Incredibly Detailed Shadow Sculptures by Diet Wiegman Artist Diet Wiegman manages to sculpt mounds of irregularly shaped structures that are transformed into an intricately detailed silhouette when a light shines on it from a precise angle. Similar to the light and shadow sculptures of artistic duo Tim Noble and Sue Webster, Wiegman leaves audiences in awe with his puzzling ability to cast remarkably figurative shadows from heaps of seemingly abstract sculptures. An oddly configured work that branches out unpredictably is, in fact, meticulously sculpted to cast a shadow that realistically resembles Michael Jackson. The King of Pop is resurrected with a simple spotlight aimed at the sculpture from a very specific angle. Similarly, Wiegman recreates the Venus de Milo, Atlas, and even Michelangelo's David.

Artworks of Johnson Tsang | A blog about sculptures by Johnson Tsang Amazing Sculptures of glassed layers by Ben young | Damn Indian Ben Young is a self-taught glass artist from Waihi Beach, New Zealand now residing in Sydney, Australia. He has been making glass sculptures for over 10 years. Each of his works look quite real and unique. Having spent most of his life living in the beautiful Bay of Plenty (North Island, NZ) it seemed obvious to him to explore the local landscape and surroundings for early inspiration in his art. Young’s sculptures are hand drawn, hand cut and handcrafted, layer on layer to create the end product. “I work with 2D shapes and have to figure out how to translate that into a 3D finished product. For more information about Young's fascinating glass sculptures, you can go to his website Broken Liquid.
