Anish Kapoor

In the early 1980s, Kapoor emerged as one of a number of British sculptors working in a new style and gaining some international recognition with their work. Kapoor's pieces are often simple, curved forms, usually monochrome, and frequently brightly coloured. Powdered pigments sometimes cover the works and sometimes lie on the floor around the works as well. This practice is inspired by the mounds of brightly coloured pigments Kapoor saw on his visits to India.
i think this artist made up a new kind of abstract style just my opinion.

Aaron Hauck

Its Polar time


Aaron Hauck, he's a professor at East Central University and has become a friend that I respect very much. I respect his work and he has made me humble is the way I act and my work which I needed before I move on in my art career.

Seeing Aaron work on his sculpture and digital imaging shows similar characteristics not in our work, but they way we look at things i believe. We both want things to come out exactly how we want them to almost to a perfect state and aren't satisfied with that sometimes which is another reason I respect you so much Mr. Hauck.

weird

Australian Emily Valentine Bullock sculpts, primarily using feathers, which she collects from birds killed by cars and cats, and from people's dead pets. More recently, she bought a trapping and killing machine to collect feathers from Australia's registered pest, the Indian Mynah. She plans to venture to Ada, Oklahoma, US to reap the bounty of feathered friends in the university's industrial design outdoor studio. From these oddly sourced materials, she creates very odd, but rather beautiful sculptures. Most of these are strange hybrid creatures—dogs with wings and bird-headed dolls. She also makes beaded and feathered brooches and bangles which can be purchased directly from her studio.

What I love most about Bullock's works is the way she juxtaposes the morbid with the appealing. Her hybrids are like taxidermied critters from a fantasy land, offsetting any ghoulishness with her use of color and the fact that the sculptures are just so damn cute.

Epic Win - assemblage

Old car parts = awesomeness

When cars die, they don't go to some magical car heaven (except for hybrids, maybe). But the best, luckiest ones just might become Transformer replicas. Standing at 87 inches tall and weighing a respectable 485 pounds, this Optimus Prime statue is a probably the most compelling argument for recycling we've ever seen. And its leg detail is as incredible as the torso:

At $4,838.71 (plus shipping, of course), we'd say that this hand-crafted Transformer has adownright reasonable price. But that's not going to help one bit as we pitch the spouse on another car...that can't actually run.

Andy Goldsworthy

Goldsworthy,is a British artist who collaborates with nature to make his creations.He regards all his creations as transient, or ephemeral.He photographs each piece once right after he makes it. His goal is to understand nature by directly participating in nature as intimately as he can. He generally works with whatever comes to hand ;leaves twigs stones, snow and ice,reeds and thorns.

Happy Holidays everyone! Festive times ahead call for fun art. So, that being said, here are some cheetos sculptures!

Note the epic grandeur of the subtle cheeto. See how it can be shaped and molded to anything the imagination can fathom!

Surely none can argue with the malleable majesty that each crunchy morsel contains!

What a wonderful world we live in that the noblest of snack foods can finally be given its artistic due!

Why, even the heavens have begun to celebrate this versatile little snack!

Lets all celebrate the cheesiest of poofs this holiday season!

Alberto Giacometti

Although he trained in Geneva, Alberto Giacometti settled and worked mostly in Paris. He began working in sculpture with Antoine Bourdelle, but embraced Surrealism in 1930 on meeting Andre Breton. He also was interested in the intellectual aspects of Existentialism and studied in their circle with leader Jean-Paul Sartre. In 1935, Giacometti was forced out of the Surrealist movement and began to develop his own style of unusual, ghostly figure paintings. His sculpture contained the same abstract elements, most notably his bronze statue, Thin Man.

His sculptures to me are a form of simple abstract but that is just my opinion.

Tony Smith

Once in a rare while you come across a public sculpture that so transforms the space its in that it takes your breath away, and you return again and again to see if surprise and delight vanish with familiarity. Tony Smith was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. A sculptor, painter and architect who apprenticed with Frank Lloyd Wright, he reached international fame in the sixties and seventies as a sculptor

Tony Smith mixed art and math; for him, it was the most natural thing in the world. He spent hours by himself, making buildings and miniature cities from small medicine boxes. He put the boxes—cubes and other polyhedra—together in different ways for his creations.

i like the way he put math and art together and created an abstract sculptures.
