The Organized Chaos of Tobias Kroeger

Tobias Kroeger is an artist from Bremen, Germany. His roots trace back to graffiti and I just can't get enough of his work, both on canvas and on walls. Each piece exudes an aggressive explosion of color and an expression of loud, unconstrained energy.

Tobias painted his first graffiti at the age of 12, and his work was mainly influenced by the New York graffiti scene. In 1997 he started to work as a freelance graphic artist and changed in 2013 from graphic design and public murals to canvas and contemporary art. Follow him on Instagram to keep up with his works.

'Scrap Floats' by Aggie Zed

Virginia-based artist Aggie Zed creates fascinating ceramic and mixed media sculptures, paints excellent visual art on paper and draws rather well. In the art world we would call her a triple threat and she does it all very well. There's plenty of her work I wanted to feature here, but I'd rather leave you to lurk around her website and instead I'll focus your attention to her Scrap Floats . These sculptures are comprised of animals, human parts, and other machine-like scraps. The figures are striking in both their surrealism and their humility: disfigured humans sprout wings, fish live out of water, and horses have intricately arranged metal frames for bodies. They're a little bit steampunk, a little bit classical and a whole lot intriguing. Aggie received a BFA in sculpture and painting from the University of South Carolina. She currently lives with her husband in Gordonsville where she keeps animals in her life, especially chickens, which defy anthropomorphis...
