Nina Lindgren Builds Elaborate Cardboard Architecture

Emerging Swedish artist Nina Lindgren works in illustration, photography and printmaking, and most recently has added architecture to her repertoire. The artist has been developing a series of geometric, cardboard sculptures that look like tiny cityscapes condensed into tightly-packed shapes. Her most recent one, "Floating City," was exhibited at ArtRebels Gallery in Copenhagen. The hanging piece is a multifaceted form that gives its mundane medium new life in viewers' imaginations as they traverse the levitating metropolis.

Guerra takes advantage of the linear patterns of this chosen medium to cover his works with hypnotic spirals of contrasting colors. The highly textured pieces appeal to both the visual and tactile senses. In addition to his sculpture work, Guerra has a portfolio as a set designer for television, theater and cinema.

Now on view at Merry Karnowsky Gallery in Los Angeles, Johnny 'KMNDZ' Rodriguez and Nicola Verlato's dual exhibitions paint uniquely personal pictures of conflict. There is no universal definition of what it means to struggle; whether we are emotionally conflicted with ourselves, or there is some form of friction between cultural groups, as in Verlato's works. Interestingly, both artists portray this with symbols of weaponry. View more of their new works after the jump.
"I am inspired by the incredible variety and complexity of the natural world that surrounds me," says Southern France based artist Rogan Brown. Brown's winter wonderland of intricately cut paper sculptures first caught our attention in 2013, when we featured his abstract formations of florals and pathogens, hand-cut out of watercolor paper with exquisite precision. His latest series, created throughout 2015, combines the techniques of hand paper cutting and laser cutting, leaving the burnt edges of the paper for added texture and depth to his already complex works of art.
