The post Simon Berger Creates Stunning Portraits By Cracking Glass appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>In his artist beginnings, Berger, who is a carpenter by training, experimented with spray can portraits and wood sculptures. But it wasn’t until he started brainstorming what to do with an old car windshield that he discovered the style of art that would go on to define his career.
After a successful first attempt at using glass as a canvas, Berger continued honing his skills and soon perfected the technique of incising images on a glass surface with a hammer. This process of creation through distraction has captivated art enthusiasts from all over the world and made Berger a well-known name in the art world.
While Berger is known to depict various subjects in his works, including cars and animals, human faces remain his biggest source of inspiration.
“Human faces have always fascinated me,” Berger shares on his website. “On safety glass, they come into their own and magically attract the viewer. It is a process of discovery from abstract fogging to figurative perception.”

]]>Kitamura creates simplistic crayon drawings that focus on everyday sights and the most basic things. His subjects, which range from animals and flowers to clothes and furniture, are shown in a minimalistic fashion. They feature just a few colors and simple shapes and see the subject dominate the entire canvas.
This simplicity and almost childlike feel to Kitamura’s drawings is what makes them strangely captivating.
“I find inspiration in everyday life, the simplicity of ordinary yet beautiful things that surround us,” Kitamura shares.
Kitamura, who has an art degree from Tokai University, has worked as a freelance illustrator since 2006. He has a significant following on social media, which includes over 70K followers on Instagram, while his works have been used in picture books, served as book and album covers, and graced the package of various products.

]]>From that, he built a rich portfolio of illustrations, graphic novels, tapestries, and even tarot decks—all things that can carry symbolic meaning.
He’s not always sure how the painting will come up until he finishes it: “I’ll have a vague idea of color and a small piece of a figure I can’t quite make out stuck in my head, and I’ll have to make it,” he says.
There’s something about certain artists that gives them the confidence to just barrel into a production and not necessarily knowing what’s going to happen, and yet having the confidence that it’s going to turn out well.
Such is certainly the case with Willcox and his work. Sometimes, the inspiration comes to him in dreams or during meditation sessions.
If you want to see more art by this interesting artist, follow him on Instagram, where he has around 230,000 followers already.

]]>The “2×4” boots are described as “all sole” and stay true to that description, with even the tongue being made of sturdy gum rubber. The only non-rubber components are the shoelaces and the leather ankle cuff to make them more comfortable for the wearer. The boots come adorned with a handful of details, including MSCHF at the sole and motifs that are similar to the blossom pattern famously used by fashion house Louis Vuitton.
“The boot tread has been extruded up through the body of the boot, and the upper is made of gum rubber sole material. Built to stomp some curbs,” MSCHF explains on its website.
The “2×4” boots will be officially released on March 19 through MSCHF’s online webshop in a limited availability for $400.
As part of the release campaign, MSCHF teamed up with legendary director Spike Lee to promote the shoes. They are also offering a “2×4” pair, worn and signed by Spike Lee, at an auction through Sotheby’s. These boots are estimated to fetch north of $2,000.

]]>Rogers’ paintings are all set in the world he calls The Southwestern Bellows. It is a world full of quirky characters, monsters, magic, and even aliens.
The artist describes this world as similar to a fantasy set in Medieval Europe with elements of folklore with a distinction that it takes place in Early America “with magical elements inspired by UFOlogy, cryptozoology, the occult, and the paranormal, which I feel is the modern folklore of our time.”
“I have a pretty clear picture of this place in my mind, but every time I make up a new story for a painting or a series of paintings, I learn a little more about this place, and the sense of discovery powers my drive to continue returning to this world,” Rogers explains.
Rogers has previously exhibited his works in art galleries around the world. However, the artist recently decided to fully focus on showcasing his paintings on his official social media and make them available for purchase through his website. Check out more of them below.

]]>The post Gustav Klimt’s Final Portrait Set to Be Offered at an Auction appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>According to Sotheby’s, Klimt, who is known for his works “The Kiss” and “Judith and the Head of Holofernes,” started working on “Lady with a Fan” in 1917. It was completed in 1918, shortly before his unexpected death in 1918.
“Lady with a Fan” is different from most of Klimt’s works because it was likely a product of the artist’s inspiration. At the time, Klimt was one of the most-respected portraitists, and most of his portraits were commissioned. This one, depicting an unknown woman across a yellow background filled with motifs inspired by East Asian art, is believed to be entirely made “in the pursuit of his own interests.”
“Dame mit Fächer (Lady with a Fan) is the last portrait Gustav Klimt created before his untimely death, when still in his artistic prime and producing some of his most accomplished and experimental works,” says Sotheby’s in the listing. “Many of those works, certainly the portraits for which he is best known, were commissions. This, though, is something completely different – a technical tour de force, full of boundary-pushing experimentation, as well as a heartfelt ode to absolute beauty.”
“Lady with a Fan” was acquired by Austrian industrialist Erwin Böhler shortly after Klimt’s death. It remained in his family until 1967 when it was purchased by Rudolf Leopold, famous art collector and founder of Vienna’s Leopold Museum. The painting was eventually sold to the current owner back in 1994.

]]>Chelouche decided to base his designs entirely around food, with each letter of the alphabet being styled as a food item that starts with that particular letter. For example, the letter “P” was shown as a pepperoni pizza slice, the letter “K” as a Kit-Kat bar, and the letter “G” as a mouth-watering bunch of grilled cheese.
Chelouche, who is a self-described “food lover,” revealed that he took part in the challenge in order to sharpen his skills and to have some fun in the process.
“Everything created on my page is personal work for my own growth, development of skills, and of course for fun,” the California-based artist explained.
