Alex McLeod creates 3D landscapes that make you want to live in them. The work is focused on the transformation of matter, and the cycle of life. His candy coated compositions combined with his sense of style, have quickly gained him international recognition. He has been included on countless blogs, including that of rapper Kanye West and numerous upcoming exhibitions worldwide including; San Jose, Toronto, Sao Paulo, and San Francisco.
The works in "Imperial Lands" were all built as, ‘virtual installations, which illustrate the idea of life cycles.’ Alex aims to simulate the idea of recycled matter, and the interconnectedness of all living things through their molecular history. Voluminous smoke stacks and grass emit from bone, while coniferous trees are stripped of their natural colour to instead share the same surface. "Imperial Lands" is displayed in LED backlit ultrathin aluminium boxes, unique pieces of art to present the first landscapes on electronic imperial acid artshow.

"Expression is a powerful tool, to express yourself is to bare your soul and show the true beauty that can often lay dormant behind the facade of life. I use personal experience to express myself in my art form and am not afraid to show the many facets of the female form - sensuality, vulnerability, selfishness, pride, despair, adoration... Being self taught artist, I found that my creativity was set alight when working in an experimental environment, free of the constraints of conventional ideas and ways of thinking." - Asha Eve

ATM Gallery from Berlin will present some of their top artists at INOPERAbLE. ATM operates as a translator and mediator of Art presented in an urban environment. Its aim is to draw attention to the energetic expressions of an international street-art scene. in the space of a gallery. ATM shows a broad selection of art works created by international urban artist and invites its visitors to take part in the visual language of an urban surrounding, instead of leaving it to the street where it can only be acknowledged by some. In monthly changing exhibitions ATM shows different positions of urban, street- and graffiti artists and their impressive varieties of skills. ATM is not interested in taking streetart from the streets and establishing it as an art form in the white cube of contemporary art – instead ATM likes to awaken an awareness and tolerance of the art form. At the same time ATM supports urban artists by helping them to earn money by selling their works which enables them to continue working in the urban space.
Artists: Just, Emess, Eliot, Artiste Ouvrier, Dave the Chimp, Leon Raid, Prost.

Axel Void's latest work entitled "Numb", will be the first solo-exhibition in Germany for this Miami-born artist, who currently resides in Sevilla, Spain. Void has been making a name for himself as an artist both in galleries and street art circles for nearly 10 years. Black ink on paper and alluring atmospheric oil paintings prevail in Void's diverse selection of canvas and small-scale drawings, which often delve into different states of mind, twisted morality or cultural illnesses. It is with the utmost care and consideration that Void brings to the public light, the images and thoughts that many prefer to leave in the dark.

Mixed Greens is pleased to present Christina Mazzalupo’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. Stomachache is a multimedia exhibition quantifying and categorizing the eight weeks leading up to her 40th birthday. For the show, the results of her extensive, pseudoscientific data collection are translated into eight drawings—one to represent each week. These are accompanied by interpretive oil paintings and sketches, along with a video of over one hundred words associated with the endeavor. Charts from the collected data (pie and others) exist as unique clay sculptures. The objective of the project was to determine whether looking so scrupulously at the minutia in her life would provide a logical method of problem solving or become the source of greater disorder. As Mazzalupo puts it, “we often feel a compulsion to plunge into our habits and let the chatter of our minds run wild, to dissect and reassemble in order to figure it all out.” Mazzalupo engages and chronicles this running wild and all of its by-products. The result is a darkly comic look at the act of paying attention.

An ambitious creative spirit, MWM (Matt W. Moore) is travelling to Paris for one month to prepare, from scratch, for his first Paris Solo-Exhibition. He arrives with no art, no supplies, and no firm plan for this new series of canvas paintings. The ideas for the artworks have actualized while processing time spent absorbing French Culture, exploring this Mega-City, the vibrant colors, the exaggerated geometry, and the diverse architecture and fashion of Paris.
The "Crystals & Lasers" Series explores and celebrates the convergence of his dedication to various disciplines of design and fine art. The paintings are to be created entirely with spray paint, one of Matt's favorite mediums. But the designs are very clean, and appear almost digital in their precise details and craft. An honest, analog attempt to achieve the same depth and abstract geometry of his digital "Vectorfunk" style. The goal with each work is to have the viewers eye fall into the piece and get lost in the optical illusions, trying to figure out what is up, down, left, and right. Welcome to the Future!
