Eugenio Recuenco versus Pablo Picasso

in , , ,

I always admire artists' interpretations and inspirations they do from challenging or taking as a course other famous artwork. This time I was hyped up by the way acclaimed Spanish photographer Eugenio Recuenco challenged another great spaniard Pablo Picasso and created a series of photographies inspired by that genius.

Unstable Matter kinetic installation by Tommi Grönlund and Petteri Nisunen

in , ,

"Unstable Matter is kinetic sculpture by Finnish artists Tommi Grönlund and Petteri Nisunen, a.k.a. Grönlund-Nisunen. The moving table contains thousands of small ball bearings that move and crash within the confines of a giant wobbly table, sort of a modern take on a rain stick." via Colossal The table is part of several kinetic and magnetized works by the duo that were recently on view at Esther Schipper in Berlin.

Pencil Carving by Cerka Hegyzo

in , , ,

I can't explain how much energy and patience one need to carve a flower from a carrot for a lovely salad but this pencil carving is out of my understanding and simply amazing. Budapest based let's say miniaturist sculptor Cerka Hegyzo creates masterpieces from a pencil's graphite. Endless inspiration ahead http://cerkahegyzo.deviantart.com/

Sculptural Waves by Mario Ceroli

"The idiosyncratic Mr. Ceroli is one of the least known but most influential artists of the Italian post-war scene." says NY Times His work spans over forty years and I encourage you to take a deep dive into his website to explore his wide range of installations and sculptures. Two of his most beautiful works depict crashing waves sculpted from thin layers of precisely cut wood and glass titled La Vague and Maestrale. via

Surreal Self-Portraits by Noell S. Oszvald

in , , ,

Hungarian photographer Noell S. Oszvald doesn’t have a huge portfolio yet, nor much is known about her – but the little that’s out there is enough to awe everyone. A 22-year-old presents a portfolio of powerful self-portraits, and one can hardly believe that she actually just started taking photos a little over a year ago. Her photos are all black and white, because Noell finds colors distracting. “I feel the same way about clothes and other matters of appearance, which why I like to reduce my images to forms, composition and content,” she says.

The Street Art of IEMZA

in , , , ,

IEMZA is the alias of an artist living and working in Reims, France. He is fascinated by chaotic settings, reinforced concrete and abandoned building – basically, rubble. Which forms the mainspring for most of his output. He views these disregarded spaces as fertile ground in which his creations can be born – germinated paradoxically by what appears to have sunk into oblivion and desertion.

"The rendering of my wall compositions is close to a sketch, integrating a vast hierarchy of lines."
