Ecdysis by Sougwen Chung

Our friend and multi talented artist Sougwen Chung released all information about her latest installation "Ecdysis" ECDYSIS is an immersive audio-visual installation depicting biological and architectural adaptation. In Ecdysis, kinetic light, scored by ambient sound, is cast on 36 interwoven planes, suspended in space by their tensional integrity.

Ecdysis is a culmination of contrasts, tracing across gradients of the geometric and organic, the digital and the physical, the melodic and the dissonant. Viewers of the piece are invited to walk within the installation to experience the piece from multiple perspectives, rejecting the notion of audience as passive spectator as they themselves become enveloped forms within the world of Ecdysis.

Giants by Os Gemeos

Brazilian graffiti artists Os Gemeos turns six multi-story silos on Granville Island into their trademark ‘Giants.’ The murals on the 70-foot towers are now the largest paintings ever attempted by the pair, an astounding feat considering Os Gemeos completely donated a month of their time to create the non-profit art project. An Indiegogo fundraising campaign to recoup costs associated with painting the silos has been extremely successful.

Gustavo Silva Nunez

Gustavo Silva Nuñez is an astonishingly talented artist from Valencia, Venezuela, who paints people in water with meticulous accuracy. He paints men and women in soothing and dreamy pools, tubs, and seas. His perfect mastery of shading and highlighting, as well as the water’s swirls, bubbles, and distortion, makes the paintings look incredibly real. The artist pushes the boundaries between reality and painting even further by interacting with his paintings and playfully posing as if the people he painted were really there beside him.

Haroshi makes his art pieces recycling old used skateboards.

Sleepy embroidered animals by Chloe Giordano

Based in Oxford, England, illustrator Chloe Giordano creates delicate depictions of miniature animals rendered with freehand embroidery. The final works of a sleeping fawn or mouse are scarcely larger than the size of a thimble, yet can take long periods of time to complete as she mixes myriad thread colours to achieve perfection for each piece. Giordano also creates various 3D sculptures which you can see more of over on her Tumblr, and says that she is currently available for projects and commissions. via Colossal

Art of Anna Halldin Maule

Initially, these images appear to be crisp, elegant photographs. However, in reality, each hyperrealistic image is an oil painting created by artist Anna Halldin Maule. With unbelievable attention to detail, the Hawaii-based artist produces amazingly detailed, beautifully feminine portraits. The artist's process is a collaboration with photographer husband Tom Maule. The couple develops a photo shoot to serve as the inspiration for the idea that Maule has in mind for her next painting. Her recent work is an exploration of femininity and beauty juxtaposed with society's obsession with material goods.

Hyper Realistic Drawings by Monica Lee

“I like to challenge myself with complex portraits especially people with freckles or beard,” says Monica Lee, who often works from photographic portraits to create seemingly identical drawings. Surprisingly, Lee worked in the digital world for 12 years before making the jump to illustration. But it certainly doesn’t show. She now spends 3-4 weeks on a single drawing. The artist attributes her love for hyperrealism to her father, who worked in the field of photography.

Taisuke Mohri

"Japanese artist Taisuke Mohri creates these photo realistic images using only colored pencil on paper. Close-ups of Taisuke's work show the detail in each fold of his subject's skin. Taisuke is even able to illustrate the translucence of skin, something that we normally would only notice when looking at our own flesh. In Taisuke's other collections, he demonstrates the same ability when recreating the surface of carved stone with the same attention to detail." via
