After a long immersion in abstract painting, Hans Georg Koehler's art has stepped into the starkest of figurative expressions, disclosing human figures that evoke Francis Bacon in their vulnerability to the painterly voids that surrounds them, and in their aura of indefinable anguish.

A pioneer for her use of Photoshop and digital imaging, New York-based artist Meghan Boody (born 1964) is best known for her dreamlike tableaux, composed of hundreds of Photoshop layers, depicting young women in classically masculine, heroic quests, equal parts Dr Freud and Dr Frankenstein. Boody photographs costumed models in her studio and then digitally transports them into fantastical environments and compositions recalling archetypal scenes from mythology and literature, her method a contemporary update, in technology and sensibility, of the combination prints of Victorian Pictorialist photographer Henry Peach Robinson. As the artist puts it, "Each series looks at different strategies of aligning with one's inner beast ... Fascinated by the processes of psychoanalysis and other healing modalities, I use my work as a playing field where I focus on and hopefully tap into different mythic archetypes of the unconscious." Combining elements of fairy tale, myth and personal memory, Boody's surreal, uncanny images bear the unmistakable marks of digital assemblage and manipulation. We Are Gods in the Chrysalis, the first publication on Boody's now well-known work, includes dioramas and photo-vitrines alongside photographic work.

German photographer Thomas Wrede (born 1963) has been fascinated by the billboards of Manhattan as a photographic motif. Focusing in on details framed by passersby and street life, he thus creates cityscapes that transform the city into a stage set on which the larger-than-life ideals of the advertising industry merge imperceptibly with the realism of the street and the reality of life. As in earlier series of photographs, so in this one Wrede's formal interest is in shifts in the relative size of things and in the generation of different levels of reality. Snapshots of multilayered situations combine to create a classic collage, a real collage that exists only for that split second in which the shutter is depressed and only when glimpsed from the camera's own angle.

German painter Wolfgang Neumann employs vivid colors and powerful brushstrokes in works that depict soldiers, unicorns, empty-faced messiahs and floating eyeballs. This volume contains recent canvases, assemblages and drawings.

For German artist Stefanie Gutheil (born 1980), painting is an expression of the untamed imagination, and she unleashes a fantastical cast of asexual ghouls, monsters and freaks upon her canvases.

In Paris, Album I Jochen Stücke depicts the Paris of his imagination with a series of luscious sepia-toned ink sketches.

Jochen Stücke's images provide a fascinating journey through a world of associations and memories.
