The Week-End

Our most popular posts this week featured a series of macro photographs of crushed insects by Volker Steger, an amazing sculpture made of plastic caps gathered from bottles consumed over the course of nine years by Japanese artist Satoshi Hirose, astoundingly detailed bonsai treehouses by Takanori Aiba and abandoned structures transformed into humorous and visually striking portraits by Russian based street artist Nomerz.

Video: BELL TOWERS - Scavengers

Playing with different techniques and materials, the good people over at Expialidocious created this delightful new video for BELL TOWERS' track ‘Scavengers’. Great editing and creative use of everyday objects is what makes this video so cool. Sometimes, simplicity is best.

Frictions

Antonio Marguet is a fine art still life photographer based in London. 'Frictions' between materials and objects that operate on different levels is a constant through his practice. His narratives tackle and celebrate the absurd.

The Living Wall

Russian based street artist Nomerz transforms abandoned structures into massive portraits that are humorous and visually striking. Nomerz uses both the architecture (ledges, windows, eaves) and its defects (cracks, holes, rust) to create his grotesque faces, achieving a wide range of emotions that permeate the works’ surroundings.

Pop Culture Anatomy

Alfred Steiner is both master draftsman and pop culture surgeon. Steiner creates disorienting, dreamy and disturbingly beautiful drawings using instantly recognizable outlines from the most vital and basic parts of human anatomy. "His works on hot press paper consists of characters and scenes from the popular to the ambitious—Shaggy and Fred from Scooby Doo!, Betty Boop, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Saint Anthony—all composed of jutting, blood-tipped bones and glistening, sinewy muscle."
