The Best Tattoo Artists in the World. Jeremy Geddes. The Paintings of Jason de Graaf. 50 Actually Talented Photographers You Should Be Following on Instagram. Unique Natural Sculptures Blend Layers of Stone with Glass. Tokyo-born artist Ramon Todo creates unexpected sculptures by drawing upon basic, solid materials found in nature. To create each piece, he first locates stones and bricks discovered on personal walks through various landscapes. He then removes segments of the stone, which symbolize the history of the land in which it originated, and replaces it with layers of aesthetically beautiful, polished glass.

By blending the two opposite substances, Todo redefines the surface of the materials, creating a new and unexpected texture. The fragmented matter works closely together to form the rough, yet sparkling, sculpture, and the juxtaposition of the delicate material wedged between layers of hard, solid rock is visually exciting. In each piece, the rock is supported by the glass, redefining a typical understanding of stability and fragility. Ramon Todo at Art Front Gallery via [My Amp Goes to 11] iGNANT. Photographer Jung Lee lives and works in Seoul, South Korea where she created and photographed this series of text-based light installations. Lee placed glowing word creations made from neon lighting on empty landscapes, contrasting sentimental phrases with stark layouts of deserted plains or barren snow fields.
