Spencer Tunick loves to put on a show, preferably one with tons of naked bodies. Location (public) is essential, although he can no longer shoot in the USA. Because of the nature of his work which explores and expands the social, political and legal issues surrounding art in the public sphere, Tunick has been arrested five times while attempting to work outdoors in New York City. Soon after his fifth arrest in Times Square in 1999,” determined to create his work […]

Artistic library?

02/15/2012 by chicquero

Amerian artist Nick Georgiou´s work of art is inspired by the death of the printed word. Books and newspapers are becoming artifacts of the 21st century. As a society we’re shifting away from print consumption and heading straight towards full digital lives. According to Nick, her sculptures (love the textures and effects) are products of their environment —both literally and figuratively. As often as she can, she uses local newspapers to add authenticity, and the form the sculpture takes is a reflection of the […]

Human aquarium

Angelo Musco is a Graphic Design and Fine Art graduate from Naples, Italy now based in New York. His work just can’t be absorbed in a glance. The contemporary photographer/artist’s pieces are composed of thousands of human figures (nude bodies) intricately and densely packed on panels as large as 8 x 20 feet, forming shapes that look almost like outer space bone MRI scans. Also Angelo has other very cool visual projects already under his belt and over a decade of exhibiting… ” The essential is to excite […]

Hypersonic soundsuits

01/31/2012 by chicquero

Nick Cave‘s amazing creations are part Alexander McQueen, part Andy Warhol and wholly irreverent and beautiful. He combines elements of sound, performance, color and costume to create works that even the darkest soul would find hard to resist and quite interesting. With over 50 suits displayed (surreal textiles that he wears while modern dancing), it does feels like another world. Cave uses found materials to create the suits and they range from the natural (twigs or birds) to the highly ornamental […]

As minimal as it is

Sky Series Eric Cahan is a NYC based photographer inspired by the sky’s color palette from sunrise to sunset! Speaking of color, I was truly amazed by the way he understands the different nuances of color, light and the way he photographs. As a devotee of contemporary art, Cahan’s influences include Mark Rothko, James Turrell, and the Light and SpaceMovement , a brand of minimalism that originated in Southern California in the 60s focused on perceptual phenomena such as light, […]

3D Daniel Arsham is a New York/ Miami based artist in the world of architecture. Although his major is in art, most of his friends are architects, his pieces show his passion for form and structure and he puts his own spin on things, making architecture moves in ways it normally shouldn’t. Mr. Arsham uses plaster gauze, foam, rubber and paint to create such cool 3D works that wrinkle, bend, erode, and even wrap themselves over other objects. Very clever […]

Taking inspiration from the sights and sounds of “the city” as well as the energy and diverse arts, Dane has formed a unique and heartfelt body of work that is sooo beautiful and personal.

Duas vezes ao ano, o traçado do Sol no céu de Nova York se alinha com as ruas que cortam a ilha de Manhattan no sentido Leste – Oeste. Os novaiorquinos apelidam o fenômeno de Manhattanhenge, em analogia à Stonhenge e seus solstícios. Imagina que delícia, estar abarrotado de compras até o pescoço, observando este acontecimento mágico. Taxi.. Taxi.. Taxi.. please! OinC OinC
