Xie Molin. The Creators Project. Chinese painter Xie Molin may come from a traditional background—he studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing and the Edinburgh College of Art—but that hasn’t stopped him from questioning the traditional way of painting. Strongly influenced while studying in the UK, he was inspired by the multidisciplinary exchange between the arts and natural sciences, and ever since has been focused on the form of painting and the study of tools. Now he modifies drawing machines with the purpose of exploring new ways of painting. Below are some images of paintings executed by the “ XYZ Triaxial Linkage Painting Machine” that Molin customized by transforming an axial cutting plotter, which is a tool commonly found in ad production houses that cuts out shapes in vinyl and other materials. Molin replaced the cutting part with a pencil, pen, calligraphy brush, paint extruder and even a scraper to experiment with different techniques.

When writing for his graduation thesis Molin said: Ed bing lee - fiber art. Dorothy | You Took My Name. Dennis Hopper's 300-work collection up for auction. NEW YORK - Dennis Hopper shot two bullet holes through an Andy Warhol portrait of Mao Zedong, but instead of getting mad, Warhol called the "Easy Rider" star a collaborator. Warhol's "Mao" is among 300 works of fine art and memorabilia up for auction at Christie's this week that were owned by the late actor and director of the 1969 counterculture film. The 1972 colored screenprint is expected to bring $20,000 to $30,000. Most of the items adorned the actor's home in Venice Beach, Calif. Hopper, who was twice nominated for Oscars and earned a star last year on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, died of prostate cancer at his home in May.

Hopper was already stricken with cancer when he attended the ceremony for the unveiling of his commemorative star. Hopper began collecting in the 1960s after actor Vincent Price, an avid collector of impressionist art, told him: "You need to collect. "Mao" and Conner's "Picnic on the Grass" are the highest-priced items. - Associated Press.
