Liu Wei fills Qatar gallery with sculptures made of dog chews


Chinese artist Liu Wei has often turned unconventional materials into remarkable pieces of art. One of my favorites is Love It! Bite It! – a fictional city that includes the "tastiest bits" of Western Civilization, including the Coliseum and the Guggenheim, made entirely of dog chews. 

His large-scale rawhide sculptures are currently on view in Doha as part of of an exhibition curated by artist Cai Guo-Qiang. The show, which runs through July 16, features 15 Chinese creatives and examines their contributions to the international canon of contemporary art. Here are some snaps from the exhibit via designboom:

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
