Mooi ‘West - Group Exhibition - Academe Minerva Groningen
I was pleasantly surprised to find Lennard Schuurmans’ work in my inbox last week. Schuurmans creates some amazing, playful murals and illustrations.
S.P.E.E.D. (Rapid firing spit wad shooter).
Nathan Dube was the first artist featured on Today in Art when I launched the site in November 2007. Since then I have changed the style of how I post and I wanted to revisit Nathan to feature more of his work. I love the childlike nature of his work as it invites the viewer to interact with it. Another wonderful touch is the instructions that come with many of the pieces, illustrated like a comic.
Creative iPhone, iPod and iPad apps
I decided to write a post about iPhone apps to explore how art is influencing the world around us. I set out to find apps that are creative and imagery to interact with the user in a unique way. Games immediately come to mind when I begin my search, but I started to see amazing utility apps like clocks and music generators that have been completely re-imagined.
The Hanging Man - silicon, paint and human hair - 140.0 x 50.0 cm
Sam Jinks creates amazing and erie hyperrealistic sculptures that you would expect to move at any moment. Jinks’ attention to detail is superb.
TransNatural
I first found Lucy McRae when she was collaborating with Bart Hess. Lucy’s latest work, TransNatural will be opening this Friday, February 19, 2010. TransNatural explores “the crossover between nature and technology.”
Baby, It's Over - mixed media
If this work looks familiar, it might be because Gary Taxali’s illustrations have appeared in many magazines as well as Amiee Mann’s album art. Taxali’s illustrations have a rich inviting quality about them that draw me in to tell me their story.
Smallpox, HIV and an 'Untitled Future Mutation'
The thing I love most about these glass sculptures is my response when I realize what they are. At first glance I see beautiful 3-D glass sculptures that have been crafted with perfection. When I realize what they represent, I get a feeling of eeriness, awe and curiosity. Luke Jerram creates beautiful sculptures of really “ugly” viruses.
Erik Natzke is an interactive designer pushing to blur the lines between technology and creativity. Armed with his keen design and programming skills, Natzke renders amazing works of digital art.
dark matter #01 - 800 x 650 x 450 cm
Dennis Feddersen thinks big and his sculpture truly invades the space it occupies. Indoors or outside, his sculpture installations force their way into view as they overtake the surrounding environment. There is an uncomfortable beauty that I find in these installations as they seem playfully dangerous.
