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.

The SELFISH AND DEVOTED Watering Can Design

This SELFISH AND DEVOTED watering can design was created by New York designer Deger Cengiz. It is an apparatus that combines a watering can and a plant pot, while causing a selfish and devoted relationship between them.



The spout is positioned so that water falls directly into the adjoining plant pot when the watering can is tilted. The angle of the pot causes the plant to grow away from the spout.

Sometimes, however, no photoshopping is necessary...

Belgian Artist's Amazing SHADOW SKETCHES


This artist's talent goes on and on forever on his Instagram site. He's so full of ingenious, inspired and imaginative thoughts that he is able to create so many awesome sketches, out of shadow - and everyday objects. It's like, if there's a shadow, he'll be able to create a sketch out of it. Amazing!

Earlier this year, Belgian film-maker and artist Vincent Bal stumbled upon an uncanny resemblance to an elephant in the shadow of his tea cup. This gave him the idea for Shadowology, a series of doodles that interact with the shadows of simple, everyday objects: a banknote, some ice cubes and a flower, for example, can turn into a church, a woman and a hippy.
“I draw a few lines and I get my image. It’s really the shadows that inspire me,” Bal says.
