This is a recent piece from one of my favorite artists, Stephane Halleux. It’s quite a bit more sinister in nature than much of his work, so it fits nicely here. All of his work is meticulously crafted and reflects his interest in comics. His leather clad creations are often more whimsical than dark, but they all seem to share the feeling of man and machine combined. See more at www.stephanehalleux.com (helps if you read french).
I think I like her work with leather the best. You don’t happen to know if she’s showing at any U.S. galleries?
