Ceramics and Sculpture by Ian McDonald
It's not the first time I've come across Ian McDonald's works, he's always getting involved in interesting exhibitions, one last year titled "One Eight Hundred" was so close to our own name that it's been stuck in my head for a long time now. So today when I revisited his website it was a nice surpr
Collection of work from Origami Artist Robert J Lang
Not too many people can say they've taken over the Google homepage for a day, so American origami artist Robert J Lang is in a bit of a league of his own in that respect given his exposure on the search engine giant back on March 14th earlier this year. He also happens to be one of the most respecte
Collection of work from Derek Weidman
In recent months I've become really fascinated by the art of wood turning and the beautiful forms that you can create. In fact I would have featured more work here from this medium but for one frustrating problem, the most accomplished turners that I've come across have been homing their craft for t
Short Film on Sculptor James Doran-Webb
At the risk of overloading you all with projects centred around wooden construction I unearthed this short film on British sculptor James Doran-Webb earlier this morning that completely blew me away. The artist who bases himself in the archipelago region of the Philippines transforms discarded inani
Collection of Works from Sculptor Hirotoshi Ito
The combination of a sublime skill set and a playful imagination is one that has won so many of us previously by the likes of Dali, Warhol and in more recent times Damien Hirst. The art of surrealism reminds us all that the impossible is plausible which is why this playful set of sculptures from Jap
Sculptures by Erik Thommesen
It seems like I've been unleashed into a furniture frenzy lately so when I came across these sculptures by the great artist that is Erik Thommesen I had to fit them into the schedule somewhere. Although I'm not technically an "art" sort of guy I do get drawn in to different forms mixed with a variet
Isamu Noguchi, A Man at Work
After a long week it’s great to finish on such an icon as Isamu Noguchi. He really is an amazing talent and I was lucky enough to talk to The Noguchi Museum who gave me access to some imagery of Noguchi at work. This felt like an interesting and inspiring subject to talk about since Isamu is a man
Peter Shire: Cups 1974 – 2012 by Eric Minh Swenson
The good folks at South Willard put me onto this fantastic video based on Los Angeles based artist Peter Shire. Funnily enough last week I was actually browsing Peter’s website and it struck me how playful and comedic his work is, it’s great to know that he doesn’t take life too seriously and
People Watching, Jesse Schlesinger by Leslie Williamson
Many of you may know that we released a nice in-depth interview with photographer Leslie Williamson over the weekend, I was really honoured to have the chance to speak to Leslie, I’m a big admirer of her work and she’s a great person as well (added bonus!). So this morning when I woke up and hea
Golden Arber Sculpture by Harry Bertoia at the 510 Fifth Ave Building
This morning I was diligently researching Harry Bertoia, mainly reading more into his life story and his works. I read on the Harry Bertoia blog that his daughter Celia, who also runs the Harry Bertoia website, had recently set up a Facebook page to house information on up and coming events involvin
Mobiles, Stabiles and Sculptures by Alexander Calder
In my article on CY Twombly a few weeks back I promised that I’d explore the works of Alexander Calder sometime in the near future. That day is today, I’m going to shed some thoughts on the individual, why he inspired me and also use this post to present some wonderful works that he’s created
Short Film on Sculptor Lance Dooley
Late last night I really enjoyed watching this filmed piece which introduces American artist and sculptor Lance Dooley, so I promised myself that come the morning I would return to it and share this with everyone here. The artist himself is somewhat of a traveller and you can tell this has had a mas
