The Basement Stacks by Wary Meyers, who writes:
“Books breaking through the (faux) wall downstairs, referencing the ‘basement stacks’ every library has. In this case it’s as if those stacks had been sealed up during some remodel, and are anthropomorphically breaking through, referencing the old library, history, roots, poltergeists… Created for the VIA Advertising Agency, which recently renovated and moved their offices into the old Baxter building, which served as Portland’s public library from 1888 until the 1960s.”

Look closely to see if you can discern the faint outlines of two faces, an arm (larger version here).

This one is Lucas Cranach the Elder’s Judith with the Head of Holofernes (1530), which I selected for obvious reasons, and here is a time-lapse video of the actual painting of this piece. Loads more at the artists’ website.
