DISAPPEARING SCULPTURES by Julian Voss-Andreae

Julian Voss-Andreae (born 15 August 1970) is a German sculptor living and working in the U.S.

Voss-Andreae’s work is heavily influenced by his background in science. His work includes protein sculptures, such as Angel of the West (2008), a large-scale outdoor sculpture for the Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter, Florida portraying the human antibody molecule, a sculpture for Nobel laureate Roderick MacKinnon based on the ion channel structure, and the quantum physics-inspired Quantum Man (2006).

Drawing inspiration from Voss-Andreae's background in physics, Quantum Man is the image of a walking man seen as a quantum object. Made up of over a hundred vertically oriented steel sheets, the 8′ (2.50 m) tall sculpture provides a metaphor for the counter-intuitive world of quantum physics. Symbolizing the dual nature of matter, the sculpture seems to consist of solid steel when seen from the front but nearly disappears when seen from the side, as light shines through the spaces between the slabs.

In 2007, Voss-Andreae created a second version called Quantum Man 2 in stainless steel.

TRASH to Stunning ANIMAL SCULPTURES by Artist Bordalo II

Amazing! Where we see trash, this artist sees art and uses his artistic talent and incredible skills to spread his message about endless waste production by creating some of the most stunning animal sculptures out of plastic and metal waste.

Therefore, unlike most artist, Portuguese street artist Bordalo II (Artur Bordalo) doesn't have to buy his material - he scavenges it. He seeks to portray nature (animals) with the materials that threaten it, using the walls on streets and other outdoor surroundings as his canvas.

Turkish sculptor Varol Topaç specializes in kinetic sculptures. That means that his pieces are in constant motion. "Bir-lik," which is made out of tree branches, resides in the Swissotel Büyük Efes in Turkey and might be his coolest one yet. Check out more of his work here.
