Remember Vahge...cutting, arranging and pasting her way to collage art stardom.  Yeah, Vahge has starting turning quite a few heads recently with her intricate collage work.  She has sold over half the pieces from her solo show which is currently online at AMF Gallery.  Just when you think the party is over, Vahge comes through with an all new piece at the end of her show, again taking the work to another level.  You would be wise to remember the name Vahge.  She is just getting started!

On the website it states: The mission of The Dirty Show is to promote, publish and propagate erotic art in all forms. This is done in the form of an erotic art exhibition which has become one of the largest in the world.

On February 12th, the now infamous, annual Dirty Show opened to a packed crowd.  Along with an incredible body of artwork on display, The Dirty Show played host to a variety of sexy performances and different forms of entertainment.  Below are just a few images to give you a taste of what went down.  All artwork from the show can be seen HERE.  Enjoy!

I am sure you remember the work of oil painter Stephanie Henderson.  Her images of skulls, flowers, insects and other interesting subject matter have recently grabbed the attention of many people who now count themselves among her fans.  Here then is another new masterpiece by Stephanie Henderson.  Enjoy!

A young artist by the name of Marissa Olney recently sent me her take on Nick Baxter's current solo exhibition at Last Rites Gallery.  I found it to be incredibly well written and wanted to share it with the readers of Juxtapoz.com.  I hope you find it as informative and insightful as I did.  Nick Baxter's exhibition will be on view at Last Rites Gallery until February 27th.
