Valeriya Volkova’s vibrant mixed-media houses offer surprises hidden throughout their contours. Using a combination of paint, markers, and ink, the structures take on different themes and surreal flourishes. The stranger parts of each piece are built upon the artist’s striking architectural sensibilities.
In her bio, it says that “Valeriya Volkova is a delightful sandwich currently residing in Philadelphia. When not holding slices of cheese and smoked meats between her buns, she welcomes new commissions and opportunities.” The artist is part of the The Arch Enemy Arts 2019 Showcase, kicking off on Feb. 1. See more of her works below.
Chicago-based artist and illustrator 
Amy Crehore brings her joyful paintings to La Luz de Jesus Gallery with the aptly named "Bathers, Buskers & Cats." The show, running through Dec. 1 at the Los Angeles space, offers a set of oil on linen works that move through time, cultures, and touches of surrealism, all while staying true to that title.
