Laurent Minguet's Cityscapes on Wood

When you think about somewhere that is peaceful and quiet, what do you imagine? Whether it's a quaint countryside, a remote tropical island, or a magnificent Japanese garden, tranquillity is mainly found in natural outdoor environments. Cityscapes, however, can also serve as subject equally as engrossing as their nature-made counterparts. That's how I feel every time I look at Laurent Minguet's work. I find peace in his beautiful urban landscapes.

Wood_City is a collection of monochromatic cityscapes painted on untreated cherry wood, walnut and oak panels. Each of Laurent's pieces exhibits his obvious appetite for visual arts and his undeniable love of the urban jungle. There's a lot to see in his paintings, so make sure you visit his website and Instagram to fully enjoy the scope and detail of it all.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

These grotesque porcelain sculptures might give you nightmares

Art doesn't just have to be colorful flowers, sunsets and unicorns – there is artistry in the grotesque as well. Jason Briggs , a Tennessee-based nightmare creator, makes surreal and fucked-up ceramic sculptures of the human body that exist on the boundary between horror and beauty.

Japanese artist En Iwamura creates adorable ceramic sculptures

Kyoto-born artist En Iwamura is showing his latest ceramic creations in a special show on August 31 at the Ross+Kramer Gallery in East Hampton, New York. En's sculpted objects, which he describes as three-dimensional clay doodling, exudes nothing but good vibes with their quirky, playful style. He consciously uses childhood influences such as manga and anime, and draws inspiration from both American and Japanese historical and pop-cultural references along with his own life experiences. Born in 1988, En completed both his BFA and MFA in craft from Kanazawa College of Art and Craft in 2011 and 2013, respectively. His works have been shown in New York City, Seattle, Kansas City, Durham, NC, Japan, Canada, China and more. Thanks for the tip, Rachel.
