Lyle XOX – The face as canvas
Makeup and mixed media artist Lyle Reimer (Lyle XOX) has become a sensation for his self-portraits, created using entirely found and recycled objects. The Canadian artist’s “facial collages” turn him into a living sculpture.
Quick Hits: Into the Blue
These works are from “Into the Blue”, Peggy Ann Turner’s latest solo exhibition, a series of landscapes evoking the colour, light, architecture and nature of the Greek Aegean Islands. She works in acrylic paint, pencil, and found papers to create the figurative/abstract collage paintings.
Kim-Lee Kho: The Heart as Art

Rodriguez: Found by the River
Artist Daniel Rios Rodriguez uses discarded and organic materials gathered on walks in the San Antonio River Valley where he lives. He uses shells, feathers, rope, and other found objects as he collages and assembles his mixed media works.
