The post Artist Combines Painting and Sculpture to Produce Astonishing Artworks appeared first on MyTrendTales.
]]>Komar starts by creating abstract acrylic paintings that mainly feature vivid color palettes. She then adds polymer pieces, representing forms from nature and mythology, that emerge from the back of the painting and, in some cases, wrap completely around it. This essentially turns the pieces into a mix of painting and sculpture.
“At first, sculpture and painting were separate aspects of my practice that did not really intersect,” she explained in a recent interview with design boom. “I was doing a summer residency at SVA in 2021 and just through experimentation started combining 3D-printed forms with the paintings because I had an inexplicable urge to fuse these two aspects of my practice.”
Komar’s inspiration for these unusual pieces stems from her research into the “intersection of art and contemporary bioengineering,” with the artist seeking to “elucidate aspects of our reality that increasingly affect the human experience but elude comprehension.”
Komar exhibited her artworks in art galleries across the United States while also sharing them on social media. Check out more of them by scrolling below.

]]>Durix creates intriguing pieces known as “paintbrushes sculptures” in which paintings emerge from giant paintbrushes. They are made in such a way that it appears just one swoop of the paintbrush was needed for an entire image to show up.
His paintbrushes sculptures feature an array of different subjects. Sometimes, they depict detailed and captivating depictions of Geishas, while other times, they feature pop-culture characters, animals, and even street art elements.
Durix says that he was raised in “an artistic environment” since early childhood and decided to dedicate himself fully to art at the age of 21. He likes to feature protagonists from his childhood in his works while also enjoying mixing eras and characters that don’t have anything in common at first glance.
“He paints as he breathes, and he invites us to join him in this world full of colors where he gives free rein to his overflowing imagination,” it says on the artist’s website.

]]>“My inspiration comes from cycles of nature that I associate with glass making process because to me the material is at it’s most alive when it’s hot and being transformed, “McGarva explains on her official website. “The end result is solid and doesn’t move any longer, it is at the fragile time before disintegration and maintains a dynamic form and rich structures such as dry leaves, feathers or sea shells.”
While crafting her sculptures, McGarva relies on various techniques to achieve unique aesthetics. This includes molding glass by hand and using kiln cast, blown glass, and fused sheet glass, among others.
Due to the nature of her creative process, McGarva’s glass sculptures come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The artist also uses a combination of different-colored glass, making the pieces even more captivating.

]]>Cox uses parts of old pianos, mainly their keys, to create fascinating phoenix sculptures. His works serve as a captivating wall art while giving the instrument a new life and preserving the memories that were created with it.
“You can’t just take it to the tip and bury something like that in landfill, it’d just feel disrespectful. So for me, it’s an honor to be trusted to take something that means so much to people, and find another way it can bring some joy and beauty to a home,” Cox shared in a recent interview with New Atlas.
Cox started resurrecting old pianos almost by accident. His friend was building a recording studio and wanted to have a unique wall art to fill the space. Being a self-described “junk collector,” Cox found a set of piano keys in his studio and decided to repurpose them as a phoenix sculpture.
When people saw his first sculpture, they wanted similar artwork for themselves, so Cox kept on crafting them. He sources his material by finding old piano parts for sale, but also directly from owners who want their musical instrument turned into a lasting piece of art.
Cox recently finished his 50th phoenix sculpture and intends to keep on increasing that number as long as there are old pianos that need a new purpose. Scroll down to check out more of his works.

]]>We were recently reminded of the benefits of playtime through and Adam Frezza and Terri Chiao’s art. Known collectively as Chiaozza, the two treat art as their personal playground, experimenting with a range of mediums that include sculpture, installation, collage, design, and public art.
“We like to play together, experiment together, and use materials as the balls in the game, so to speak,” shared the couple in an interview with Matter of Hand. “Play means giving ourselves permission to do whatever we want and craft means the editors in us coming out and mediating the making process,” they explain. “But play and craft are in constant flux in our practice.”
According to Chiao, they use natural and synthetic materials, treating both as sources of inspirations. “The materials can be paint, paper, brush, string glue; anything we can guide together to make an image,” they note.
According to the duo, their projects are inspired by intersections of the natural and imagined worlds, highlighting the magic that can be found in the everyday. “We might agree that the spectrum of natural versus artificial is continuous,” says Chiao.
“A lot of the things that we’re attracted to come from the ‘man-made’ or ‘utilitarian’ world versus the ‘natural’ world. So they’re two descriptors that we use but they often flow into each other.”
Founded long before the pandemic, back in 2011, the couple have since exhibited their collaborative work in solo exhibitions in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles, in numerous group shows around the US, and in a variety of art and design venues internationally.

]]>But he is most known for his sculptures. Made of stainless steel, glass, and LED lights, they present an ethereal reality that gestures towards the theatricality of minimalism and formalism. “My work is my best attempt at giving the impossible, the infinite, a physical, objective existence,” he explained once in an interview with Aesthetica Magazine. “The materials are merely an extension of the gesture.”
There is a minimalistic simplicity to his work, and yet it expresses something infinite (a “pluralistic paradox”, according to James). “I’ve tried to visually demonstrate the colossally vast and the infinitesimally small,” he says, “the cosmos and the divinity inside oneself.”
According to James, his intention is to express science, spirituality, and philosophy in an object the purest and most honest way he knows how. His work – exhibited internationally in galleries, museums, and art fairs – can also be experienced through his Instagram page, though best perceived live.

]]>“Making art is one of the funnest things I can imagine, and that is mainly due to how much play can be introduced into art making,” he shared in an interview with Visual Melt. “It can be very easy to slip into a routine or a method of working that’s comfortable and reliable (something I’m very guilty of at times). Having as much play with a project as possible can usually produce outcomes you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise.”
As such, his creative process includes getting his hard dirty. With a love of anything handmade, his artwork includes collage work, comics, and toy making. And with almost 20k followers on Instagram and clients that include TATE Kids, Air France Magazine, and Family Store, it’s clear he’s not the only one having a good time.
“I’ve been making pictures and art for as long as I can remember, but I guess I started pursuing it as a career after I left school […] and did a degree in Illustration at the University of Brighton,” he relayed. “I feel very privileged in that I’ve always known what I wanted to do (make art) and so I have been working towards it all my life. Even though I studied Illustration and still work a lot as an Illustrator, I tend to classify myself as an artist and maker.”
Take a look at some of his more imaginative creations:

]]>The Washed Ashore Project aims to make a change. The brainchild of environmentalist artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi, it raises awareness about plastic pollution through community cleanups and workshops. The collected trash is then used to create large scale sculptures of sea life threatened by marine debris.
It all started when Haseltine Pozzi noticed the immense amounts of plastic pollution on the pristine southern Oregon beaches. Now, together with a team of over 10,000 volunteers, she works to eliminate plastic waste. So far, over 20 tons of debris were turned into over 70 sculptures of the animals. These sculptures tour as the Washed Ashore Project traveling exhibit, educating and inspiring countless people to take action in their own lives to prevent contributing to this global problem.
“As the beaches around the world wash up more stuff from the land and less from the sea I believe we must examine our relationship to rivers and oceans,” writes Haseltine Pozzi on her website. “I attempt to scoop up part of what might be below the blue waters and place it in front of us. In some ways it may be an escape, but at the same time a confrontation.”
Join her inspiring cause.

]]>The post Amy Bennett Creates Dramatic Scenes in Miniature Form appeared first on MyTrendTales.
]]>Relying on her 3D models allows Bennett to manipulate the setting, offering complete control over lighting and composition, as well as a vantage point to achieve a certain dramatic effect. Her recent models included a town, neighborhood, lake, theater, doctor’s office, and church.
“My earlier paintings are more explicitly narrative,” explained Bennett on her website. “Similar to memory, they are glimpses of a fictional scene that might move the viewer to consider the moment before or after the one presented in the painting. I am interested in storytelling over time through repeated depictions of the same house or car or person, seasonal changes, and shifting vantage points.”
The narratives she creates, using both models and painting, are eerily silent – a sort of horror scene that unfolds in front of the viewer’s eyes. Peek inside her miniature worlds in the gallery below.

]]>His art is rustic, minimalistic, and beautiful. It’s incredible to think that he can simply take old forks and spoons and then turn them into something artistic, but that’s exactly what inspires and motivates him. “The upcycled work I create is a testimony to the belief of conserving and appreciating our resources,” My Modern Met cited him.
You can see some of his sculptures below and find more on his Instagram page, where he has over 100k followers. He also sells the pieces, and you can get them on Etsy.
