Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
Apr 13, 2012 Have you ever been to a thrift store (think Goodwill or Salvation Army) and noticed that they usually carry a small selection of landscape paintings? Artists Chris McMahon and Thryza Segal decided to inject a little fun into these discarded works and give them a second life by adding monsters to the scenic landscapes.
Adding Monsters to Thrift Store Paintings
At just 22 years old, Italian artist Diego Fazo has developed the skill to create photo-realistic drawings using a simple charcoal pencil. His latest creation, pictured below, has drawn hundreds of positive comments on his Deviant Art profile. Don’t tell me you can tell the image below is a drawing and not a high-definition photograph, because I don’t buy it. In fact people were so skeptical this incredible piece of art was drawn by hand that young Diego Fazo had to put up some photos of the work in progress just to lay doubts to rest.
These Photos Are Actually Pencil Perfect Drawings

If you are already exposed to the astonishing wall hanging sculptures of El Anatsui, then you will need no further introduction of him. But if not, here is a brief introduction about this legendary Ghanaian sculptor who lives and works in Nigeria. Brahim El Anatsui was born in 1944 in Anayko, Ghana. After graduating from Nkrumah University of technology in Ghana, he moved to Nigeria in 1975 to take up a teaching job at Nsukka where he is lecturing at the University’s art institute on sculpture till today. Trained as a sculptor, earlier Anatsui worked with wood, found objects, iron, clay and paint.

Paper artist Joel Cooper folds these astounding masks and tessellations from single pieces of paper. Given the right conditions I might be expected to fold a piece of paper in half, and on a good day even into fourths, but I simply can’t fathom the patience and understanding required to transform paper into three-dimensional objects like this. You can see more of his work here and some of the pieces seen here are available on Etsy .

On a recent museum visit, Artsology saw this painting by the 16th Century painter Domenicos Theotocopoulos, who is better known as "El Greco" ("The Greek"). While he was born in Crete, El Greco later lived in Italy, followed by Spain. This painting is titled Christ Driving the Money Changers from the Temple , and is dated circa 1570.

Albert (Tapper) Torney HOAX | Avasay
This email was sent to me a few months ago. Recently I have been contacted (twice) by people suggesting this is a HOAX (see comments below). From my (limited) investigations, Albert Torney did exist, and did collect bottles and cans. He also had a race horse named in his honour. The evidence that he created these sculptures is however sketchy.If you keep on doing one thing, should have some reasons, maybe because one thing, one person or enthusiasm. Japanese artist Yamamoto Motoi was born in Hiroshima, six years later in 1994, his younger sister died from complications due to brain cancer, Yamamoto use his way to memorialize – salt painting. I can’t imagine the painful he undergo, but these sprawling salt painting looks like a best way to heal his sadness.

They’re Alive: Carnival of the Animals | 5th at 58th
Presenting our 2011 Holiday Windows The BG Holiday Windows are a most welcome institution — they give a lot of pleasure to us while others do the hard work. We have the easy part—we show up marvel and take pictures. David Hoey and the visual team have the hard part: planning, building, perfecting, and collecting antiques for more than two years. Well the work is over and the windows are here: The Carnival of the Animals have arrived. Each window features a specific material that depicts animals you’ll find from icebergs to the tropics—but rarely on Fifth Avenue.Arts & culture
