“My mission is to explore the emotional symbolism of something like a broken egg in a nest,” she writes poetically on her website. “This for me represents the tension between birth and death, the purity of simple form in contrast with nature’s complex structures and designs. The fragility of the shell which can beak and shatter versus its strength to encompass life and growth. For me, this echoes our own psyche and emotional being; vulnerable – strong, fragile – enduring, brittle – tenacious.”

A common thread throughout her work is her interest in the dynamics between diametrical opposing energy, structures fabrics, and feelings. Shearing admits that she is particularly fascinated by the movement of the ocean waves expressing the rhythm of life and the force and strength of nature. Indeed, most of her work seems fluid – an exploration of water and movement. “I am interested in exploring the fluidity of water against the firm resistance of hard rock,” she explains.

Much like water, Shearing’s creative process is fluid, working slowly and thoroughly, and mixing minute amounts of paint to get the tone and intensity of colors she wants exactly. “I work very carefully, thoughtfully considering composition and juxtaposition of tones and colors,” she writes. “I spend time choosing my palette very carefully as this is the platform from which I build the timbre and mood of the piece.”

The result is very much striking.

“Scrap Art” is a company that turns scrap metal into beautiful sculptures that will take your breath away.

“Since 1988 we have been working in the recycling industry. We resolutely believe our efforts will result in an eco-friendly approach and cleaner environment, at the same time bringing to life unique works of art,” the company wrote on their website.

So far they’ve made a giant globe, bridge, fountain, wine decanter and a smart bench that will provide anyone with light, a WiFi connection, and USB outputs.

“Our vision is to make people happy when they first lay eyes on our art compositions. We want everyone to remember that our environment is one of the most important things in our life.”

We will argue that the best kind of art is the one that’s beautiful and useful at the same time.

Eriksson is a Swedish food artist and motion designer who creates these incredibly detailed gingerbread figures year after year. This year, she worked on Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy, while last year she made the impressive Xenomorph from Alien. 

“I have been making gingerbread houses every year with my family since I was little,” the artist shared with Bored Panda. “After a few years, I got tired of houses and wanted to build other things, like boats, castles, and towers. My family didn’t have that patience but looked forward to seeing new creations every year.”

Her installations include colossal sculptures of animals and humans. These sculptures aim to stimulate the viewers’ imaginations while offering scope for reflection about our state with the natural world. Inspired by the dramatic Tasmanian landscape, Parer’s artwork explores the natural world, it’s fragility and the role of humanity within it.

“I use feral animals in my work as a metaphor for man’s mismanagement and overuse of the environment,” she explained in an interview with Kaltblut Magazine. “I am interested in how easily we anthropomorphize to tell our stories without fully acknowledging that we are animals too.”

When the audience visits one of these ephemeral art installations they are enticed by the play of scale, light, dark, drama, and humor. “I live in an island state in the south of Australia called Tasmania,” says Parer, explaining that “it is a land of great dramatic beauty with moody skies and landscapes and holding narrative qualities that I like to thread in my work. Light coming through the darkness depicts a sense of hope or spirituality.”

Her art installations have been on continual display since Parer first moved to this art form in 2014 and has so far been exhibited in 100 cities around the globe, as they continue to capture public and media attention where ever they go. But you can also follow her work online. Take a look:

In his website, Peralta talks about the inspiration behind his unique sculpting method. “In 2005, while living in Hong Kong, I came across an exploded diagram of a bicycle on the back of a magazine,” he recalls. “I was inspired by its fragile beauty, and imagined a three-dimensional version with a real object.”

Using only a ruler and simple tools, which he still uses today, he went on to develop techniques for suspension which expose the inner workings of these humble mechanical objects. “The subjects I choose for the Mechanations series are icons of utility and invention,” he explains. “I also like to think they hold memories that we’ve long forgotten. They’ve watched generations pass; recorded every scene, love letter, and document. Each image, word, and note is permanently imprinted on them.”

Having received no formal training in the arts, it wasn’t until his thirties that Peralta found his creative voice. Amongst his interests, he mentions visual and textural contrasts, motion, mechanics, space, time, and the use of bold colors. His influences include cubist artists like Metzinger and Picasso, and the surrealist, Storm Thorgerson.

Take a look at some of his stunning pieces:

The video is four and a half minutes long and it shows the making of Lee’s head with all the details. We are stunned by the level of perfection shown here and sheer talent the artists possess. Although with obviously took him a lot more time to actually make this culture, seeing the whole process in only four minutes leaves us in awe.

Stan Lee was an extremely popular comic book writer, editor, and publisher who worked as an executive vice president of Marvel comics. He co-created the Hulk, Spiderman, Doctor Strange, Iron Man, and many other legendary superheroes. He passed away in 2018 and the many artists have been paying homage to this incredible man ever since. You can see Richter’s video below.

“I love the sense of movement and the ability to convey emotion,” the sculptor shared with Bored Panda. “At first I just concentrated on the head with sculptures like Search for Enlightenment and Leaf Spirit. Then I moved onto the full human form and used ballet as my inspiration.”

In a piece called Athena, Gudgeon collaborated with Ksenia Ovsyanick, the principal ballerina with the Staatsbalet, Berlin. The artist was inspired by the Dying Swan.

“I was mesmerized by the elegance and grace and then I saw the pose I wanted to use,” he added.

Appearing as if they might have jumped off your computer screen’s loading page or sprung from a phone as the batteries power off, Hsu-Tang crafts intricate pieces out of wood and then chips out numerous cubes to give his artwork a truly one of a kind pixelated appearance. 

His pieces tend to focus on the human body, with a series of sculptures in the shape of oversized ears, hands, torsos, and skulls. In addition, he has designed sculptures in the form of majestic horses and swans. 

Hsu-Tung begins his process by sketching and then transfers each sketch into a clay model. Next, the artist chooses the type of wood he sees fit for each individual piece. He has sculpted pieces out of walnut, teak, and African wax wood. The pixelation process is completed when Hsu-Tung delicately adds or removes a number of block shapes to the sculpture, finalizing the modern touches on his digitally inspired art.
