“For the artist, science is the best filter through which we can see reality, but art is the preferred means of expression,” the venue says. “Looking at his mythological creatures it’s not hard to see why; since the first time Grabelsky started to turn the people he met in the New York subway into animals, his artistic research and technique became more and more meticulous and detailed.”

Polish painter Ewa Juszkiewicz subverts canonical portraiture by playing with viewers' expectations. Poised damsels that evoke Renaissance-era nobility stand with their hands clasped and their faces replaced by oyster mushrooms, cockroaches and shrubbery. It's as if in spite of all the pains these ladies have taken to appear proper and civilized, nature has reasserted its dominion. Juzkiewicz is specifically interested in portraits of women and uses her work to study the ways women have been presented over the course of European history.
