Ivan Hoo’s Hyper-realistic Drawings
Whatever you prefer to call it – hyper-realistic, super-realistic, photo-realistic – what’s real is the remarkable level of skill involved. We’re so taken with this type of art, we’ve featured it several times before (here and here and here and here). This time, it’s the work of Singapore-based artist Ivan Hoo. What makes his work…
Read MoreSunday Sketches by Christoph Niemann
Creativity manifests itself in different ways. We certainly appreciate well-planned, laborious works of art. But we also love seemingly effortless, spontaneous pieces that sort of continuously flow.

The sheer scope of her work seems to defy the laws of nature; piling, layering and bundling in almost organic forms that seem to bring to mind natural systems. These photos probably don’t even do her work justice.…
Read MoreAssemblage Series
We must admit, we are suckers for mosaics. The thrill of approaching a piece of art with the gradual reveal of being an assemblage of some sort never gets old. Florida-based artist Zac Freeman, too, clearly has an affinity for the conglomeration of smaller pieces to build a whole. And he does it masterfully. His…
