Into The Water

 Spanish artist Sonia Alins Miguel uses a mixture of greaseproof paper, watercolour, ink, wool and trimmings to construct the 3D images in this recent work. Many subjects in this piece are tirelessly fighting for survival in an undefined and murky environment accompanied with faces of agony and fear. Shortlisted for The 2016 World Illustration Awards, one truly wonders if the viewer will ever understand the gravity of the situation.

The works of John Morris spring from exhaustive sketching and illustration, drawing on intensive research. Subjects include skeletal bone, muscular structure and the imagery of fashion photography.

Animal Sculptures Comprised of Densely Rolled Newspaper by Artist Chie Hitotsuyama

 Japanese paper artist Chie Hitotsuyama deftly creates textured sculptures of animals using a technique involving rolled strips of wet newspaper. The compact application of each newspaper segment proves to be an elegant method of forming the wild fur of snow monkeys or the density of scales found on the back of an iguana. For Hitotsuyama, these details are critical as she seeks to create the most lifelike sculptures possible.

 “More than anything else, I’m particular about the realistic feel of the animals,” she shares with Kokusai Pulp & Paper. “Animals that live in nature are equal to us in the sense that we live together on this planet. Sometimes they sleep. Sometimes they eat. They are living ordinary everyday lives just like us. I would like keep insisting on reality and producing my life-sized work as much as possible in order to convey their lives.”

Sem dúvida um belo edifício ( exterior..) que respira modernidade e que cria um diálogo interessante com o Tejo ..

Já o interior, demasiado vulgar e sendo este um "Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia " é impossível não falar de Arte e esta foi a minha desilusão .. esperemos por melhores dias.

Into the Water

 Voici le nom de la série d’illustrations et de collages de l’artiste espagnole Sonia Alins. Ces corps dessinés au crayon puis peints pour leur apporter de la couleur sont ensuite disposés sous un papier transparent. Ce filtre trouble reproduit alors l’effet optique de l’eau avec brio pour des scènes de baignade réussies.

Artist Chiharu Shiota is known for her intricate, immersive installations that are meditations on the human brain and memory.

Last year, she illustrated this idea by collecting 50,000 keys…
