Visual Bits #165 > The Unspoken
A Rainbow of Hand-Cut Paper Sculptures
At first glance they may not look like it, but these colorful sculptures by artist Jen Stark take a lot of their cues from nature. Her creations are made out of hundreds of layers of hand-cut paper in the full spectrum of the rainbow, looking a lot like topographical maps, heat waves or even visualizations of gravity. By layering her contrasting colors closely together in tight, near parallel lines, her works literally flash before your eyes with vibrant intensity. [Read more...]

3D Paintings on Panes of Glass
Using multiple layers of clear glass, Canada based David Spriggs and Chinese born Xia Xiaowan, transform flat artwork into 3D sculptures. Viewers are treated to different shifting perspectives of the works based on where they stand in the art space. Spriggs work revolves around powerful explosive imagery, often resembling storms, cosmic blasts or firework like explosions. Xiawan’s “spatial paintings,” which often feature distorted figures, are drawn individually using colored pencil on tinted glass. Only when these pieces are combined on their floor racks do the images create the whole hologram like effect.
