The Beautiful and Eerie Sculptures of Lucy Glendinning

When I first discovered Lucy Glendinning's work through Beautiful Decay a few years ago, I felt like I was looking at something not supposed to be seen. Her creations are intriguingly eerie, faintly disturbing, and fiercely stunning.

The British artist from Somerset blends the human figure, poetry, and philosophical questions to produce intricate sculptures that are simultaneously creepy and engrossing to look at. Browsing her website is like venturing into a mix of the familiar and unknown. Some look like scientific specimens, others seem like characters from a horror movie, and others are visualizations of serenity.

Lucy studied sculpture at the University of the West of England, Bristol. After college, she apprenticed for Elisabeth Frink, where she learned how to make molds and castings with wax which influenced her work to this day.

What the hell was she thinking when she did these?

I'm the type of person who likes to have an answer for everything. Why is Colnago so expensive? Why does my dog hate my neighbor? Why do I love the work of Dame Matibag ? The truth is, I can't intellectualize it. Sometimes, a piece of abstract art just hits, and you don't need a complicated explanation for it. It's not a puzzle to be solved with a pretentious essay or a mystery to be deciphered by experts with Ph.D. in art history. All you need to appreciate it is your intuition. Dame is a self-taught visual artist who started painting as a hobby and form of expression. Though she holds a business degree, painting remains her true passion. She uses her art to convey positivity, growth, and balance. Each piece reflects her personal journey, with the lines and textures illustrating resilience and beauty. Looking at a Dame's paintings silence my mind. I don't feel the need to analyze or search for a hidden message; there is just a deep, quiet sense of understanding...

Painting for the People

MrKas likes to deconstruct an image and turn it into something unique. He’s into puzzle patterns right now and this is one of his most recent murals. He draws inspiration from people – their emotions, their lives, their stories. The Portuguese artist creates striking, thought-provoking art through a photorealistic technique that balances precision and creativity. He likes to paint on the street because it gives him a sense of freedom. No velvet ropes, no entrance fee. He’s painting for the chatty bus driver, the charismatic old guy and his cat, and the exhausted single mom who just needs a few seconds of “wow” in her day. MrKas’ work can be seen on many murals and he has been part of several international exhibitions all around the globe.

Just Do It... With Bricks

Cross-brand collaborations are very much a thing and, just recently, two of the most iconic names in merchandise have teamed up to create a really cool playground in China. This effort is more than just putting two logos on a swing set; it's about designing a space that actively promotes physical agility while also sparking imaginative thinking. It's like if your P.E. teacher and your babysitter from when you were seven suddenly started a band. It's unexpected, but you know it's going to be awesome. The 2×3 LEGO brick is the direct inspiration for this colorful space, which aims to give kids the freedom to design and navigate their own climbing and play routes. Frankly, I'm a bit jealous. When I was kid, a "modular playground" meant a tire swing that barely moved and a slide that guaranteed a static shock.
