Amazing Stop-Paint Animation

Friday, July 9th, 2010

BIG BANG BIG BOOM – the new wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.

So surfing around I stumbled onto this amazing artist. He goes by Blu, and makes these amazing stop action movies. I can only image that this must take forever to make. The concept is very unique and interesting, sort of an evolution of everything starting with the big bang and going through the destruction of the world, and the execution delightfully playful. Blu does a really wonderful job playing with size, proportion and a mixture of two the three dimensional media to create this very entertaining work of art. Have a look and see what I am talking about. Blu also have several other works as well and a quirky website, which though a bit chaotic and a touch annoying at times features several of his other works (seen here). Definitely worth checking out!

Artist Spotted!

Friday, June 4th, 2010

While traveling through Jerusalem, at the new Mamilla mall outside of the old city I saw these most remarkably alluring paintings. A playful surrealist rendition of metaphorical and faintly familiar images makes these painting fascinating to look at and I always find a sight smile brought to my lips. Painted by Israeli artist Orna Ben-Shoshan, the works have a wonderfully youthful energy and unique character. Learn more about her, view and by her work at her website http://www.ben-shoshan.com/. Sure the site is not anything spectacular, but her work is definitely worth the time. Enjoy!
