Gallery Nucleus has added some new prints to their online shop, one of which is “Manfungus 1.3″ by Christian Rex van Minnen. I was first taken in with van Minnen’s work due to the similarity to 16th century painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo, although I find the formers work more interesting. The print is a giclee on velvet fine art paper, 18″ x 24″, signed and numbered in an edition of 25.

Digital artist David Ho (Interviewed), has added some new images to his website. His latest series of works is entitled “Element 5″ and focuses on the 5 elements: Earth, Fire, Metal, Water and Wood each one personified. David will also have some work in the upcoming group show “Curiouser and Curiouser: Inspired by ‘Alice In Wonderland” @ Gallery Nucleus this coming February 27th. I have always been a big fan of the imagery that David creates, and am happy to see his art getting into some galleries as well.

Take a look at the series, and then head on over to his site for more: David Ho Homepage
