Metallic Molten

Paul Juno is an LA artist whose work explores the formation and interaction of paint. He creates canvas paintings and macro photographs. In his “Agate” series, metallic paints swirl and collide. Juno’s macro photographs of the process are highly detailed and almost look like the surfaces of intergalactic planets of a far away universe.

Vast Expanse

Reuben Wu is a photographer with an eye for space. Vast expanses that seem other worldly in their absence of human presence. From cross-country America to the icy vistas of Argentina’s Patagonia, sometimes after a long day of city life it’s nice to be reminded that nothing-ness exists, space is out there and the peace of nature is… Read more »
