Lucila Biscione creates surreal scenes with paper, ink, and pencil, with lush backdrops and roaming creatures. The Buenos Aires-born, Berlin-based “papercut” artist primarily uses muted tones in the works shown here, adding to worlds that appear either ancient and lived-in—further underscoring their fairytale quality.
The artist offers some insight into her globetrotting background: “I was born in Buenos Aires, but I spent my childhood in Villa Cacique, a small town located in Buenos Aires Province. During my adolescence I lived in Mar del Plata. Ultimately, I came back to the Buenos Aires to study Graphic Design at the University of Buenos Ares. I currently live and work in Berlin. I may say that at this time Berlin is my place in the world. Although, if I have the chance to choose, I would always return to live next to the seaside.”

Armed with a pair of scissors, Huntz Liu's multilayered paper collages have the viewer guessing which geometric forms offer actual depth or just give the illusion of it. With names like "Color Chasm," "Gravity," and "Boxy Configurations," the artist acknowledges that playful deception that carries across the works in his new show at Thinkspace Projects, which runs through Oct. 5 at the space.

Rogan Brown’s paper sculptures depict complex scientific processes and organisms. The artist, as what he calls a "non-scientist" or “outsider,” attempts to reconcile and recreate the life of bacteria, the effects of quantum physics, and other true-to-life research, through his own singular creative sensibility.
