RAINBOW IN UR HANDS


Shinji Kawamura from Tokyo, Japan. Has been involved in many amazing projects from  “an arbitrary pointP” to the “PythagoraSwitch” and now the “rainbow book”. He is the creative director of Weiden & Kennedy New York and has work with most of the BIG Brand names out there. From Adidas, PlayStation, Nissan, Axe and the list goes on.


The Rainbow in your hands is a new type of flip book. If you flick through book all that’s on the pages are 7 coloured rectangles colour of exactly the same size. Not the most gripping read until you flip through it quickly and then the magic starts to happen in your hands, creating the most beautiful Rainbow.

AMAZING REALISTIC WOOD SCULPTURES


The cloth looks silky smooth to the touch and the apple looks ripe for eating. But taking a bite of these ones would leave you with a mouth full of splinters. These are the creation of art professor Tom Eckert, who carves, turns, bends and laminates wood to looks like fabrics, glass, stone and fruit. A beautiful and recurring detail in Tom’s sculptures is pieces of cloth, draped over another object. 

They give you serious trouble believing that the sculptures are wooden: each imitation of a cloth falls gently and seems to be practically weightless. Tom Says “By tradition, cloth has been widely used to conceal and shroud objects in practices ranging from advertising to church rituals. Covered forms are often more evocative – with a sense of mystery absent from the uncovered object by itself”

These are some of my favorites from his collection.  To see more of his work : Tom Eckert Feel free to email me your favourite Artistwork. visit my website for more: www.darrenbarnard.co.za
