As part of a royal event in Abu Dhabi, Italian artist Edoardo Tresoldi (previously) was tasked with the creation an immense environment of architectural elements built from wire. The variety of objects fully encompass the event space, creating elegant partitions and environments within the 7,000 square meter space. The installation was designed and built over a period of 3 months in collaboration with Dubai-based studio Designlab Experience. Lit from both above and below, the suspended wire domes, columns, and arches have a translucent ghost-like appearance, referencing classical architectural with Tresoldi’s modern aesthetic. After the event, sections of the piece are scheduled to be re-installed separately in universities, parks, and museums across the UAE capital. TOP 10 art installations of 2016.

When Accidental Art Is Better Than Your Actual Art (12+ Pics) Minimalist Single Line Tattoos By Iranian-German Artist (15+ Pics) Starry Night LEGO Mosaic. In the Spring of 2001, I created a large mosaic of one of my favorite paintings, Van Gogh's Starry Night.
The mosaic is made completely out of LEGO bricks and measures 45" (144 studs) wide by 36" (116 studs) tall. It took several months and approximately ten thousand bricks to complete. This is what the mosaic looked like immediately before I hung it up on my wall. Most of the mosaic is on six 15" square base plates, with three smaller 6" × 15" plates along the bottom. You can see several of my Blue Tubs as well, filled with sorted bricks waiting for my next project; whatever that may be.
I started this project with only four Blue Tubs, each of which comes with 1,200 pieces, and quickly needed to buy four more. These are the first two 15" × 15" panels hung up on the wall. Three panels -- the entire top row of the mosaic -- are now hung and the whole thing hasn't come crashing down yet. Here's the completed image, together for the first time. A still tighter shot. Incredible Living Painting With Realistic Body Paint.

Ephemeral Portraits Cut from Layers of Wire Mesh by Seung Mo Park. Using a process that could be the new definition of meticulous, Korean sculptor Seung Mo Park creates giant ephemeral portraits by cutting layer after layer of wire mesh.
Each work begins with a photograph which is superimposed over layers of wire with a projector, then using a subtractive technique Park slowly snips away areas of mesh. Each piece is several inches thick as each plane that forms the final image is spaced a few finger widths apart, giving the portraits a certain depth and dimensionality that’s hard to convey in a photograph, but this video on YouTube shows it pretty well. Park just exhibited this month at Blank Space Gallery in New York as part of his latest series Maya (meaning “illusion” in Sanskrit).
