Llaguno-Ciani delivers two arresting paintings from Italy, "OFW" and "La Pùi Bella del Mondo." Ramilo offers fascinating urban yet personal interpretations of the contemporary woman with an altar of found objects, a breathtaking wall of sandpaper, and cigarette butts. French artist de Lorme lends provocative pop art pieces on the power of women's sexuality today.
