These works are done by Canadian based artist  Lora Northway.

“This series began with an investigation into my family’s immigration to Canada in 1901. My great great grandmother Aina Wilen traveled from Finland at 17, became a key founder of the women’s movement in Thunder Bay… I was able to travel to the cabin she helped build, document rugs she wove, and uncover dozens of photographs of my family canoeing, working, building and fighting for the vote.  These paintings honour their lives and traditions.”

The Bestiary Solo Show Exhibition By Artist Phlegm

These amazingly detailed and pop out at you type art was done by artist Phlegm debuting his unconventional solo show, “The Bestiary,” at Howard Griffin Gallery in London.

“The labyrinthine installation functions as a catalogue of imaginary characters inspired by medieval bestiaries, the pseudo-scientific books devoted to describing real and mythical beasts from centuries ago. While we presented a brief sneak preview before the show opened, today we take a look at the extensive installation Phlegm created. In the spirit of street art, the exhibition is entirely non-commercial, with all the works spray painted onto plywood lining the walls of the gallery. “The Bestiary” is on view through March 4.”- Hi-Fructose
