Colors and explosions, this is awesome. By Cai Guo-Qiang at the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Dohar, Qatar.

Primarily known for creating three-dimensional sculptures from recycled skate decks, haroshi recently created this version of the Nike Dunk. The special edition Dunk was actually created from decks belonging to skaters from Nike’s own pro skate team and include boards from the likes of: P-Rod, Lance Mountain, Eric Koston, Brian Anderson, Cory Kennedy and many more. The pair is actually modelled on a pair of haroshi’s own well-worn shoes. These detailed shots (exclusive to Hypebeast and of course Nike themselves), illustrate each of the creases, crimps and even the knotted laces worked into the sculptures. Interestingly the curvature of the decks accurately matches that of the used Dunk, which is portrayed as a hidden message within the art. A second subliminal message is found under X-ray scanning, where “Sole in soul” is revealed, making a pun from the skate artwork that finds itself on the underside of the shoe.

Bought a new charger for my camera yesterday, been missing taking some photographs now and then, just bring it out on the weekend or something. Anyway this guy is a huge inspiration for me. Seriously, everything is quite beautiful. Look in the “Blackout” series, might be my favorite. Just inverted images of huge mountains.

This pixel series by Alicia Alleyne is pretty cool, like that one that looks like the death star.

This guy coming straight outta Holland has the most crazy sculptures. Now have bunch of shows in NY.

Quite stunning work from Josef. Just found one of his photos at tumblr and found the dudes portfolio.

This dude just made something i really would like to put up on my walls. I dont know if they are photographed but it looks like they are painted. Anyhow, stones in different positions. Looks really nice.

Check out the dudes portfolio here.

Just found this dudes stuff. Motomichi Nakamura is i guess this Japanese guy that makes just awesome stuff. Found him through Bengas – Baltimore Clap, and checked some of the other stuff out. Anyway, think it looks pretty dope!

Stumbled upon this earlier today, only had the time to watch one of them but the son and the father talking about why the sons abstract beer project is art was kind of fun. The other ones seems pretty dope as well. The movies is just abut the sons and/or daughters talking about their abstract art with their parents.

There is some more beautiful videos at their Vimeo site.
