In The Name Of Art ↓

Sand Sculptures: The Jackson 5

“Hey, what MJ tributes haven’t been done yet? Playing his music videos 24/7 on MTV offshoots we didn’t know existed, club DJs throwing in constant 9-song MJ blocks over the past month… nah, everything’s taken. OH WAIT – what about sand?” w/ photos

Obama Naked With Unicorns

“Painted by Dan Lacey, also known as The Painter of Pancakes shows his portrayal of the president of the United States in a series of unique paintings… Some of the weirder paintings you will ever see in your lifetime.” w/ photos

The Staple City

“Low-Rise is a precarious assemblage of thousands of free-standing stacks of staples densely tessellated to create a city-like mosaic. Like a city, the staples are subject to the elements, on a micro scale. The slightest breath or vibration and the domino effect kicks in.” w/ photos

The Invisible Artist

“Look carefully. A little closer. This is a portrait of a man trying to blend beautifully into the background. Whether lurking next to a telephone box or standing to attention at a cannon, Liu Bolin has made an art of becoming the invisible man. The Chinese artist is creating more than just startling images with his works. He claims they make a statement about his place in society. He sees himself as an outsider whose artistic efforts are not always valued, especially in his native country. Standing silently in front of his chosen scene, in locations all around the world, the 36-year-old uses himself as a blank canvas. Then, with a little help from an assistant, he paints his body to merge as seamlessly as possible with what is behind him. It means people walking by while he is carrying out his performances often have no idea he is nearby until he begins to move.” w/ photos

Human Zebra

“A man who took his love for animals one step too far.”

Garage Doors Turned Into Works Of Art

“At first glance, this looks like a very well-to-do neighbourhood. One in which Formula One racing cars, private jets, speedboats and the kind of equipment that any fledgling rock band would be proud of are left lying around in the garage. In fact, these utterly realistic images are printed on plastic sheets which are stuck on garage doors – the latest craze for home owners who want to not so much keep up with, as totally freak out, the Joneses. The weather and fire-resistant prints are designed to disguise that boring, flaky, greying metalwork. Held in place by industrial strength Velcro, they are easy to change and virtually indestructible.” w/ photos

Incredible Sloppy Artwork

“It takes a special kind of person to actively pursue a messy career, be they a port-o-potty cleaner or a technician on an oil rig. Messy artists, you know, ones who cherish a sloppy line here and a paint splotch there, their canvases falling apart at the weight of their paint, belong in those ranks. And while the simple beauty of a clean line is certainly something to be cherished, so are the messy splotches of these dirty artists.” w/ photos

Prehistoric Cave Paintings

“For thousands of years, these artworks have been credited as the genius of cave men. Scientists believed these artistic visions were dreamed up and executed by male hands. But after more than 25,000 years, the results of a recent study have indicated prehistoric female artists also helped to create the famous ‘Spotted Horses’ cave mural and various others. After re-analysing the hand stencils inside the Pech Marle and Gargas caves in France, Professor Dean Snow from Pennsylvania State University said that ‘even a superficial examination of published photos suggested to me that there were lots of female hands there’. Male hands are clearly larger in size, however smaller prints could have been made by adult females or younger males or females. Professor Snow used digit ratios to try and determine who made the smaller prints. ‘The very long ring finger… is a dead giveaway for male hands. A long index finger and a short pinky is very feminine,’ he told National Geographic.” w/ photos
