Paintings from Inside Cars in the Rain by Gregory Thielker
This view through a rain-soaked car windshield is an oil painting by Gregory Thielker They’re remarkably realistic.
Thielker writes:
These paintings became a way to explore how driving in weather shifts and changes the views outside the car as well how the driving experience informs our basic interpretation of environment. We easily understand how painting can mold cultural perception, which in turn influences landscape design to become more like painting (view points, scenic routes, etc.).
Brett Amory
Brett Amory was born June 25, 1975 in Portsmouth, Virginia. When he was 21 Amory moved to San Francisco to study motion pictures at the Academy of Arts. Soon after enrolling in school, Amory took his first drawing class and was introduced to his passion for the arts. Around the time Amoryturned 24 he tried his hand in painting. In 2002 Amory switched his major to fine art and started his first body of work called “Waiting” a series of paintings about the anticipation of the next moment. Amory gathers his source material by taking pictures on the street of people waiting. He gravitates towards visible quirks and, by his own admission, a lot of his subjects are older.

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”.

Leocadia Jurado’s New Creations
One of our favorite artists, Leocadia Jurado comes with her new creations using a mixed technique based on the art of collage and painting.
“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.

Paintings from Everyday Items by Bernard Pras
From far away these seem like regular paintings, nothing special. But look closer, these images by French artist Bernard Pras are created by making a collage of everyday items.
He takes everyday objects, and puts them together in a form that appears like stunning paintings when viewed from a distance.
Leocadia Jurado
Leocadia Jurado’s nickname could be “fairy fingers”. Educated in Plastic arts, former teacher of drawing and ceramic for children in Sevilla, this Spanish artist lives in Brussels since 17 years, where the passion for fashion led her to work as manager and visual merchandiser in various boutiques, notably Chine Collection.
Given her eagerness for creation, she decides at the same time to go in for painting using a mixed technique based on the art of collage. Her talent will not remain unnoticed and she is asked to decorate with collage and graffiti works a clothing boutique in Sitges, Spain.
After having designed several hats for a theater show “The wizard of Oz”, played in her native city, Leocadia starts to create a very unique and stylish collection of handbags made with crochet-work. Totally handmade, combination of pure geometric shapes and flaming colours, these handbags have a great success in Sitges.
Eager for new challenges, Leocadia chooses to apply this home-made technique to the upholstery of furniture. She makes her first try on a seventies armchair and recovers it using a plenty of wool balls of different colours.
The result is a complete rebirth. Her remarkable skill of creating a “patchwork”, where every color supports and emphasizes the others, gives to this object a fresh contemporary touch.
Her work really deserve to be noticed so if you want to help her to distribute her art, you may contact her at +32 473 80 28 13.
