A look at the description for “Dimensional Flats” hints at the artist’s sensibility: “There is a mutant doctor that carries a special raygun to treat deadly patients. One day, he was trapped in another dimensional world that was an incarnation of a rare disease. His comrades run to save his life with extraordinary method.”

Exclusive Interview: Inside the Rooms of Scott Teplin

Artist Scott Teplin enjoys the minutiae, which is a good thing considering his intensely-detailed stacked room drawings require a dedicated curiosity to create, as well as to enjoy. Teplin describes his ink and watercolor works on paper as a way to categorize his curiosity about the unseen areas of life. We can trace Teplin’s creative path from the times he was sequestered in his room as a childhood punishment to his early days in New York, when he would try to draw his neighbors' apartments from memory. From these moments, his highly entertaining and elaborate “Rooms” series was born.

On View: Winnie Truong’s “Invisible/Visible” at Erin Stump Projects

Toronto-based artist Winnie Truong (featured on the cover of Hi-Fructose Vol. 22) began drawing unruly, prolific hair as a way to interrogate Western beauty standards. As her body of work evolved, her depictions of hair became more sculptural and intricate. Hair became the medium to test the bounds of form and line. Her latest colored pencil drawings place more emphasis on the abstract arrangements of waves and curls than on the hairstyle's wearer. Truong's current solo show, "Invisible/Visible" is on view at Erin Tump Projects in Toronto through December 20.
