urban landscape of Paris where she lives. Mon Dieu!

CLEMENS BEHR
In 3d, Art on 20 abril 2012 at 9:03
Clemens Behr was born in 1985 in Koblenz, Germany, but is currently based in Berlin where he studying Fine Arts at UdK Berlin. However, much of Behr’s time is dedicated to travelling and creating his huge 3D installations in both public and interior environments. For his sculptures he uses things he has found and recycled as well as basic building materials, whatever that mixes with the urban cityscape. With a background in graffiti Behr’s style is street smart, but his influences also include origami, spontaneous chance and a deep interest in the environment where his installations are displayed. We love it!
MARTIN OUELLETTE
In Art, Paintings on 19 abril 2012 at 8:40
Canadian artist Martin Ouellette’s paintings are inspired by photos of common objects decaying in the urban landscape. With his work he has set out to find the beauty in the banal as he observes the transition from mass-produced objects to trash. His vibrant paintings are full of details; worn out magazines, wires, rusted nails or wooden poles layered with staples and torn up paper, but one thing is sure, if anyone can make decayed objects look like a work of art, it’s definitely Martin Ouellette.

Arian Behzadi is currently a Biological Sciences major with an emphasis in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior at UC Davis. In between classes he does personal and commissioned visual design work. He has always found parallels between art and the sciences so a lot of his studies find their way into his artwork. Aside from design work, Arian interns at the Same Day Surgery Center at the UCD Medical Center and does research at the Carraway/Sweeney Cancer Lab. Sweet!
DAN WITZ

This is not the first time we feature Dan Witz, but he is one of those artists we like keeping track of as well as bringing you new pieces of his astonishing work every now and then. We are simply in love with this man. Born in 1957, Dan Witz is a Brooklyn, NY based street artist and realist painter. He grew up in Chicago and in 1981 (when we were still in diapers), he graduated from Cooper Union, on New York City’s Lower East Side. Witz, consistently active since the late 1970s, is one of the pioneers of the street art movement and his paintings have been shown in galleries throughout the US and Europe. In June 2010 a monograph, “Dan Witz. In Plain View. 30 Years of Artworks Illegal and Otherwise”, was published by Ginkgo press.
GAËLLE VILLEDARY
In Art, Eco-Friendly on 27 marzo 2012 at 8:42
Born in 1976 in Marseille (France), Gaëlle Villedary is an artist who loves to experiment with materials and create spaces that allow the viewer to interact. A good example of this is her eco-friendly installation in the village of Zhozhak, a small community located in the south of France. She was invited there for the celebration of the ten year anniversary of the initiative Art and Nature Trail, and Villedary decided to create an organic carpet that ran through the village to join the natural areas that are located on both sides. One of the objectives with the project was to show the path of development of the modern village, closer to nature, more active and harmonious use of natural resources, but the the installation also represents the rebirth of life on the road.
JOE WEBB

The images you see up here are some great handmade mixed media collages by British artist Joe Webb. If you like what you see you should definitely check out his Saatchi profile where you can buy his work as well as get to know more about the artist, like this piece of information: “My collages work to a basic rule of sourcing just two or three images….Then I present them as a reinvented single image with the objective of communicating a new message or idea. I started making these simple hand made collages as a sort of luddite reaction to working on computers for years. I like the limitations of collage…using found imagery and a pair of scissors, there are no Photoshop options to resize, adjust colours or undo. I suppose I’m fairly anti technology although I now promote my art on websites like this, own an iPhone and use Facebook…I wish I had been born 100 years ago.”
RANDY MORA
In Art on 20 marzo 2012 at 8:51
Randy Mora is a self-taught artist and illustrator currently working in Bogotá, Colombia. He makes cut and paste collages where he mixes a bit of everything, like scary anatomy, plants, kitschy devices and animals into elegant artwork. His collages develop from ideas he first puts down in small sketches. During the process, however, many variables lead him to other solutions far from the original idea. He usually works in Photoshop, scanning the pictures he needs. Each one of them has its own history: “the key is to know how to organize them into a solid concept. I don’t like to rush things.”
