Dale Chihuly

Dale Chihuly is a glass blower and sculptor from washington,united states. I admire the way he uses glass in a unconventional and inovative way, often using it as a wall/celing covering with a light behind it to cast extrordinary colours and patterns.



There are some really informative and interesting videos on this exhibition page ;www.mfa.org/exhibitions/chihuly

Charles Clary

Charles Clary creates amazing detailed paper installations, inspired buy organic matter Clary hand cuts every layer and very delicatly constructs the releafes.












“It’s all intuitive. It’s just one layer playing off another, playing off another,” he says. “But I do try to make the viewer wonder whether they’re handmade or if industrial equipment is used, so I have to be very clean with my cuts.” Charles Clary.

unknown artist

i love the dence layered qualitys of this peice ,and the wondefull grey of it. unfotunatly i could find no clue as to who the artist was and after translating several russian websites was at a loss. i think the image above is a representation of a large residential building, prehaps a block of flats, the peice features what looks like photographs of windows arranged in a set position.


 there were a few other images on the site i found the above on, they look to be the same creator.

Carnovsky's RGB wallpaper

So far on my hunt for innovative and unusual designers this may be my favorite!


Crated by Italian design duo Francesco Rugi and Silvia Quintanilla under the studio name Carnovsky, these pieces were originally made for Milan design week(2010), the work is quoted as being the exploration of the"surface's deepness"and that"the designs create surfaces that mutate and interact with different chromatic stimulus"

Created by overlapping three different images, each image in a different colour. So that when in regular light the image appears clumsy,entangled and almost pattern like. Whereas when a colour filter is being used on at light source (or perhaps a set of glasses) a new layer is revealed. Dependent upon the colour of the light filter changing so to do the walls and another layer is revealed, and so on. This is called the "RGB(red, green, blue)"technique where only certain colours will show up under colour filtered light.


I really enjoy the subject matter and the way it has been drawn, it's very anatomical, which i find unusual and refreshing in interiors. i love the unusual idea that as the light changes secret images are revealed and how even in regular light it is surreal and beautiful.

the pieces are currently on exhibit at the Johannsen Gallery in Berlin. (from the 5th of November 2010 to the 5th March 2011)
