“Jeremy Cross has been showing his work professionally in galleries across the country and abroad for over 12 years,” the gallery says. “Racking up an impressive resume of gallery affiliations and shows. … Unapologetically self taught, but with a crafted skill that clearly shows his dedication and work ethic, Jeremy has created a style that is not only unique but immediately recognizable as his.”

Mernet Larsen's paintings shift perspectives and reimagine our world in a manner that recalls early computer-generated modeling. Offering both corporate and domestic environments, the acrylic and mixed-media works both convey the humanity of these scenes and remixes their contents. Larsen was last mentioned on HiFructose.com here.
Chilean painter Guillermo Lorca Garcia-Huidobro creates monumental works on canvas with compositions that always seem to ascend in an upward spiral. In one piece, the viewer gazes up at a larger-than-life teenage girl while a child, miniature in comparison, clings on to her for safety. In another piece, various creatures scale a barren, crooked tree trunk that looks more like a tree of death than a tree of life, with a little girl attempting to escape the vulture's nest at the top. Lorca Garcia-Hiodobro executes his surrealist vision with loose brush strokes that leave details muddled and backgrounds incomplete, inviting the open-ended images to mingle with the viewers' own childhood nightmares and anxieties.
Currently on view at David Bloch Gallery in Marrakech, Alëxone Dizac's solo show "Banana Spleen" is a whimsical, interdisciplinary exploration of the artist's character-driven, colorful aesthetic. The exhibition includes paintings on fabric, sculptures, an installation, and a mural. Dizac began his career as a graffiti writer in Paris in the early 1990s. Though still focused on comical, surreal animal characters, his work has evolved into many other media. The busy, psychedelic paintings in the show feature the strange adventures of Dizac's signature anthropomorphic birds and dogs as they navigate through abstract patterns floating in space. Take a look at some highlights from "Banana Spleen" below before the show ends on November 29.
Animals take on a special meaning in San Francisco based artist Erika Sanada's work, whose sculptures of cute "zombified" puppies, rats, and baby birds represent a sort of escapism from her anxiety. In an effort to embrace and defeat her demons, so to speak, Sanada created her "Odd Series", which was featured on our blog back in August and in Hi-Fructose Vol. 31. Since that time, her sculptures have evolved into more positive displays of her characters, who often interact with eachother in playful chases and tug of wars. Sanada expands on her ongoing series with her solo exhibition, "Balancing Act", now on view at Abmeyer + Wood Fine Art in Seattle.
