We’ve covered some of Kidult‘s work here before, some of which we dig (like the “Suepreme” tshirt), and some others that just seem like publicity stunts. Where the latest effort sits is hard to tell. The French street artist has just launched NoGalleryNoMaster, a site that will enable him to sell his art directly to the masses without the […]
You can plan on SSUR to have a sense of humor. Such as with their collaboration with CLOT — e.g. the COCO Made Me Do It collection — the Los Angeles label always takes a subversive bite out of iconic brands and characters, even if it is for commercial gain. Now SSUR have teamed up […]
Japanese artist Maso Kinoshita constructs highly detailed sculptures of mythological creatures and gods, except he goes one step further by envisioning them as if from those amazing Body Worlds exhibits — stripped skinless to expose the pure biology. The skinless gods are carved from stone, and include Ganesh (above), as well as a slew of […]
Japanese artist Hiroto Ohkubo of INSTINCTOY has given his own particular twist to the Bad Apple figure, lending it his trademark spray can drips also seen in GOIN’s original bad apple artwork. The result is a twisted take on Snow White, rendered with anarchist’s mask and quite tempting grenade substituted for her legendary apple. The […]
Another beautiful toy from the crew over at COARSE. In fact to call it a toy is probably doing a disservice to the highly exclusive piece; perhaps “sculpture” is a better term. The Hong Kong-based toymaker just keeps getting better and better, elevating their game from simple vinyl play things to pieces worthy of proper […]
This is one of those pieces of art that massages us right in the sweet spot of our frontal lobe, or wherever it is in our brain that appreciates art. Japanese artist/skateboarder Haroshi crafted this exquisitely accurate and humorously detailed skull out of re-purposed skateboard decks, even giving the handsome charmer a gold tooth and braces. […]
Eviscerating text and whitespace from antique books, Alexander Kortzer-Robinson creates entirely new narratives from only pre-existing charts, graphs, illustrations and other visual elements inside of each book. The result is a relatively 3-dimensional collage of relics that have lost their value over the passage of time. Much like Guy Laramee’s Landscapes Carved from Books, the tomes […]
If you have an infant, or even seen one in close proximity, then you can imagine where the inspiration struck for Ron English’s famous Tantrum Tot character. Having graced many a painting of the tenured street artist — and knowing his penchant to incorporate his family and personal life into his art — it’s clear […]
