The post Hossein Behzadi Creates Amazing Relief Art Featuring Angels appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Relief art is a method of sculpting that sees the artist create pieces that are attached to a solid background, which usually consists of the same material. This gives sculptures a special effect in which they appear to emerge from the background they are attached to.
Behzadi usually creates his relief art on walls. Showcasing his creative process on social media, Behzadi can be seen applying plaster to the wall and creating a basic outline of an angel with spread wings and flowing hair. Then, he proceeds to carve out the final details before sanding the sculpture to give it its final appearance.
While the depiction of angels represents most of Behzadi’s creative output, the artist also creates relief art featuring other designs. This includes motifs from nature like feathers, leaves, and flowers.
Behzadi frequently shares his newest works on his Instagram page while also posting reels that give insight into his creative process. You can check out more of his relief art below.

]]>The post Megan Bogonovich Creates Cool Botanical Ceramic Sculptures appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Because her process was laborious and time-consuming, Bogonovich decided to develop a technique in which she creates smaller molds using various objects and forms. After the molds are finished, she is able to cast different shapes quickly and attach them to the sculpture.
The adjustments not only allowed the artist to work more quickly but also “heightened the oddball-ness of the compositions.” The unpredictable nature of the glazing process also results in unusual and unnatural colors, adding another layer to the whimsicality of the pieces.
“My instinct as an artist is to work with multiple parts, many bits and pieces, organized intuitively,” Bogonovich shares. “Repetitive additions often result in decorative and embellished surfaces. I like to work in groups and consider the individual pieces to be part of a fluid whole.”
Bogonovich’s works are displayed in multiple art galleries and are often featured at art shows across the United States. The artist also gladly shares her newest creations on social media. Check out more of them below.

]]>The unusual choice of material doesn’t hinder Seo’s ability to create astonishing artworks; on the contrary. He manages to make lifelike sculptures that look like they could start moving at any moment.
The artist explains on his website that his use of chains doesn’t only help him turn his creative vision into reality. It also allows him to convey an important message about society.
“The chains in my work are fetters,” he explains on his website. “The fetters are all about our contemporaries’ complicated, forced relationships and cravings for materials. I want to show, through my works, the portraits of our time where personal thoughts and lives are ignored.”
Seo’s impressive works are a result of months and sometimes years of planning and execution. Each sculpture contains thousands upon thousands of pieces that are meticulously joined together to create a recognizable figure.
In the past years, Seo’s chain sculptures were on display in reputable galleries in his native Korea as well as several European countries. His works are also available on Instagram. Check out more of them below.

]]>Here to lend us a helping hand is artist Okuda San Miguel. Known for his colorful murals and outlandish sculptures, San Miguel ascribes to the notion that more is more—especially when it comes to his color palettes. In fact, when it comes to his work (which is often described as Pop Surrealism), color takes front and center stage.
With a stated goal of “coloring the world”, the Spanish painter and sculptor employs all the colors of the rainbow when he paints his geometric patterns. Inspired and very much shaped by street culture, in particularly graffiti, his work aims at transforming the world we live in: turning grey concrete into a work of art.
“I aim at converting the monochromatic concrete structures and buildings into vibrant places that are filled with color and positivity,” writes San Miguel on his website. “Helping and hoping to change the lives of people. I want people to stop looking at the pavement and start looking up and around.”
Another goal of his is to make art more accessible to the common man. “Art must be present in public spaces constantly and my mission is to transform these spaces in a way that passing through them is an enjoyable experience,” he notes.
Indeed, his art can be enjoyed around the world in the streets of countries like India, Japan, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Morocco, and Spain. Take a look at some recent noteworthy projects of his on Instagram.

]]>The post Aurora Robson Uses Plastic Debris as Art Material appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Exploring plastic debris as a viable art material, the finished result is a visual hybrid between semi-abstract childhood nightmares and forms found in nature.
“Art and garbage are polar opposites, yet they are the two things we leave behind on earth,” she reflected in an interview with Mistake House. “Once transformed into art, debris becomes the antithesis of itself.”
According to Robson, while we think of plastic as disposable—it’s precisely the opposite. Through her practice, she extracts plastic from its problematic destructive fate and utilizes its potential to become a source for enjoyable reflection. This process, of rescuing, de-contextualizing, and romancing, is an art form in and of itself.
“Plastic debris has ‘plasticity’ built into it,” says Robson. “It also has archival integrity built into it. From an environmental standpoint, this design flaw is catastrophic, but from an artist’s perspective it makes the material worthy of greater exploration.”
Her work also serves as an act of resistance, calling to mind how fragile our planet really is. “I am focused on how art can be of service in a changing world that relies, in part, on visionary thinkers using their specific skills to help envision and create a sustainable future so that the platform for all forms of human activity can remain in tact,” says Robson.
A recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Grant, a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Sculpture, a TED/Lincoln Re-Imagine Prize, and a National Endowment for the Arts Art Work Grant, Robson has exhibited her work internationally in museums, galleries and non-traditional spaces since 2002. But you can also see her work online. Scroll down for some recent highlights.

]]>The post Liz West Uses Light as an Art Tool appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>According to West, this exploration indeed stems from her childhood. “Most of my earliest memories as a child were of discovering the world in a sensory capacity,” she explained in an interview with Young Artists in Conversation. “I was attracted to objects, land and city scapes, spaces and fashion that were made of vibrant colors, the brightest tones, and hues and of strong saturation,” she recalls.
A key element in her work is the ethereal relationship between color and light. “I believe that understanding of color can only be realised through the presence of light,” says West. Using light as a tool, she fills architectural spaces or fabricated structures which immerse the viewer in a rich, saturated environment.
Her art, which spans site-specific installations, sculptures, and wall-based artwork, has been commissioned worldwide by renowned institutions and organizations that include the Natural History Museum, London Design Festival, Natural England, and Bristol Biennial.
“For me, the two mediums of color and light are inextricably connected,” she stresses. “I am not attracted to surface color like I am to luminous color, hence not being a traditional painter. Subjective mixtures of colors are core to my understanding of color and have helped shape the backbone of my practice, but it is my ongoing investigations into additive mixtures that inspire my work.”
The end result is often magical. Take a look.

]]>The post John A. Peralta Deconstructs Vintage Objects appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>A self-taught artist through and through, Peralta’s early deconstruction experiences would inform his later artistic practice. Now known for his unconventional sculpture style, Peralta combines mechanical objects and high-tech materials to create complex representations.
“First, I look for objects that are interesting to me personally,” he relayed a recent interview with CLOT Magazine, explaining his creative process. “I’m drawn to mechanical complexity and elegant design. I also look for pieces with which the average person might have a personal connection; think of your father’s pocket watch or your grandmother’s Singer sewing machine. I’m looking for that deep emotional connection with the ethereal that stirs up long forgotten memories in the viewer.”
According to Peralta, his interests are in visual and textural contrasts, motion, mechanics, space, time, and the use of bold colors, with influences including cubist artists like Metzinger and Picasso, and the surrealist, Storm Thorgerson.
“My fascination with mechanical objects has only intensified as the variety of pieces with which I’ve worked has expanded,” he admits. :My interest in them has also evolved. Working so closely with these old machines – seeing the wear patterns, grime, and dust that have accumulated over the decades and even centuries – feels like I’ve been given a private window into the lives of the people who once owned them.”
Take a closer look.

]]>“The process of making every creature and animal is very personal to me,” the artist was quoted by Brown Paper Bag, “it takes dozens of hours to complete the sculpture until it is exceptionally carefully hand-painted with a maximum of details and finished with a glossy varnish.”
Each piece takes her days but she enjoys every part of the process. And we get to enjoy the final result!

]]>The post Filip Hodas Turns Cartoon Characters Into Fossilized Skulls appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Next to each sculpture, there’s a card that states its made-up zoological name and the year when the character first appeared on TV.
“Initially, I wanted to make them stylized as dinosaur fossils set up in a museum environment, but later decided against it, as the skulls didn’t look very recognizable on their own—especially with parts broken or missing. That’s why I opted for (a) less damaged look and also added some assets to each of the characters,” Hodas told This is Colossal.

]]>The post It’s Always Play Time with CHIAOZZA appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>“Play is one of the most important foundations of our practice together,” they stressed in an interview with Art of Choice. “Play is a tool for working together within a loosely structured arena,” they add. “When we play, we enter into a realm that acknowledges reality and knowingly diverts it. Play forces us to constantly shift our perception into a realm that brings to light the wondrous, the magical, and the humorous in the everyday. Play questions what’s possible and explores new potentials.”
It’s this experimental attitude that drives their work, making room for new discoveries. “We take our play very seriously, and we apply a rigor and a focus to playful ideas that help projects realize a different potential,” say the artists.
Symbolically, play was also what brought the two together. “When we met, part of getting to know each other was through playing drawing games and doing craft projects together,” they recalled. “We started to take this play more and more seriously, and realized that there was an audience for what we were doing.”
With more than 35k fans on Instagram, there is, indeed, an audience for what they’re doing.
