Whale in the Forests

A Beached Whale in the Forests of Argentina

Argentinean sculptor Adrián Villar Rojas creates enormous sculptural works that seem like remnants of a science fiction movie set, or bizarre moments from a surreal dream. One of my favorite pieces is My Family Dead (2009), in which he created a life-size blue whale in the woods outside Ushuaia, Argentina. The beached cetacean is pockmarked with tree stumps, making me wonder if it’s being slowly claimed by the forest or perhaps it’s a native resident. Beautiful.

Scissors and Spider

Artist Turns Confiscated Scissors into Creepy Spider Sculptures

Every year, the Transportation Security Administration confiscates countless objects deemed dangerous from passengers boarding flights at airport terminals across the US. Apart from guns, knives or aerosol, a lot of scissors end up in their recycling bin. Enter Christopher Locke, an artist who figured out he could actually use scissors to create creepy sculptures of spiders. It’s a known fact that spiders don’t have many human fans. Most people just think they look creepy and would simply squish them given the opportunity, even if they don’t pose a real threat. But, that’s not really a viable option when talking about the scissors spiders of Christopher Locke. You’d have a hard time stomping on one of them without having your foot pierced by sharp metal, so you just kind of have to accept them. Reminiscent of a classic Tim Burton movie, these metal sculptures are created from disassembled scissors, bent into shape and welded together in the creepy shape of spiders.

Aqueous Fluoreau

Aqueous Fluoreau

Photographer Mark Mawson has published a wonderful series of fourteen new underwater ink photographs entitled Aqueous Fluoreau. The images are stunning not only for their vibrant colors but their almost sculptural appearance. His previous projects from the same family, Aqueous and Aqueous II are also incredible and worth your time. If you liked this, also check out the work of Alberto Seveso.

الرسم بالحبر تحت الماء

هل تتوقع أنه من الممكن استخدام الحبر للرسم تحت الماء؟

صحيح أن الحبر والماء عدوّان لا يجتمعان إلا ويفسد أحدهما الآخر، لكن قبل أن تسارع بالإجابة شاهد هذه الصور .... تخيل أن هذا المشهد المدهش هو صورة لبقع من الحبر تم إلقاؤها في حوض ماء! صاحب هذا العمل المبدع هو الفنان مارك ماوسون وهو مصور متخصص في التصوير تحت الماء وله العديد من الأعمال المبدعة في هذا المجال، ومؤخراً قام ماوسون بنشر هذه المجموعة من الصور في ألبوم جديد اسمه Aqueous Fluoreau ليحقق انتشاراً هائلاً عبر شبكة الإنترنت. لم أجد أي تفاصيل تقنية عن الطريقة التي استخدمها ماوسون لإبداع هذه الأعمال ويبدو أنه فضل الاحتفاظ بسرها لنفسه، فلم يذكر أكثر من أنها أنواع مختلفة من الطلاء قام بإلقاءها في حوض ماء ثم التقط لحظات اصطدامها بالقاع وصعودها، لذا سأكتفي بوضع هذه المجموعة المدهشة من أعماله

sculptures out of SALT

The artist with a real thirst for his work : He builds giant sculptures out of SALT

If art is a matter of taste, then Motoi Yamamoto must be a truly seasoned professional, creating incredible sculptures and intricate mazes entirely out of salt.  An exhibition of the Japanese artist's work is currently showing at the Hakone Open-Air Museum in Kanagawa, Japan, where it is causing quite a stir. The story behind Yamamoto's unusual technique is sad and tragic. He was a third-year student at the Kanazawa College of Art in 1996 when his younger sister died aged 24, two years after being diagnosed with brain cancer. To both ease his grief and honour her memory, Yamamoto started working on a series of salt Salt has a special place in the death rituals of Japan, often being handed out to people at the end of a funeral so they can sprinkle it on themselves to ward off evil.  Yamamoto creates the amazing floor installations by filling a plastic bottle, usually used for machine oil, with white salt and then painstakingly sprinkling it on the floor. He said: 'Drawing a labyrinth with salt is like following a trace of my memory. Memories seem to change and vanish as time goes by.  'However, what I seek is the way in which I can touch a precious moment in my memories that cannot be attained through pictures or writings.  'I always silently follow the trace, that is controlled as well as uncontrolled from the start point after I have completed it.' At the end of an exhibition Yamamoto always requests that the salt is returned to the ocean to make its journey come full circle.
