We’ve seen Space Invaders, Monsters, Tetris Blocks and other craziness you can sit your ass down on, but Brazilian designers Fernando and Humberto Campana have possibly one-upped them all with their limited edition Panda Banquete Chair. The Banquete Chair is made up of dozens of stuffed pandas all hand sewn together on a stainless steel frame to make […]

Nick Gentry, a Central Saint Martin’s graduate and apparent stranger to canvas stretching, prefers to paint portraits on a canvas constructed with floppy disks. He strategically incorporates these obsolete tech properties into his subjects’ features creating a file cabinet effect. Gentry places an emphasis on recycling and reusing personal objects, acquiring dead technologies through a […]

From Impressionism to Contemporary Art, Taschen’s new book Modern Art 1870-2000 – Impressionism to Today is an impressive collection that looks into the origin and extensive history of Modern Art.

Old portraits have become dull to many who aren’t art connoisseurs, but the portraitures that Kaphar builds into sculptures using traditional materials are appealing to any viewer. Artists that destroy […]

Instead of concentrating on the ‘Right Here-Right Now’ creative landscape, the art matrix get swallowed by Board votes, a pedestrian public and the antiquation of large institutions in general.
