Rachel Niffenegger's work is like as if a catapult launched an artistic projectile engulfed in flames, screaming, and howling with a beautiful rage of emotions. A Chicago based installation and mixed-media artist, Niffenegger creates tie-dye watercolor portraits using very unique color palettes that reminds me of our internal guts, organs, smeared with the blood all over the wall. These portraits have the visual effect of decay, as they just stares at you with a smirk and you holler back 'You fucking scum. You're beautiful.'

Gabriel Dawe has exhibited his artwork all around the world, from the US, to Belgium, to Britain. Originally from Mexico City, Gabriel's installations are often of textile strings in a wide open space (or a place of stunning architecture) which situated precisely to portray vast spectrum of iridescent colours.

Nikita Nomerz is a Russian artist that travels to various cities and transforms abandoned structures through graffiti installations.

Diddo Velema is an all-around visual artist and designer who creates just about everything and anything that a contemporary Renaissance Man can. Velema was actually featured WAY BACK in 2009 BC ("Before the Crash" - check out Nicholas Di Genova's post for the brief explanation), and we finally bring him back officially from the pile of dope artists who were lost in that infamous Crash of 2009!

Yeong Woo Kim is a South Korean industrial designer that has developed a lamp that pours an emotional flow of light. The design is clean & minimal with a tranquil effect, thanks to the use of phosphorescence in the stream of 'water'.

Mark Garry's thread installations encourage viewers to slow down as they contemplate basic structures. "It's just about being quiet and in the moment...A slower encounter." The Irish artist, writer, and educator is also highly fond of music collaborations, and his interest in music and musicology has been said to be the main conceptual motivation in his work.

Florida based artist Jen Stark was originally featured back in March 2012 and she comes packing with more polychromatic visuals, angles, shapes, colors, and psychedelic perspectives. Stark allows the viewer to stare into her work as if looking through a mirror from a parallel universe, laced with lysergic acid diethylamide.

The creativity and dexterity of Owen Lee speak for themselves. His project, 'Re-Code Shakespeare,' is aimed "re-coding Shakespeare in the 21st century's vision." It consists of Ophelia's Skull, and its sequel, Claudius' Hand. Definitely take a look.

Hailing from Ghent, Belgium, Wim Delvoye is one of those nutty artists who literally creates everything in every medium. Literally. Sculptures, photography, installations, paintings, tattooing sedated pigs without PETA hunting for his head (from what we know), everything. Not to mention, his personal website is like SimCity meets Roller Coaster Tycoon...nutty.

Beauty is in the eye of...Vermibus. A Spanish artist who is currently based out of Berlin, Germany, Vermibus "kidnapps" actual ads near bus stops, subway stations, and other public spaces, and uses gasoline, thinner, acetone, and what have you to transform them into his very own creations. Vermibus replaces the original ads with something more beautiful, reclaiming the public space one ad display at a time.

For the past few months, Tasha Lewis has been traveling around the US installing 400 cyanotype butterflies in public spaces...guerrilla style - the only style that EK loves. Each cyanotype butterfly is printed on cotton fabric and is attached to a small, yet powerful magnet to ensure that no harm or damage is done to any surface. "I hope that these ephemeral installations will turn into public performances and events as the swarm grows even bigger. My goal is to toe the line between subversive street art and lyrical apparition."

2010 Top 100 artist Mi Ju is young and incredibly talented. Her large works of intricate, colorful art is deep and full of themes and symbols that suck you in. Take it from me, viewing her work in person is a treat, because you just get transported into a whole new world. Her style is incredibly original and personal, and while we don't know where it all comes from, we do know one thing, they did not come from drugs.

Ever since I saw  Koralie and husband Supakitch on EK on November of last year, I've been wanting to do a post about them individually, so here goes! Though their work blends incredibly in a fluke of genius brought by street art super powers, Koralie's work stands alone with pure individual style. Her signature "doll" illustrations appear throughout her work, she blends a variety of different patterns, textures and various cultural influences that make each piece an intricate evolution from the last.

Tauba Auerbach is a very unique artist who creates everything from installation pieces, sculptures, prints, experimental typeface, and a whole slew of other art pieces ranging in mediums. Auerbach's RGB Colorspace piece is a 3200 page creation that showcases the entire range of the RGB spectrum...DAAAAAAAAAAMN.

Hong Yi AKA "Red" is known for "loving to paint, but not with a paintbrush." Using ordinary objects, such as coffee grounds, book pages, sunflower seeds and even socks, Red manages to morph, warp and mold these otherwise mundane materials into brilliant masterpieces. Her most recent portrait, Setting Fire to Adele, was created using fire, wax and a wild spark of imagination.

Japanese artist Motoi Yamamoto constructs intricate labyrinths, entire mountains made of salt. Salt has always held special significance in the death rituals of Japan, and following the sudden death of his younger sister, Yamamoto channelled his grief into his maze-like installations. His works are largely improvised, yet meticulously poured, and at the end of each work, the public is invited in to destroy the work, collect the salt and return it, to the sea.

Tomás Saraceno was featured on EK last year for his 'Cloud Cities' installation. We're bringing him back this time around to feature 'Poetic Cosmos of the Breath,' one of his older installations from 2007 that has been getting a lot of attention lately.

"Misunderstanding Focus" is a portrait series executed by the artistic collective known as Nerhol. The clever Japanese duo that makes up this brainstorm of creativity are Yoshihisa Tanaka and Ryuta Iida. Their work, when looked at carefully, is an elaborate testament of our always aging, constantly moving, ever changing bodies.

“Axiom and Simulation” was previously featured last month and we're eager to show you an update on Mark Dorf's conceptual series. His exploration investigates how humans use art & science within their surroundings. The naturally established terrains have been subtly manipulated, rendering the physical objects and space through mathematical and scientific expositions.

Korean artist Yun Woo Choi uses rolled up magazines to create amazingly detailed sculptures. He plays with the idea of undiscovered dimensions and hidden layers of space, in his writhing, ferociously tantalizing installations.
