Vanity Fair Mosaic

Fashionable iconic mosaic images are made from recycled covers of Vanity Fair magazine where the titles are quite irregular.
Antonio Chiesa aka Village9991 was definitely inspired by mosaics and he works in various forms and and artistic techniques.








Nice right? I adore the first piece!

skateboard art

haroshi:

Japanese wood sculptor haroshi specializes in creating three-dimensional art pieces
from used and broken skateboard decks.

Although haroshi uses one type of material for his art, skate decks vary widely in size and structure depending on the factory, brand and model. in creating his sculptures, he filters through thousands of old decks and individually picks out the perfect board to use. After they are stacked, cut and shaved to form, they are painted and polished to a candy-like finish.

Not available to the outside observer is another one of haroshi's artistic details. during construction, each sculpture is given a "soul", a broken metal skateboard piece that is laid in the core of the piece. Unkei, a 12th century japanese buddha sculptor,
had a similar practice of including a crystal ball in his statues as the "soul" of the buddha.



















I am so blown away. I like the colours combination. Whooo!

Function: installation for design x science meeting "earth : materials for design"
Site: miraikan, koto-ku, tokyo

Curator: mao imaizumi, masanori onishi

“Puddle” was part of an exhibition titled “Earth: materials for design” that just recently closed at the Miraikan in Tokyo."






The reason I post this piece of art work up is simply because of the simple usage of material and the fusion of the colours. I saw one resembles of this work during one of the Graduation I went this year. The forms are in undulating shapes though. Like sea of mountain.
