Rune Guneriussen These dream-like installations are assembled, and then photographed by Norwegian artist Rune Guneriussen. Just imagine being out for a walk in Norway’s countryside, turning a corner and discovering a magical forest of lamps, a tangle of chairs, or a river of books. Sadly, once the photograph is taken, Rune removes the installation, the only proof of it’s existence being these images… sort of like waking up from an amazing dream that you could have sworn was real. As an artist, I believe strongly that art itself should be questioning and bewildering as opposed to patronising and restricting. Rune Guneriussen’s site
Minjae Lee – Colorful Illustrations | Illustration Minjae Lee is a young South Korean artist whose work is filled with powerful colors, aggressive scenes and a clever blend of beauty, innocence and fragility. At just 22 years old, he’s a self-taught artist, that uses old-fashioned tools, such as markers, pens, crayons, acrylics, to create his illustrations. His dramatic works are all about pattern and texture that just add more authenticity to his illustrations. For purchasing his canvas prints and other products, check out the artist’s website. I have loved color since I was 7 year old. (All images via Minjae Lee)

A Portrait of Tobias Wong Using 13,138 Dice Canadian artist and designer Tobias Wong died last year at the young age of 35, or more specifically, 13,138 days. In tribute, his friend Frederick McSwain created this immense portrait of Wong entitled Die using 13,138 dice as part of the BrokenOff BrokenOff exhibition at Gallery R’Pure in NYC in memoriam to the artist during NY Design Week. McSwain via Core77: The idea of a die itself was appropriate—the randomness of life. It felt like [a medium] he would use. The dice were first meticulously organized into individual sheets of 361 pieces and then laid to rest free on the floor without adhesive.
Street art in Poland Art & Design Usually artists work alone, but sometimes a collaboration works out well. A good example is the street artists Chazme, Lump and Sepe. Share Drawn By Different Artists The Powerpuff Girls (Captain Caveman) Tiny People's Wonderful World of Food Ready for some "miniature" stories? Using tiny model figures and food, Seattle-based artist Christopher Boffoli creates fantastic scenes that mimic everyday life! His collection, titled Disparity, is shown in galleries all across the United States. Why did the artist start down this creative path? "The hand-painted figures that I work with are made for HO scale model train sets," he tells us. "It is probably no coincidence that around age ten I had a large, elaborate model train layout that my father built for my brother and me. "I suppose there is in some part a god-like feeling to having command of an entire world which you can rearrange at any capricious whim. Update: We got in touch with the artist to ask him more questions, including why he chose to work with food. Why do most all of your scenes involve food? Like many young boys, I built scale models of cars, planes and boats when I was a kid. What do you find to be the most enjoyable part of putting these scenes together?

Connecticut College Art Collections including Visual Resources Special Collections Studio Art Dept Art History Dept Museum Studies Architectural Studies Cool sculptures by Stephane Halleux Stephane Halleux was born on July 6th in Chenée (Liège), Belgium. Shortly thereafter–and very often against his will—he was taken off to museums where he was supposed to be awakened to art in all its forms. At the age of 10, while visiting the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the work of sculptor Jean Tinguely suddenly caught his attention. He discovered the magic power of strange play-like structures without any utility purpose. In 1995, during his last high study year at Saint Luc in Liege, Stéphane created the first pieces that look similar to his current works. His first exhibitions were such a success that since 2005 he has devoted all his time to his realizations. Official website You might also like Comments Michael Dachstein Inspiration junkie :)
