December 27, 2010 | New Art | by Lamia Larkin Highly recommended by the LAEM team. |

We could all use a little abstract painting in our lives, and Dale Frank’s abstraction carries on into their titles. Each painting comes with a very interesting and complex title that will have you looking twice at the image. Read more

Fine, skull art may be a little played out at this point, but come on, this one is made out of real human brains!

Justine Lai’s Join or Die painting series consists of self portraits of herself having sex with each president of the United States. Provocative and very NSFW, the paintings are a blunt comment on race, ethnicity, and sexuality in America. Read more

Cleveland-born, Brooklyn-based artist Thu Tran ups the cute ante with her magic-marker character drawings, plush landscape installations, and glass birthday cakes. Obsessed with food and cartoon animals, Tran’s color-saturated aesthetic is that of a twelve year-old girl with a killer Red Bull habit. Read more

I’ve had a not so secret crush on A Spoonful of Mint ever since I first saw her work. She’s based in Stockholm and makes the most perfect looking geometric wood jewellery and paints it by hand in contrasting black and pastel colours. Read more

The work of Stylianos Schicho focuses on composition and facial expression. Every illustration draws the viewer in through the eyes of the subject matter. What’s cool about his work is how he plays around with proportion and selective colour palettes. He’s a trippy artist with an extensive portfolio. Read more

Somehow Luxury lost its way and mistook itself for decadence, joining the Bling-Bling parade and gravitating towards the streets of self-indulgence. Yet, the true essence of Luxury, as the divine Coco Chanel states ‘is not in the richness and ornateness, but in the absence of vulgarity’. Bravo, I say! Read more
