German artist Clemens Behr makes some seriously wicked installations! He uses the simplest materials to create complex ephemeral architectures, which fill gallery spaces with origami-like structures.

I feel strangely drawn to the dark and baroque inspired paintings by Italian painter Roberto Ferri.

Roberto Ferri was born in 1978 in Taranto, Italy.

Via Look in art

Yes, these are real paintings.

All though these amazing pieces of art might look like photographs, they are actually outstanding realistic oil paintings. Made by the American figurative painter Lee Price.

Love the food theme!

I think these paintings by Sergey Nielsen for Close Up and Private‘s spring/summer 2010 editorial are amazing!

It’s not easy finding information about Sergey Nielsen, but is he in fact Sergei Sviatchenko, who is behind Close Up And Private? If any of you know more than me, please do share.

Justine Khamara‘s cut and collaged photography are macabre and amazing at the same time.

I find the work of Swiss artist Rémy Markowitsch very interesting. His way of layering the transilluminated photos makes the most outstanding pieces of art.

The shown artworks are taking from his series “On Travel” (2004) and “Lights” (2000).

The outstanding paintings of New York-based artist Winston Chmielinski are bursting with colors in every single brushstroke.

And so I’m back, well rested and with that hoped for tan. Lovely.

I want to start this new week, by showing you the outstanding cactus paintings by Korean artist Kwangho Lee. I love the colors and the feel of texture that Lee has created by experimenting with various techniques such as scratching, rubbing of the paintbrush, and tapping on the canvas whilst enlarging the subject to its extreme to make the cactus seem like a type of abstraction.

I’m not quite certain what ‘Studies Sleeping Reorganization’ by Anne De Vries is all about, but it sure caught my eye!

Born in The Hague, Anne de Vries lives and works between Amsterdam and Berlin.

Amazing watercolor paintings by Mark McHaley.

I love that Mark uses the beautiful and airy watercolors to paint such nerdy themes as Indiana Jones, Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings.

I find these airbrush paintings by artist Peter Zimmerman very fascinating. All the paintings are airbrush and epoxy resin on canvas.

Artist Kimiko Yoshida makes self-portraits. In fact she has done more than 330 self-portraits. Each more impressing and odd than the other.

Kimiko Yoshida was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1963 and left her home country, as a result of feeling the oppression against women. She now lives in Europe and has since 1995.
