Time Out

I’m taking a bit of a break this week but I discovered some wonderful art that I am sure you will want to see.

I love it when I come across work that is unexpectedly joyous and which underlines that it’s not necessary for art to take itself too seriously in order to make a viewer think. The following artists’ work hinges on a mixture of reframing perception, humorous visual play, and incongruous materials. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. The artists’ names below link to their websites so you can view more.

Erik Johansson Photography –  be sure to also explore his videos. And you can read further here.

And finally, don’t miss Hirotoshi Itoh’s Stonework: Pleasures of Paradox (click on Sculpture 1 and Sculpture 2). His pieces will delight you! More photos and background information are available in this article.
