“Started in ’99, this is my life work. I individually cut single sheets of paper by free-hand and stack them together. The work consists of positive or negative shapes. I am trying to embody relationships among humans, time and nature.” — Noriko Ambe

Matthew Metzger -Light without Distinction, oil on panel, 30 x 24 in, 2012 Artist Statement For me, the landscape and its sublimity is the ideal genre to capture human emotion at its most profound. It is here, amidst the overwhelming landscape, that in our smallness we are reduced to feeling most human. When we are most human our feelings are, paradoxically, often the most incomprehensible. I paint the landscape from memory and emotion and seek to invoke those incomprehensible qualities in my paintings. Always being unable to express what is incomprehensible, my art is left vulnerable to interpretation. Thus, not by design but by necessity, this vulnerability allows the viewer to take what he or she wants (and in some cases needs) to take from each painting. Through this process and interaction with the viewer I hope to create a meaningful dialogue.

From the series Wreckage, 2011, Matt Wisniewski Matt Wisniewski is a web-developer from Brooklyn who sources and combines photographic portraits and landscape photos into one seemless collage. The results are beautiful and elegant silhouettes that give the impression of dreams come to life. Stunning works.

Grand Larousse (2010), Guy Laramée Interdisciplinary artist Guy Laramée carves amazing miniature landscapes out of stacks of old books. His objects originates from the very idea that “ultimate knowledge could very well be an erosion instead of an accumulation.” The erosion of cultures – and of “culture” as a whole - is the theme that runs through the last 25 years of Guy’s artistic practice.
