Tim Knowles - Tree Drawings (2006)

Artist’s statement:

“A series of drawings produced using drawing implements attached to the tips of tree branches, the wind’s effects on the tree recorded on paper. 

Like signatures each drawing reveals the different qualities and characteristics of each tree.”

HANGARBICOCCA BY THOMAS SARACENO

Argentinian artist Tomas Saraceno (born 1973) - installation view at HangarBicocca, Milan. (previously)

For On Space Time Foam, his new installation at the HangarBicocca, Saraceno conceived a large transparent membrane (which he amusingly calls la lasagna) that visitors can get into. Folded in three layers, it is suspended at 25-metres above the ground, providing a radical bodily experience. (An interview from Milan by Filipa Ramos)

Lives of Grass by Mathilde Roussel

Roussel on her work:

Lives of Grass sculptures show the effects of transformation of the material as a metaphor of the transformation of the body. Time sculpts the forms, makes them change and then decay. The natural world, ingested as food becomes a component of human being. These sculptures strive to show that food, it’s origin, it’s transport, has an impact on us beyond it’s taste. The power inside it affects every organ of our body. Observing nature and being aware of what and how we eat might make us more sensitive to food cycles in the world - of abundance, of famine - and allows us to be physically, intellectually and spiritually connected to a global reality.

Great photos right? Wrong! They are drawings! The hyperrealistic drawings that look so good you could mistake them for photographs

The first time you see Dirk Dzimirsky’s hyperrealistic drawings, you’re convinced they’re black and white photographs.

But on closer inspection, you realise they are just the work of a very talented artist and his pens and pencils.

Using photos just for inspiration, he sets up basic proportions and then draws layer upon layer until he creates his incredibly realistic portraits.

‘Personally, I view the practice of drawing as reminiscent of scratching on a surface to observe what’s hidden underneath, where as the nature of painting projects more the inverse, covering and hiding details and forms that might have contributed to a sensuality of a work.

The artist, whose work has been displayed in galleries across London, Germany and America, says despit ehis hyperrealistic results, he does not want to simply copy a photograph.

‘I use photos as references for my drawings but I am not after a perfect reproduction at all. I use a photo very loosely once the proportions are established.

‘I usually work as if I were drawing from a live model actually.’

adoptpets: This guy is amazing! Everyone should know his name because with these drawing he has just proven he is a master. Then there’s me, who can’t even draw a straight line with a ruler.
