Button and Pin Art by Ran Hwang
Ran Hwang created amazing button and pin art by sticking pins through buttons thousands of times, and then organizes them into the shape of a massive bird on a wall. Each image requires the hammering of thousands of pins with buttons into a wall. No glue is used. The buttons can move or fall at any time. However, the work is only completed after the bird is surrounded, naturally, by a cage.
“My immense wall installations are extremely time consuming and repetitive manual work,” says Hwang. “This is a form of meditative practice that helps me find my inner peace. Pins are used to hold buttons onto the surface to form a silhouetted image, or to disintegrate such image. No adhesive is used so the buttons are free to stay and move, which implies the genetic human tendency to be irresolute. I use buttons because they are common and ordinary, like the existence of human beings”.

We love the spacial appearance of those copper-plate engravings.

“Trick of the Eye” by John Pugh
At first glance, it looks as if some natural disaster has shaken away the walls of these buildings to reveal architecture hidden for thousands of years.
And at second and third glance, it looks like that too.
The incredibly lifelike scenes are actually huge works of art, painted on the side of perfectly intact buildings.
The paintings, which have fooled many, were created by John Pugh, who specialises in trompe l’oeil – or ‘trick of the eye’ – art.
He uses his skills to delude the viewer into seeing 3D scenes painted on flat surfaces.

He takes everyday objects, and puts them together in a form that appears like stunning paintings when viewed from a distance.
