A Look at Art in the Modern Day.
Artist Seo Young Deok I’ve always been fascinated by chain. It’s solid yet flexible. Smooth but unforgiving. It has a certain rugged beauty to it. Well, aparently, Korean artist Seo Young Deok has the same fascination. Actually, his fascination is one of obsession. Deok creates beautiful human body sculptures with chain (not just bicycle chain, but the bicycle […]
Artists Judith Ann Braun, a contestant on season 1 of ‘Work of Art: The Next Great Artist’, does what she calls “fingerings” to create beautiful, flowing symmetrical works. She uses various materials (charcoal, pastel, chalk, etc.) to paint her works. My favorite part of her work is her skill in using negative space so effectively. […]
The Unbelievable Work of Judith Schaechter! Stained Glass Artist Judith Schaechter may make the some of the most compelling stained glass work I’ve ever seen. I’m reposting this because it is still, to this day, one of my favorite finds since I started this blog. This is another instance where I’ll not bother waxing poetic. […]
Odd and quirky. That’s how I define this art installation at Dutch railway station Overvecht Station. It’s a slide. It’s a slide for commuters. It’s a slide for adults. It’s a fun addition to an area that’s so business and professionally oriented. Though it’s weak as “art” it’s makes up for it in spirit. It’s […]
The Unbelievable Work of Judith Schaechter! This comes directly from my friend Alyson. (Yes, the actual one this time!) She’d told me about a woman who did incredible stained glass work. I’d forgotten the name and lost the scrap of paper I’d jotted down the info on. But after my call for help from my […]
A 1 Kilometer Comic Strip It took a team of 11 writers and 111 designers to make the world’s largest comic strip, stretching 1 kilometer along the banks of the Rhone River, in Lyon, France. The project went up on Friday night and was taken back down on Sunday. But every panel was scanned and […]
Banksy: The Unofficial Social Voice of the UK. This Artist seemed like a good follow up to the French street Artist JR. Both are guerrilla artists, renegades, “vandals” and “criminals.” But they are more than that. They are a loud social voice. A voice for of an area, our world and of our time. They […]
When Rubber No Longer Meets The Road: The Amazing Sculptures of Ji Yong Ho Korean artist Ji Yong Ho may be one of the most interesting, and amazing, sculptors I’ve ever seen. He takes a hard to use material, like old rubber tires, and converts them into something entirely new. It’s like he breathes life […]
Sexy, Stylish and Fashionable! The Work of Sebastian Errazuriz Sebastian Errazuriz, a Chilean born, New York based artist and designer builds large scale avant-garde public art installations meant to shake us out of our daily doldrums. They are sharp social commentary without a beating you over the head. The truth is, there is no need […]
Marker Madness I’ve seen people paint on walls. I’ve seen people create graphic images, drawings, illustrations or murals. I’ve even seen these works stretch past a singular wall to encompass many walls, the ceiling or the floor. But I’ve never seen the level of precision, talent and effort put into a work like that of […]
