Although most of the work by Travis Steams revolves around eye-catching, experimental and very unique digital design (he’s a LA-based graphic designer), I also found a liking to this little series of collages snuggled between all the more overwhelming visuals on his flickr-stream.
Eerie faces and skulls reveal themselves in Adolfo Bimer’s abstract chemical mixtures, creating fascinating ghostly portraits.
Berlin-based sculptor and artist Clemens Behr uses cheap materials like cardboard and wood to create complex and sometimes gigantic artworks. These works were created for his solo exhibition at the Karena Schüssler gallery and are based on functional ideas like shelves, lights or a wardrobe.
“It is very important to me to just keep working and moving. To think through working and not to think about the work too much. So most of the time, I run around the space hectically and keep forgetting things I planned to do. I never measure materials, I like to have all my stuff ready and work on my 3D collage without paying too much attention.”
I have this weird obsession with masks, and it seems Cari Vander Yacht does to. Although she also has a weird obsession with a lot of other great things too.

“I guess it’s more and more about fashion whereas in the beginning it was illustration and not so much art. But then from that illustration it kind of became more art because illustration, I think, is really commercial and I find it quite difficult to fit my style into what other people want it to be. Or into a way that’s really able to be sold.
Because commercial art is really about selling, and you have to have a really strong image in order to sell. And it’s taken up until now for me to get there, to kind of come back and do more fine art and kind of create an image that then I can sell to people.”
