'What counts most is finding new ways to get the world down in paint on my own terms.' Said Michelangelo.Medium
is not bar in art. We are already equipped with multiple art techniques
and art mediums. When I talk about art; it is not limited to only
watercolor painting or oil painting in terms of painting, only sketching
or drawing with pencil in terms of sketch or making sculpture using
stone or wood in terms of sculpture. It is more than that.Artists
use multiple methods, processes or means of expression to state their
points. What would...

For every decorating need, people can find quality art forms to fit. The
angle of art might come from a vintage period, or from fine art in the
form of a Ming vase or Renoir painting. The quality art forms might come
from a subject a person knows very well or one that has consumed a
person's curiosity for years. Since we all have varying tastes, one
person's masterpiece might be just ordinary to another.Finding
quality art is not a hard task for some however, but finding artwork
that is worth the price is difficult to surmise for some. And...

Hand-painting is an art that came into being very early in time, right
from the prehistoric age, when the only known mode of communication was
sketching. The initial crude form evolved through continuous tweaking
and fine-tuning, down the generations, to the day when the finest of
painters were born to marvel the world with their remarkable and
inimitable handiwork. The commoners, till today, and hopefully till a
distant future, will be able to appreciate the artistic brilliance and
splendor of hand paintings fully. Painting as a booming...

What starts as a scientific study takes on a life of its own, guided only by the imagination of artist Rogan Brown as he transforms a sheet of paper into a masterful sculpture with thousands of tiny incisions. Rogan takes his inspiration from natural organic forms, mineral and vegetal, ranging from microscopic individual cells to large-scale geological formations.
Each of these sculptures is incredibly time-consuming, with a single work sometimes taking more than five months to complete. Rogan starts with a pattern that catches his eye, carefully...

‘Turning the dark side into the art side,’ a group of renowned contemporary artists have provided their unique spin on iconic Star Wars imagery with custom-painted stormtrooper helmets. Damien Hirst, Mr. Brainwash, Andrew Ainsworth, Joana Vasconcelos and others participated in the Art Wars display at Saatchi Gallery.
Each artist was given a replica Stormtrooper helmet made from the original molds used for the first Star Wars movie in 1976, and asked to alter or decorate it however they saw fit. Banksy film subject Mr. Brainwash (‘The Borat of...

Some London residents have recently acquired an incredible ability to scale walls with ease. They climb the facade of a building, sit quietly on windowsills, and simply enjoy their ability to see the world from a different angle.
The illusion is made possible by a large-scale installation called Dalston House, created by Argentine artist Leandro Erlich. He painstakingly recreated a London house facade, complete with brickwork detail and ornate windowsills. The facade doesn’t stand up vertically, however. It lies flat on the ground.
A huge...

Spark plugs, kitchen strainers, springs and other random metal parts come together into a ‘steampunk flea’ that looks like it could jump away at any second in this mechanical insect sculpture by Dimitry Valchev. The Bulgarian artist uses scrap metal to create a series of sculptures mimicking mosquitoes and other insects as well as flowers, birds and the Loch Ness monster.
Valchev uses all sorts of metal components in ways you wouldn’t expect to create representations of various creatures. One bird has spoons as feathers, while the ‘flower of...

Artist Daniel Rozin creates installation pieces that watch you even more closely than you watch them. His Angles Mirror installation features a triangular base with hundreds of yellow pegs. As you approach the sculpture, it springs to life and the yellow pegs start to spin into new positions. After a moment it becomes apparent: the yellow pieces are mimicking your body’s position and movements. As you shift positions, the yellow pegs rearrange their own positions to echo yours.
Rozin calls this and his other similar interactive sculpture “mirrors.”...

After an intensive month-long residency in America’s biggest city with daily updates, street artist Banksy is leaving behind a strangely mixed legacy of his trip. Here are some of his last works from the stay, from a thrift store painting hacked and re-donated and an unpublished op-ed piece to a free t-shirt to anyone who wishes to download and print it.
‘The banality of the banality of evil’ is a second-hand shop art conversion purchased, adapted and given back to a local store on 23rd street. It features a World War II Nazi officer added...

Draped like the macabre souvenirs of a serial killer, ghostly skins of old buildings billow on clotheslines, bearing the grime of the surfaces from which they were cast. Amsterdam design studio KNOL Ontwerp preserves the memory of cobblestone streets, brick walls, fireplaces and doors by coating them in latex to create a tactile impression of their surfaces.
Installed at the Sandberg Institute of Amsterdam, ‘Skinned’ has these castings hanging like funeral shrouds from the gallery ceiling. The latex is fittingly translucent, almost immaterial,...

Banksy is an artist with the rare power to make walls more valuable after he has vandalized them, which some then seek to alter or destroy and others fight to protect and save. The highly-publicized and daily-updated images of his residency in New York largely tell the first part of the story, but there is another side to the tale as well about the aftermath, and that side has even more surprising and surreal plot twists.
Some graffiti artists feel compelled to cover over his art, out of anger, jealousy or perhaps a mixture of the two....

Instagram is both broadly adopted and heavily criticized for the faux-vintage filter options provided to users, providing opportunities for aptly-timed and well-executed spoofs like this project.
In his Real Life Instagram installation art series, Brazilian artist Bruno Ribeiro has begun framing everything from mundane graffiti on walls and ubiquitous CCTV cameras to famous London monuments. These he carefully surrounds with physical emulations of digital snapshot borders.
Hilariously enough, many people then stop to photograph...
