Michael Johansson

Swedish artist Michael Johansson is probably the undisputed master of 3D Tetris. Look at how all the parts of that machine fit into each other! I love his play on the idea of materials and their assembly in the creation of average household and office-hold (?) goods- returning them to nature, bringing them out of nature…popping them out of and retuning them to their molds.

Caro Suerkemper

Caro Suerkemper’s graceless ladies (you know who I am) are somehow classical and vulgar at the same time- perhaps because she uses mediums typically reserved for refined culture or antiquities, such as fine china and delicate gouache wash paintings to convey her gals, usually in awkward stages of self or imposed bondage.
