The end of year brings us to our closing issue of 2012, and who better than London-based Conor Harrington to grace the cover for a second time (scoring at home, October 2008 was his first cover). We lean heavily on painters and fine artists this issue with pieces on Nicola Verlato, Futura, Julie Heffernan, Marco Mazzoni, Grady Gordon, and Gregory Euclide, plus conversations with Jen Stark, Bob Dob, and a photo essay from the heart of Johannesburg.

This past weekend we stopped by the opening for Jen Stark’s latest solo exhibition at Martha Otero Gallery in Los Angeles. To the Power Of consists of a wide variety of Stark’s signature sculptures meticulously crafted from paper, wood and other organic materials as well as a few paintings. Photos and more after the jump..

We highly recommend checking out Jen Stark's show that opens tonight, September 28, in Los Angeles. Martha Otero Gallery is pleased to present Jen Stark's first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, To the Power Of. Stark's work is instantly recognizable for its breathtaking color spectrums rendered in mind-bending forms cut from paper, wood and other organic materials.

Definitely something we are looking forward to, as Jen Stark is one of our favorite artists at the moment. Martha Otero Gallery is pleased to present Jen Stark's first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, To the Power Of. Stark's work is instantly recognizable for its breathtaking color spectrums rendered in mind-bending forms cut from paper, wood and other organic materials.

We just noticed that Jen Stark, the South Florida based artist who was featured in our March 2012 issue, just completed two new paper-cut works that are available at Cooper Cole in Toronto. The works are highly detailed paper cuts, with numerous colors and directional pieces all into one complete paper cut sculpture.

The March 2012 issue of Juxtapoz, featuring Andrew Schoultz on the cover, is now on newsstands and on our webstore. In a weird way, this issue began on the shores of Norway and ended in a desert in Tucson, Arizona, and found itself in the SFMoMA and in a studio in Miami, Florida. And we followed filmmaker, author, and performance artist Miranda July as she released her newest book, It Chooses You. Full preview after the jump . . .

One of our current favorite artists is Miami-based Jen Stark, currently featured in a 14-page interview and spotlight in the March 2012 issue of Juxtapoz. Some of our favorite work from Stark are her hand-cut paper sculptures, some that seem to almost explode and permeate off a wall, or create an illusion that the works descend deep into a tunnel of color within the gallery's walls. Stark's work is stunning to see in person.

Look what we got in the mail today: the March 2012 issue, featuring San Francisco-based fine artist, Andrew Schoultz. Mr. Schoultz is just one of the artists featured in our 18th Anniversary show at Copro Gallery this March, and just had work on view at the SFMoMA alongside the works of Paul Klee.
