Cancer cells, HIV and Ebola by Alexey Kashpersky

It's difficult not to get drawn in by Alexey Kashpersky's stunning digital illustrations of what look like otherworldly creatures. The Ukrainian artist creates mesmerizing pictures of cancer cells, neurons, blood clotting, and a myriad of viruses and bacteria to let viewers explore the world of medicine and microbiology. To accomplish these stark 3D images, he uses various computer graphics software applications such as Nuke, ZBrush, 3ds Max, V-Ray, Photoshop and After Effects.

Alexey, who I discovered through The Pipetteer, has a Master of Visual and Decorative and Applied Arts degree. He is the recipient of several awards in the field of 3D graphics, and his work has been published in numerous books and magazines. The Poltava native now lives in New Jersey where he works as a 3D artist at Radius Digital Science. He is a member of the Association of Medical Illustrators.

Eric's attention to detail is pretty amazing, and the image of the eroticized child-woman is familiar throughout his work. Most of his hyper surreal pieces are 3D-printed in sandstone material, which are created by laying down a thin layer of gypsum powder and using a binding agent and color inks to print a pattern onto it. Once the entire model is printed, it is withdrawn from the print bed and the excess powder is removed. The model is then sealed and ready for display. "I think that the girls I create in my work are visualizations of my own feelings, fantasies and thoughts," the Dutch artist explains. "The girls actually look like someone I (used to) know and the different ‘portraits’ tell something about what I think of myself in regards to her or women ...

This art installation aims to raise awareness on domestic violence

What you see here is an art installation featuring 440 pairs of high heels. The shoes were recently hanged by Turkish artist and graphic designer Vahit Tuna on a facade of a building in downtown Istanbul to highlight domestic abuse. Each pair represents one of the 440 women killed in Turkey last year by their partner or husband. How sad that is.
