My favorite thing about painter Harry Holland's series of nudes suspended in the air is that you aren't really sure if they are falling or floating. What I have no doubt about, however, is Holland's talent in arranging his subjects in a beautiful and graceful manner.

Aron Demetz' medium doesn't rely on the shape of his sculptures, but rather the various stages in which the medium is treated and how each aspect of its creation and decomposition reflects on the figure itself. His sculptures of the human body range from raw almost unfinished wood carvings, to burnt remnants of what once was of his subject.

As promised by Bunnyman in his first feature, here is a second look at Mu Pan. I honestly cannot remember the last time I was this visually engaged. My intrigue starts with his crazy delicious mixture of modern and historic and elevates to a mind numbing love of the composition and detail. Mu Pang pieces are like a Where's Wally? of grotesque yet intriguing detail.
