A pioneer of the studio glass movement, Chihuly is credited with transforming the methods of creating glass art, and leading the development of complex, multi-part glass sculptures and environmental art. His contributions extend well beyond the boundaries of the studio glass movement and even the field of glass, and his achievements have influenced contemporary art in general.
Collected here are 20 my favorite pieces from his wide range of works. Hope you enjoy.
Jeff Nishinaka is the world’s premier paper sculptor with a prolific career that spans 28 years. Using nothing more than white paper, glue and a sharp knife, he creates unbelievably intricate sculptures of everything from landmarks to wildlife. I put some my favorite work of him in this post. Look at these 3D-ish Sculptures. It is hard to believe they are actually 2D work with 3D effect achieved by layering and lighting.
Many artists have used pencils to create beautiful pieces of work – but only one creates stunning masterpieces on the tip of one. Microscopic artist Dalton Ghetti spends up to two-and-a half years painstakingly crafting each handmade piece on the graphite of a pencil.
Shawn Smith is responsible for these amazing pixelated sculptures made from square rods cut from plywood which are colored with ink. Smith blends the digital pixel based 2D world into our 3D environment.
