Kara Walker

or the Marvelous Sugar Baby an Homage to the unpaid and overworked Artisans who have refined our Sweet tastes from the cane fields to the Kitchens of the New World on the Occasion of the demolition of the Domino Sugar Refining Plant

Off the Williamsburg Bridge in Brooklyn Kara Walker has created her first sculpture and it is humongous, political, racial and in your face gigantic. This site specific work is awe inspiring, with the 100 years of dripping Molasses and the smell of sweet sugar wafting into the racially charged air. Lines are around the block. Check it out

Philippe Pasqua

Unix Gallery

French artist who paints with a different brush every time. Notice the photo of his studio with the stacks and stacks of brushes. These works are monumental. He does sculpture, photography and painting. Pretty amazing for a self-taught artist. The skull photographs are covered in leather and tattooed. Check it out.
