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.”

]]>During a recent solo exhibition at Albarrán Bourdais art gallery, artist Fernando Sánchez Castillo presented a recreation of Diego Velázquez’s Expulsion of the Moriscos, one of the paintings that was destroyed in the Royal Alcázar fire. The painting, which depicted expulsions of Maors from Spain in 1609, was recreated through a laborious process that included the use of AI text-to-image software Midjourney.
According to Spanish media outlet El Pais, Castillo first gathered detailed descriptions of the painting from historical records and a copy of a simple sketch of the painting that is currently being held in Madrid’s Prado Museum. He and AI enthusiast Paula García then used the collected data, as well as other paintings on the same subject, to make various recreations of Velázquez’s lost artwork with Midjourney until they got the best result.
“It’s a time-consuming job that requires patience. You move forward, go back, check internet images, then move forward again,” García told El Pais.
Castillo and García say that 80% of their recreation of Velázquez’s “Expulsion of the Moriscos” could be attributed to the artist, with the remaining 20% being AI.

]]>Frederiksen takes an unusual approach by zooming in on particular scenes and showing them out of context. This usually involves moments of high tension or ones that foreshadow future climactic happening. By doing so, the artist creates a visually appealing piece that often contains hints of dark humor.
According to Frederiksen, the high-tension moments and escalations that take place in cartoons take a back seat and are shrouded in playfulness. His goal is to make them more pronounced with his embroidery art, which he creates using a free-motion embroidery technique.
“Using familiar imagery, I like to examine fear, panic, toxic masculinity, anxiety, anticipation, and humor, all through the lens of the shared visual language of Looney Tunes cartoons,” Frederiksen explained in a recent interview with BOOOOOOOM!.
Frederiksen presented his intriguing embroidery works through solo exhibitions at The Flat in Milan, Italy, Galleri Urbane in Dallas, Texas, and the UNION Gallery in London, UK, among others. He also shares his work on social media.

]]>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.

]]>The more you scroll through his page, the more it becomes clear why he’s so popular. First off, his technique is simply impeccable. You don’t have to be an art expert to see that this man is incredibly skilled, and this serves as the foundation for all of his success.
However, his popularity is also about a lot more than just his technical proficiency. Howlett, as we already mentioned, has a unique style. His surrealist paintings often tell stories of giants walking amongst lofty mountains, or else laying down amongst them as well. He also tends to paint portraits of women who how somehow fused with the trees around them.
If these descriptions seem confusing, that’s because the paintings are the kinds of things you have to experience firsthand. So check out Howlett’s page and see how amazing they are for yourself!

]]>Sometimes, these creatures have an “alien” feel to them, looking like they have traveled from another corner of the universe to visit Earth. Other times, they seem like ancient spirits who have woken up and are now roaming nature.
Hansen grew up in rural Idaho before moving to Bali, where he set up his workshop. There, he works with local artists to refine his techniques and explore new approaches to various mediums, ranging from woodcarving to metalworking.
In a recent chat with NASH AND BANKS, Hansen said that the inspiration for his art comes out of “curiosity, beginner’s mind, my childhood in rural Idaho, traveling and constantly learning and adapting”.
“But I wonder if inspiration is coming from me or through me? I mostly don’t feel a sense of ownership over what is coming through, only an appreciation for when creativity does flow,” Hansen added.
The central aspect of Hansen’s art is his commitment to a handmade approach and use of natural materials like wood, metal, bones, and plant fibers. Most of the materials that shape his sculptures are recycled or salvaged.

]]>Khoshroo’s busts show features of the human face in an abstract way. They are formed with thick slabs of polymer, which looks like they were recklessly put together and abandoned before the work was complete.
Some of the busts are made with a single color of polymer, while others feature multiple colors joined together in seemingly random ways. However, there is nothing random about Khoshroo’s works, as each color and shape are meant to project different emotions and personalities.
“I search for materials with interesting behaviors that embody a certain kind of empathetic physical feel. This material is very gestural on its own: The pieces dance and wrestle with this sticky substance to shape it into its final human forms,” Khoshroo told Colossal in a recent interview.
Khoshroo describes himself as a self-taught artist. He started painting and making sculptures in 2009 and has since become a recognizable name in the art world. He works and lives between London, UK, and Tehran, Iran, while his works have been exhibited all over the world in recent years.

]]>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.

]]>Kusaite is versatile in her approach to art, having worked on projects including textile art, space design, and various forms of concept art. However, in recent years, the main focus of her creative energy has been nature and its ecosystem.
“This evolved into an interest in designing indoor and outdoor sustainable green environments, looking at the balance between local plant ecosystems and urban environments,” Kusaite explains on her website.
Kusaite’s botanical illustrations are full of intricate details and depict plants and flowers in various stages of their life cycle. This is a result of hours of research that Kusaite puts in before she starts working on an illustration in an effort to showcase the full beauty of her botanical subjects.
This adds a captivating variety to her work, which has been recognized by interior designers, book publishers, and ceramic manufacturers, among others, who use her works in their line of work. You’ll often find Kusaite’s illustrations in hotel lobbies, botanical books, and ceramic pieces like plates.
