NEON has realized an inhabitable sculpture formed from 1800 pairs of skin-colored tights arranged in a grid to form six identical sides.
Modern design and architecture have ensured that the line between interiors and the exterior is both transparent and at times blurred. This is a welcome trend indeed as extravagant use of glass in contemporary structures has ensured that green is once again ‘in’. No longer are home owners and architects interested in the ‘concrete structures’ […]
About A unique, material-driven sculptural chair by Ian Spencer and Cairn Young of Yard Sale Project, Black Tongue explores unprecedented forms in wood. The wood is finished using the shou-sugiban method, an ancient Japanese finishing technique that preserves wood by charring it with fire. In addition to being aesthetically striking and elegant, the chaise is rot, pest, weather, UV light, and fire resistant. At once inspired by and made to support the human form, the French walnut hand-carved chair evokes a sleek, curving body. The chaise’s smooth surface highlights the wood’s natural grain, reflecting light to reveal the wood’s beautiful, organic imperfections.

The reason I write reviews is just to rave about how much I loved somewhere and if I’m honest, I feel the pressure for this one. I’m worried I won’t have the words to accurately describe how amazing Masseria Moroseta is. Therefore, I’m going to keep it short and let the photos do the talking. Set i
The Easter bunny may have come and gone, but a classic garden icon can still be found this Spring - bunnies in the garden - whether a real rabbit, a stone sculpture hare, or as an animal topiary. Stone bunnies, (rabbits / hares) were first noted originating in the stories of Pompeii (read from exert in The Natural History of Pompeii) , so it's only fitting to see these stone sculptures strategically placed in a springtime garden. The art of creating topiaries has also lead to rabbits being sculpted from boxwood hedges for example in a garden, or from grass turf on an armature. Even the Channel Gardens at New York City's Rockefeller Center display one of the city's best Spring gardens, with a 12-foot-tall topiary of an Easter bunny made with ivy and moss, which is on display now through April 19. Both real and faux sculptures and topiaries can be purchased online or in home decor stores to add a little whimsy to your own garden this spring...

Blurring the borders between sea, sky and earth, this coastal garden delivers intimate, meditative spaces along with a sense of affinity with the limitless.
Urban arts; public arts. Not quite the same but close enough for us to feel comfortable putting them in the same gallery. Graffiti? We have no time for it. We feel it is just another form of vandalism.
Over a couple of months, I've bookmarked some cool outdoor installations/ landscape art/ environmental art. I thought I'd include them all in one big post. No need too elaborate too much on why or what...sometimes art just is... First up is 'Colored Pencils' by Jonna Pohjalainen. You can find more pictures of her work on environmentalart.net, a whole site dedicated to Finnish art of this genre. Is it a big thing in Finland?? I love the whimsy of this one created by Mehmet Ali Usyal for last year's 5 Seasons Festival in Chaudfontaine, Belgium. My favorite has to be a series of nest-like outdoor installations by artist Patrick Dougherty, created through the span of his career. He has built more than 200 such sculptures around the World. I was amazed by the sheer size of his work which requires "sticks by the truckload". Its also fascinating how he managed to make organic forms, in natural environments, using a basic of-the-earth material; look so other worldly.
