PAPER SCULPTURE

The intricacy of
Brian Dettmer's paper sculpture is insanely beautiful and it has that very old-world feel to it.

To see the latest collection of Brian's paper sculpture, go to: Haydee Rovirosa Gallery.

AGELIO BATLE'S GRAPHITE SCUPLTURE

Not only are Agelio Batle's graphite scupltures beautiful, these realistic sculptures also write! And its price is quite reasonable as well.

To purchase them, visit Agelio's official webpage.

STILL LIFE BY MARTIN KLIMAS

Martin Klimas' series of still life photograph left me in awe. I love the fact that though the photo captures the breakage in a standstill; but the broken sculptures look as if it were to continue its movement in a blink of the eye.

Here is an article on Martin's work and working technique in The Morning News.

24 VIEWS OF ANUBIS

I always like the figure of Anubis, it's just a personal thing. But here I've found 24 mechanical view of it, quite interesting. A mechanical version of Anubis is display in the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre in Otaru, Japan. This theatre is actually a museum of Automata (mechanical sculpture) based in UK. Inside you will find a series of mechanical sculptures, mostly made with wood.. each piece will demostrate a mechanical display movements of human or animals, some could be quite violent.

Background info of Anubis: A man with the head of a jackal-like animal. As most should know that Anubis is the Greek name for ancient jackal-headed God of Dead in Egyptian mythology. Unlike real jackal, its head is black. Rarely shown fully-human, but he is depicted so in the Temple of Abydos of Rameses II.

R.MUTT 1917

Yeah, and speaking of 'art' vs 'found-objects'... here is a great sticker of Duchamp's "R.MUTT" signature on his famous work, Fountain.

Hmm, I am contemplating if I should attach this to my TOTO at home.

'Design' by Teruhiro Yanagihara.

BANKSY SHOP

Banksy, certainly one of our favorite artists, have a new 'shop' open. 'Paintings' that were previously hung in the Louvre, Tate, MOMA and Met are now available for download.
