In Rainbows


The paintings that immediately catch my attention are the ones that are brimming with color. I first found Qiurui Du when I came across this SinoVision clip. The young artist from China uses vibrant hues and thick lines to portray ordinary people and everyday scenes that he grew up with. Some of his paintings combine pop culture with disturbing objects and terrifying creatures that look as if they belong in an animated horror movie. They're playful, chaotic, and absolutely beautiful.

Du graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Parsons School of Design. He is based in Beijing and New York, where he is pursuing his Masters in Painting and Drawing at the Pratt Institute.

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.

What if directors actually looked like the characters in their films?

One of the things I like about the internet is the fact that it provides an endless showcase for the most incredible corners of human creativity. Like, for example, these quirky wooden sculptures by Seattle-based artist Mike Leavitt . For his latest series, King Cuts , Mike transforms some of the most renowned filmmakers into satirical sculptures. They're on view at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York until June 11, consists of 16 new hand-carved sculptures of directors like Tim Burton, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino. The artist fused Burton with three of the filmmaker's works;  Batman , Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands , while Hitchcock is transformed into one of his own attacking birds. Watch the making of the Tarantino sculpture below. You can also follow Mike on  Instagram to see his work in progress.
