I had the pleasure to meet the extremely talented Hiroyuki Hamada yesterday and learn about his fascinating sculpture work. Some of  his works lead me to reminisce  about the early “Star Wars” aesthetics and i find them strikingly beautiful!

Visit Hiroyuki’s site for more information and impressions.

Streetart might be claimed dead… but i rather like the work of Berlin based Artist “Evol” who uses cardboard or old electric cabinets as the medium to create and reproduce a certain urban aesthetic… applying spray paint and stencil…

Check him out at Wilde Gallery Berlin (currently at SCOPE NY)

Working with the idea that the history of art is often lost in the broad view of things, Immer started taking a closer look at how people view that history , what exactly they might be looking at and started “toying” with it.

I wish he would start a service, where you could hand in those old paintings you inherited from your gramps and transform that attic dust collector into an edgy main floor centerpiece!

Or what happened when Spencer Tunick did a shoot and nobody showed up…

“Immaculate” by putting himself on the pictures, Ruben Brulat uses his naked body to express this feeling of anonymity he experiences in the La Défense neighborhood in Paris.

“When i started taking photographs of myself, it became obvious that it was easier to understand the malaise i had in these places, by getting naked i was feeling in total symbiosis. The more i was taking shots, the more i was understanding. Because, creating a fiction, may bring you closer to reality.”

Not sure i get his concept…lol… but i do like the aesthetics of Ruben Brulat’s work.

Cézanne couldn’t tell you what an apple looked like, not empirically (who could?), but his paintings shocked audiences by conveying what apples looked like to him. Painter Silke Schöner turns landscapes on their heads with extraction, paving fields and sky with empty plains of space that we can fill in.

Silke Schöner was born in 1968 in Krefeld, Germany. She has worked as an artist in Kassel, Germany since 1989 and has been widely exhibited in Germany, Japan, and the U.S.

There’s definitely something happening in the image series “Something is happening” by Amsterdam based Photographer Erwin Olaf!

With an incredibly detailed eye for life in the 1950s and ’60s, Erwin Olaf’s photographs offer much more than what’s seen at first glance. Subtle variations in color and the tiniest of precise touches render his models into actors whose stories transcend the moment in which they are photographed.

If you’re as much of a fan of Gehard’s work as I am… ever since i saw him at the SCOPE Art fair in Basel last spring… make sure not to miss the exclusive interview with him at Yatzer!

Unfortunately Gehard is not represented by me but by Galleria Rubin (Milan, Italy).

I truly admire his work. More images after the jump.

This is still pretty much how 75% of Chelsea Art Galleries like to say a “Warm Welcome” to their average visitor!

My friend and I actually had the same idea of doing a series like “Sentry” by Andy Freeberg a while ago. Guess it was not that “original” after all. Nevertheless… my hat goes of to Andy Freeberg for pulling it off!
