Brooklyn, NYC based artist Scott Albrecht created these wonderful paper collages from retro-style found paper. Albrecht writes on his website that he “utilizes classic techniques with (a) contemporary style.

Today I am admiring the work of collage artist Lance Letscher. In this series, Letscher uses Rube Goldberg, and his “deliberately over-engineered” machines as inspiration. Deconstructing images of bicycles, airplanes, ladders and more, the artist strings together these parts to form a maze of mechanical parts which appear to be teetering upon collapse.

Then he paints stripes . . . → Read More: Wooden sculptures by Willy Verginer

Composed of silicone, steel, carbon fiber and acrylic, the artist Zhang Huan modeled his work from an anonymous painting of Confucius from the Ming Dynasty entitled “Portrait of Confucius at Leisure.” The gigantic size of the sculpture evokes awe . . . → Read More: Giant sculpture of Confucius by Zhang Huan |
