I am driven, very much into fashion [...]
IAN BURNS
Burns’ works are concerned not only with the images themselves, but also make a playful show of how the images have been rendered. Inspired by the neon signs of Las Vegas’ famous strip, Burns created the sculpture series What Might Be, and his follow-up sculpture “In Increments.” To spell out words using glare and reflections, Burns [...]
JUAN FRANCISCO CASAS
Believe it or not, and as much as I hate to say so, this is a ballpoint pen drawing and NOT a photograph. Yes, there there… there’s a gun in the corner drawer. Or you can quit art altogether tomorrow. Or be an abstract artist. Right. Juan Frrancisco Casas indeed is the BIC god. Check [...]

THE ART OF JAMIE SALMON

DECAYING FINE ART BY VALERIE HEGARTY
We say decaying fine art, but the work of Valerie Hegarty is just so much more.

Using digital manipulation, Persani then created the illusion [...]
ROBIN ELEY
No, you’re not looking at a photograph of a woman donning a large piece of saran wrap like a cape. What you see is, in fact, a hyperrealistic painting of a woman with an equally realistic sheer sheet of plastic, creasing and clinging to her body. London-born, Australia-based artist Robin Eley is the painter behind [...]
EPHEMICROPOLIS :: PETER ROOT
Artist Peter Root enjoys what others might define as a tedious process of constructing cities and landscapes on very tiny scales.

In this project entitled Ephemicropolis, Root took simple staples and transformed [...]

WARPED ARCHITECTURE BY VICTOR HENRICH
The Barcelona born artist has taken images of sky scrapers from the world’s cities and digitally reworked them with 3D rendering techniques. In doing so he creates buildings that pour out onto the street, bend horizontal, extrude their features in wild directions and even expand into trumpet like forms. The impossible buildings look like the [...]
