Complex Loop Sculpture That Combines The Past And The Future

Artist Chris Fox is the artist who has created “Interloop” a monumental sculpture that is hanging from Sydney Wynyard Station ceiling, a modern twist played on an ancient escalator.

The wooden escalator had been in use for eight decades now and just when it was time for it to retire, Fox has given it a new life in the form of Interloop. The sculpture loops together two pairs of reconfigured escalators that are more than 50 metres long where the artist has incorporated 244 wooden treads and four combs from the station’s original wooden escalators. Being from Sydney himself, Chris Fox, through his this piece, has found a way to connect the journeys made in the past to the ones that needs to be made in this historic station. Fox also explains that Interloop is intended to permanently reflect the motion of the escalators and to communicate to the that passengers that they should remain stationary while riding them.

His installation stands as a proud tribute and you catch glimpses of it here.

Exotic Origami Cranes by Cristian Marianciuc

Cristian Marianciuc transforms mere pieces of paper into extraordinary sculptures and in his 1000 days of challenge, he flaunts his craftsmanship by composing paper cranes.

And they are vibrant in color and diverse in their beauty, each creation complete with its own characteristics. The artist draws parallel to the delicacy of the cranes with the use of the delicate paper, using the perfect material for his artworks. While origami is an ancient Japanese art form, this paper craft enthusiast puts forward his own contemporary twist.

Marianciuc showed his dedication, passion, and enthusiasm for this 1000 day challenge where each day he pushes his origami skills a bit further, incorporating complex folds and intricate details in his dainty cranes. But this is not the first time he has done it. Followers of his work know that this paper artist has engaged in a daily display of his skills previously; we have seen him conjure something new and exciting for his 365 day a challenge. His decorative origami works are all inspired by his everyday encounters where often the cranes are adorned with feathers, leaves, beads and many other elements.

Imperfectly Perfect Vases Made of Glass and Wood

Scott Slagerman and Jim Fishman came together to create a series of contemporary artistic vases that shows the symbiotic relationship between two materials, wood and glass that have opposing nature.

Delicate, fragile and colorful, the molten glass is hand blown in Scott Slagerman’s studio nestled in LA to fit snugly into the hollow of the wooden vessel. And for these bespoke sculptures, the dainty glass are not geometric or edgy; they are instead seen to be taken up fluidity and the eccentric shape of the wooden blocks, an unconventional tribute to imperfectly perfect beauty hidden in these inanimate objects.

The result is a stunning series of sculptures that look as if the wood and the glass pieces have been interwoven together naturally. The glass vases feel like the missing puzzle pieces that find their way to make their wooden enclosures complete.

You can explore more from the Glass & Wood series by the duo on Slagerman’s website.

Doors At The End of The Street: A Photography Series by Zacharie Gaudrillot-Roy

French artist Zacharie Gaudrillot-Roy has been busy composing pieces for his photography series called Facades where he explores a world of opportunities just a door away, literally.

Front doors are the first things we come across when we visit a house; they are some kind of portals that lead us into other people’s worlds. And Gaudrillot-Roy has tried to tap into this very concept for his series.

He first shoots the images of building exteriors and then isolates them, placing them in lonely streets that are illuminated with lamps. It is perhaps the unconventional manner in which the artist approaches the subject that intrigues us; we are used to seeing doors attached to entire structures of small homes, boutiques and stately mansions but not separated from them. This in fact also peaks our curiosity; we wonder where the facade of the door and the wall portrayed might have belonged to, what secrets does it hold, questions whose answers lie with Gaudrillot-Roy himself.

Surrealistic Journey That Explores Budapest Buildings

Zsolt Hlinka stitches mirror images of architectural structures digitally to form striking photos that depict the beauty of symmetry.

The artist from Budapest is an illusionist; his seamless juxtaposition will make you feel as if he has captured the intersecting buildings of his city against monochromatic backgrounds, being present with his camera at the right moment in the right time. And the result is a breathtaking series, aptly titled as Corner Symmetry. It highlights a compelling tale where lines, colors, angles and corners all come into play in one synergic composition.

While many of his fans might actually stroll on the streets to look for the buildings, Hlinka prevents them of the heartbreak by admitting that though these are real architectural forms, they are stripped off from their their usual environments; the images have then been split in half and mirrored in the center of these surreal compositions. The artist feels that he adds on to the dynamic and lively aspect of these digital collages, meticulously crafted by Hlinka.

So come explore the fun and whimsical digital artwork, seen through a fisheye lens, here.

Tokyo’s Vibrant & Raw Nightlife Caught On Camera by Yoshito Hasaka gives

Photographer Yoshito Hasaka gives us a glimpse of Tokyo’s nightlife, full of color and vigor.

He plays around with his lens, adjusting his camera’s sharpness and contrast to depict Japan’s capital and its nightlife. Neon signs, night sky dominated with skyscrapers, narrow alleys, busy streets filled with people, Hasaka’s photographs manage to capture them all. However, there is a surreal quality to his photographs that make this cliched image of Tokyo not so cliched at all. He makes his viewers feel the energy of the Tokyo scene, incorporating effervescence in all of his pieces as if it is palpable. And nothing in Hasa’s photos scream minimalistic; they are loud, flashy, clustered and over the top. Just like the city of Tokyo itself.

Yoshito Hasaka is not only a Japanese designer but also an engineer based in Tokyo. Now he is designing everything in a startup company called Origami when he is not outside exploring the world through his lens.
