British-Iranian artist Nikoo Bafti crafts vibrant scenes that represent Mother Nature, pulling inspiration from varying mythologies. The artist’s background includes studies in illustration, with time spent animation development at Disney Channels in London before she embarked on a career in personal and freelance work.

“Nikoo’s work takes a look behind a thinning veil to an increasingly forgotten realm of deities, spirits and magic; exploring a playful side of dark mysticism and arcane ritual, conjured through her intensely saturated palettes and delicate, emblematic markings.”

Ella & Pitr Paint Refugee in Mural on French Dam

French pair Ella & Pitr once again tackle a topical social issue in their latest major mural.

Pierre Schmidt’s Psychedelic Collages and Illustrations

Berlin-based artist Pierre Schmidt's work floats freely between illustration and collage, traditional and digital. The artist splices vintage photographs of well-groomed ladies and gentlemen that evoke the standards of 20th-century propriety, turning them into bastions of surreal visions. In one piece, a cranium is cut open and in another, a face lifts off the head, implying a sort of out-of-body, psychedelic experience. Schmidt's drawings flow as freely and impulsively as doodles, with lots of frenetic line work reigned in by the geometric organization of each piece. Each piece a veritable mind trip, his work speaks to the day dreamers among us.

Preview: Clive Barker’s “1977” at Century Guild

While his most well-known projects are his horror novels and short stories, Clive Barker has a long career as painter that will be surveyed in his new exhibition, "1977," opening tomorrow night, August 23, at Century Guild in Culver City. The interdisciplinary artist — whose biggest credits include having his novels adapted for the Hellraiser and Candyman film series — will be showing a series of paintings he created in 1977 when he was 24 years old, as well as new works from this year. Filled with macabre imagery, Barker's paintings have a bone-chilling quality while balancing horror with humor. Coinciding with the exhibition will be the release of Barker's new art book, Imaginer.
