I Illustrate Maps To Reveal Their Hidden Stories. I like to expand the negative space of images. I like to find shapes where there are none really present, outside of squinting your eyes, or closing one eye and turning your head to one side. I am quite sure it is what we’ve been doing forever. It is why there are constellations in the sky. And why I disagree with many of them. There is always a graceful curve, there is always a silhouette of a face, a dancing girl, a seductive matron.
When I need to read maps, I still usually get lost. Arabian Sea British Inda Northern Yo-Yo Resources Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region!

Riley says that most of his creations are the result of pure improvisation and experimentation. “You can’t have any other intent but moving. You can’t worry about it, you can’t stop, you can’t choke. Take a look at Riley’s hypnotizing works and don’t miss his interview in the video below.

The world’s first inflatable concert hall will begin touring ravaged areas of Japan.
All photos courtesy Lucerne Art Festival Arc Nova 2013 About 1 year ago we reported that renowned Japanese architect Arata Isozaki will team up with British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor to create an inflatable concert hall. Dubbed Arc Nova, the mobile venue will tour the earthquake and tsunami-ravaged areas of Tohoku, delivering hope and encouragement in the form of music.
Well it appears that the structure is almost complete. Photos on their facebook page reveal what the interior and exterior of the completed structure looks like. Arc Nova takes about 2 hours to inflate and holds roughly 500 people. The wooden benches were completed during a workshop in August, in which volunteers showed up and used wood from tsunami-damaged cedar trees at Zuiganji Temple in Matsushima. In speaking to the Telegraph, Anish Kapoor said: “Ark Nova is the first mobile inflatable concert hall. The concert hall was established in collaboration with organizers of the Swiss Lucerne Festival. Related posts. Brand Logos With Subliminal Messages. How to Draw :) Www.hildendiaz.dk. Light Sculpture Produces Forest of Wild Tree Shadows. Bring the beauty and mystery of nature right into your home with this lovely light sculpture by creative collaboration Hilden & Diaz. The two artists, Thyra Hilden and Pio Diaz, blend their artistic interests by starting with what they describe as "existing cultural icons and basic elements, which they transform and modify to tamper with the common perception.
" Forms in Nature is a chandelier that is reminiscent of a ball of tree branches. The piece incorporates a light source at the center, which illuminates the tree and root system and casts a forest of wild trees onto the floor, walls, and ceiling of a room. The intensity of the light changes the setting of the room, moving from strong, dark shadows, to soft, flickering shadows as the light dims. Hilden & Diaz further describe the piece: "The shadows engulf the room and transforms the walls into unruly shadows of branches, bushes, and gnarled trees.

When Diego passed three years later, a philanthropist, art collector and old friend of the couple, Dolores Olmedo became the manager of their houses. She kept all of Kahlo’s belongings secretly guarded under lock and key for decades until she too passed away in 2004 and the fashion time capsule of an icon; a treasure chest, was finally unlocked.
Defiantly beautiful, tenacious, and veracious, Frida Kahlo was and still is one of the most revolutionary and influential women in modern culture. The Mexican artist, known for her surreal self-portraits, emblematic of her indigenous Mexican culture, her great love for her husband and her tragic disability, are still celebrated in exhibitions and retrospectives around the world. The latest exhibition however is not about her paintings, but her legendary wardrobe, which has been equally revolutionary and influential to modern culture. Next stop Mexico?! Spiritual Journey by Henry Asencio. “Spiritual Journey” by Henry Asencio Perhaps like all artists Henry Asencio cannot help but express his own spiritual quest in each work of his art. Reaching far beyond paint and canvas, Asencio’s abstract figurative works speak to the viewer on many levels.
As he renders her body, contemplates her thoughts and paints furiously to expose her very essence we are captivated by his ability to awaken our own soul consciousness. His paintings, like any spiritual journey are a unique and highly personal experience. In Asencio’s latest image titled “Spiritual Journey”, he sets out to calm our minds and nurture our spirits once again. Then add a journey replete with colorful experiences and textural highs and lows. Facebook.
