Art with flair

Joseph Becker is definitely not afraid to play with colors, lines and space. According to Becker, color is what elicits the emotional response of the viewer from each piece. The erratic lines in his pieces are visually interesting and unexpected, while the hot pinks, neon oranges and rich greens he uses differentiate his work from other glass artists.

Check him out at Booth 217.

The photographs of Xavier Nuez capture the color and light of urban settings in the pitch black of night time. Each piece features the site of the photo, along with the time of night the photo was taken. Each piece features the site of the photo, along with the time of night the photo was taken. Most photos were taken at around two a.m. and capture the red, green and blue lights of industrial settings and alleys. The vivid colors of the photographs against the darkness of night make the viewer wonder where the abundance of light captured in the image is coming from.

See his work at Booth 200 on Lake Street.

Marc Sijan is a long-time fair artist who always draws a crowd at the top of the mall. His sculpture creations are so lifelike, viewers often lean toward them tentatively for feat that they may come alive and reach out at the crowd. Similar to mannequins, the life-like sculptures are different characters, including a butler, a dancer and a woman fresh from the swimming pool with synthetic water drops covering her life-like skin.

Marc Sijan's Booth 1101 is a must-see.
