Ask Now the Beasts by Tara Sellios, derived from the Biblical Book of Job, weaves together art historical, literary and biblical references to create Sellios's vision of an apocalyptic world. Sellios's highly detailed large format still life photographs capture the beauty of the grotesque as skeletons fly, insects swarm, and dried flowers dance. Her accompanying narratives complement and extend the viewer’s journey into her vision.

Artists like Ingrid V. Wells increasingly use their platforms to challenge societal norms and advocate for mental and physical well-being through their work. With this collection of oil on linen, Ingrid V. Wells paints about the journey of radical self-compassion. It is a fierce rebellion, she considers “pretty punk rock”, to stay in your joy when blanketed in seemingly depressing circumstances. With this body of work she responds to her personal puzzles with the aim of inspiring the viewer to greet challenges with curiosity. Ingrid’s paintings serve as a visual respite for joyful rebellion in the face of obstacles.
