Viewfinder, 2006 - 20 x 24 inches chromogenic Print
American photographer Thomas Allen constructs witty and clever dioramas using figures cut from the covers of old pulp paperbacks. Using salacious pulp art drawing’s of the ’40s and ’50s that covered books such as ” I Married a Dead Man” and ” Marihuana Girl’, Allen constructs one set of pictures up close while obscuring another, and in the process creates a different context. Each piece is given a brand new storyline, though never quite strays from their cheeky origins. See (more…)

“I do all for My Lord Marquis of Carabas” - 1620 × 1303mm, oil painting, 2008
Japanese artist Yuma Touko features surreal, fun, bright, raucous, playful imagery that transcends category. Touko paints a wickedly humorous melange of fairytales and pop culture to tell unsettling tales about the beauty and pain of childhood. With his divine gift for color and composition, Touko draws attention to vast amounts of iconography and bizzare pop imagery used as a metaphor, which makes the viewing experience all the richer and more compelling.
“L’apres-Midi D’un Faune” - 530 × 455mm, oil painting, 2008
