French artist makes the Louvre Pyramid disappear, sort of


Everyone loves a good optical illusion, and this vanishing act by JR is nothing short of impressive. The French multimedia artist has spent the past few weeks covering the Louvre Pyramid with black and white wallpapers that mirror the famous palace behind it. When viewed from a certain angle, the pyramid seems to disappear completely. The eye-tricking installation will remain in place until June 27.

    Les galeries d'art peuvent être exclusives ou ouvertes au public. Les galeries exclusives n'admettent que les personnes qui ont été invitées à la vitrine ou les personnes qui répondent aux exigences prédéfinies. Ces galeries peuvent avoir des objectifs tels que la présentation et la vente des œuvres d'un individu ou d'un groupe d'artistes. C'est dans ces galeries que les artistes en herbe peuvent être reconnus, car il y a plus de professionnels qui comprennent l'art. Les galeries d'art ouvertes au public peuvent également présenter de nombreux avantages. Pascal Robaglia & Pascal Robaglia Étant donné que le public de ces galeries est généralement plus nombreux, le travail de l'artiste peut acquérir une plus grande visibilité auprès du public, gagnant ainsi de la reconnaissance pour l'artiste. Un droit d'entrée s'applique parfois à ces galeries pour qu'elles fonctionnent.

Eric van Straaten's 3D-Printed Statuettes

I can't remember when I first became entranced with Eric van Straaten 's 3D-printed sculptures. I think I stumbled onto his work through tumblr when I was searching for new artists to follow. 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 Once the entire model is printed, it is withdrawn from the print bed and the excess powder is removed.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 ...

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.

Hand-Painted Movie Posters by Tony Stella

In the 70s and 80s movie theaters in Manila were usually standalone buildings with nice seats and red curtains. To sell tickets, cinemas needed to advertise their offerings. But they did not have the original posters, or the means to print alternatives. So they made their own, commissioning local artists to hand-paint them. I really miss those hand-painted posters and billboards, which conveyed an artistry that was a form of visual hyperbole. But hand-made objects always have a way of returning. In this digital age, people will always look for things made by hand. I recently stumbled across the work of Tony Stella, whose genuinely cool movie posters have caught the eye of film enthusiasts and art lovers worldwide. He likes to work in watercolor and ink wash but sometimes he will make an oil painting, depending on the film. Tony's very active on social media, and his Tumblr blog contains a massive collection of illustrated movie posters that are often better than the original. ...
