Enjoy and be impressed! Roberto Bernardi Steve Mills Erich Christensen wallpaper The wallpaper of this week is a photo I took in Hong Kong of one of the Space Invaders artwork. The exhibition was titled WIPE OUT and there were several amazing pieces from this legendary French artist. Invader is internationally known for his pixelated mosaic “space invaders” which he has placed in over 60 cities around the world for almost 20 years. In January 2014, the artist launched the third wave of his “invasion” in Hong Kong 13 years after he first hit the city.The works showed a significant evolution, displaying characters from local culture and classic cartoons, but still in the artist’s immediately recognisable pixel aesthetic. I define myself as an ULA, an unidentified living artist. I chose Invader as my pseudonym and I always appear behind a mask.
Luke Syson: How I learned to stop worrying and love "useless" art Two years ago, I have to say there was no problem.Two years ago, I knew exactly what an icon looked like.It looks like this.Everybody's icon, but also the default positionof a curator of Italian Renaissance paintings, which I was then.And in a way, this is also another default selection.Leonardo da Vinci's exquisitely soulful imageof the "Lady with an Ermine." At about that time, I started talking to Tom Campbell, So, there I was -- in a sort of paroxysm of horror.But I took the job and I went on looking at these vases.I sort of had to because they're on a through route in the Met.So, almost anywhere I went, there they were.They had this kind of odd sort of fascination,like a car accident.Where I couldn't stop looking.And as I did so, I started thinking:Well, what are we actually looking at here?

In 19 years, became interested in hyperrealistic, and still continues to work in this genre. you can look on her awesome hyper-realism work. Happy viewing :) (24 Pictures) Via Sagaki Keita (click images for detail) Artist Sagaki Keita was born in 1984 and lives and works in Tokyo. His densely composited pen and ink illustrations contain thousands of whimsical characters that are drawn almost completely improvised. I am dumbstruck looking at these and love the wacky juxtaposition of fine art and notebook doodles.

Do It Yourself Doodler So I am many things in this world, but an artist is not one of them. However, David Jablow is just that, and an impressive one no less. His Flickr stream is hands down one of the most impressive I’ve ever seen. He’s taken a 1950′s style Peggy Sue magazine model and put different worlds around her using a single template. The creativity and artistic detail are spectacular. Art that messes with your head (Look for seven horses in the picture) A Face? Or the word 'Liar'? Black Splotches? Or the word 'Lift'?
