The only reason I’ve yet to post about Laurie Lipton is that I’m too in love with her work to choose examples. But now I have a way to introduce her: the Day of the Dead show at Corpro Nason (which I’m drooling over and must get to).

Inspired by traditional religious Flemish art, Lipton devised a method of creating depth and form through thousands of tiny cross-hatched lines. Trust me, you’ve never seen pencil drawings like this; obsessive in detail, and absolutely luminous. They take my breath away.

I can’t wait to see these in full size. View the exhibit online.

The illusions Oliver Vernon creates in our perceptual field are nothing short of amazing. He is an architect of spacial planes and depth.

Oliver Vernon’s works open up new fields of visual play, spontaneity, and wonder in a time of information density and visual overload. The macro and micro views resolve into unified wholes, creating imaginative and reflective spaces that capture the energy, complexity, and anxiety of our globally interconnected worlds, both organic and humanly constructed. –Source
