Kerry Skarbakka

in ,

"In his photographic self-portrait series Struggle to Right Oneself, artist Kerry Skarbakka captures himself in moments of suspended peril: falling from trees, tumbling head over heels in painfully precarious falls, slipping nude in the shower, or teetering on the edge of a fateful leap from a railway bridge." via Colossal

This photographic work is in response to this delicate state. It comprises a culmination of thought and emotion, a tying together of the threads of everything I perceive life has come to represent. It is my understanding and my perspective, which relies on the shifting human conditions of the world that we inhabit. It’s exploration resides in the sublime metaphorical space from where balance has been disrupted to the definitive point of no return. It asks the question of what it means to resist the struggle, to simply let go. Or what are the consequences of holding on?

Flexible Paper Sculptures of Li Hongbo

in , , , ,

The creativity has no limits and boundaries and it can stretches and be flexible just like paper sculptures of Beijing artist Li Hongbo "A book editor and designer, the artist became fascinated by traditional Chinese toys and festive decorations known as paper gourds made from glued layers of thin paper which can be stored flat but then opened to reveal a flower or other shape. He applied the same honeycomb-like paper structure to much larger human forms resulting in these highly flexible sculptures." says Colossal

Stavronikita Project - The Sinking World

in , ,

The SS Stavronikita ship lies at the bottom of the ocean at 13.8 N, 59.38 W, right off the Caribbean island of Barbados. It is the spot Andreas Franke has discovered and chosen to stage a game full of overflowing decadence and exuberance. This became a playground of the second project of Andreas Frankes "The Sinking World" with an underwater exhibition. You don't need to dive now to see the part of it. http://www.behance.net/gallery/Stavronikita-Project/6346483

Living Together in Paradise - Diorama by Nguyen Manh Hung

in , ,

Vietnam based contemporary artist Nguyen Manh Hung did "Living Together in Paradise" diorama sculpture in 2011 now showing at The 7th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art taking place in Brisbane, Australia.

I was born and raised for 20 years in an apartment block in the Vietnamese capital city of Hanoi. Contemporary thinking might see this urban structure as one that isolates people even while living at such close quarters. I experienced it more as a complex "village" stacked vertically rather than spread out horizontally.

"Living Together in Paradise" is an extension and improvement of this urban village and living space. One where farming, growing vegetables and upgraded living conditions prevail. A place where people share everything, but do not have much privacy. I asked myself: "Could angels live together in a paradise?"
