Once, my design teacher told me that a good design occurs when a layman sees it and says: "I could've done that in five minutes." Krzysztow Mężyk's works certainly do not follow the traditional approach to painting - not only the composition, but also the structure seems messy, random. Dirt. It's important here, where the paints are left half-mixed on the canvas and the lines or stains are almost unrecognizable. While this effect cannot be an expression itself, it can surely help the artist to convey it.

Jean-François Rauzier - Hyperphotography
What's the best resolution a modern camera can achieve? Do you know? If you do, forget it - that's the past now, as French photographer Jean-François Rauzier will beat it. This hardened by his countless achievements fanatic spends few hours scanning a place with his camera and few hundreds more blending images seamlessly into one, grand fantastic landscape Unique, surreal, time-consuming work.

"The Way Things Go" - by Peter Fischli and David Weiss
I don't usually post videos. But an exception proves the rule. Or, judging by what I want to show you today it will become a rule. Because the Swiss artist duo Fischli&Weiss made something so exceptional that it has left me with my jaw dropped.
They specialize in making art out of trash - and this installation is too, made out of elements found on a junkyard.

John Grade - Sculpture
These grand, biomorphic structures hanging above your head are the work of John Grade, an American sculptor. After drawing intricate sketches and making medium-sized models, he proceeds to make his art from natural materials. Clean, minimalistic forms are warming and slightly overwhelming - just like the nature itself.Vania Zouravliov - Illustration
Vania Zouravliov is a Russian illustrator and graphic designer. After showing signs of talent from his early age, he was exposed to a lot of famous artists and art in general, scoring his first exhibition at the age of thirteen. Now, Zouravliov creates graphic novels and illustrates for, for example, National Geographic.Jean Shin - sculpture
Artists who use a variety of media are always hard to put here. From a rich collection I am forced to choose ten pictures and present them with few sentences. And that was the case with Jean Shin, who draws, prints, photographs, sculpts, records and does other great stuff - so I chose her sculptures. Trophies for ordinary workmen, lottery tickets cities and deconstructed clothing - conceptual, thought-provoking, good art.Kiwilicious Jewelery #16 - Melanie Muir
It's hard to find someone who had no plasticine as a kid. There are people who continue to play with it as adults, such as Melanie Muir, who is working on a colourful polymer clay. After finishing Glasgow School of Art (with honors) she decided to stay in Scotland and work on minimalistic designs and pastel colours, which she combines as well as a professional painter. A real art in design.
