At first glance, these dice figurines by Korean artist Kim Hyun seem like a miracle of physics. The life-sized sculptures were constructed by running thin wire through the dice; Hyun used plaster casts of actual people as a guide to achieve the incredible accuracy and detail. The sculptures adopt multiple positions and use dice of multiple colors, making them an eye-popping exhibition of artistic brilliance.
Encased in glass displays, the floors surrounding the sculptures are littered with the remnants of plaster casts and hundreds of die. The installation is appropriately entitled "Dice Cast Dice" and is currently on display in Hyun's native Korea.
These amazing sculptures by Greek artist Vally Nomidou are "pulp-ably" pretty.
Vally Nomidou creates works that are drenched in meaning, yet are extremely delicate. This is because her materials consist strictly of paper and cardboard products. While other papercraft artists rely on metal or wooden frames inside their sculptures for support, Vally insists that her pieces be 100% paper. The interior of the sculptures holds a grid of vertical and horizontal cardboard strips that add support. The outside of this grid is covered in paper mache skin and corrugated coifs.
Vally Nomidou proves that she is a paper prodigy with this series of stunning sculptures.
Implications - Consumers appreciate products and artworks that are handcrafted rather than factory made. This is because they are usually higher quality, more rare, and have a greater sentimental value. Companies can appeal to their target markets by manufacturing goods that are handcrafted.
When you hear someone say, “Screw art!”, they may not be talking condescendingly about artistic forms, but rather, they may be referring to this unique style of portraiture by the talented Andrew Myers.
‘Screw Art’ is a series comprised of people’s faces that’s made from Andrew Myers screwing in bolts onto a wall at various depths to establish value and shading. I’m extremely impressed by the way Myers captures each subject's expressions so well that viewers can instantly empathize with each piece.
Implications - Consumers enjoy seeing commonplace items, such as screws, re-interpreted with other functionalities as it inspires them to challenge themselves and think beyond the norm. Corporations may consider hiring contemporary artists to fashion media campaigns that will exhilarate consumers in a similar manner as ‘Screw Art’ while garnering mass appeal.
