Beautiful Paintings from Italy - by Lucia Sarto

Do You think these are all paintings..?

As ‘realistic’ as it may look, this incredible painting is simply part of a new exhibition of four dimensional art in North East China. The collection of paintings, on display at a contemporary art exhibition in the Jilin province, uses techniques similar to the ‘stand-up’ advertising hoardings that are sometimes painted on the edges of sports pitches. The pieces are a huge hit with spectators who have already shown a talent for interacting with the works to become part of the art themselves.

Liu Bolin never ceases to amaze us! The talented artist continued his Hiding In New York series on Greenwich Street at the Tiles For America location dedicated to 9/11. Arrested Motion was on the scene to capture Bolin while he stood there for hours as his assistants painted him seamlessly into the fence which held tiles that represent the victims of 9/11. Bolin will open his solo at Eli Klein Fine Art in New York later today.

Dafen is known as city of artists in China, where we can see all famous picture all around, copied but almost like real. Also you can purchase all unique picture in copies such as "Starry Night" or "Mona Lisa" at the price of Kindle. This village, basically, as whole is an industry of reproduction of oil paintings. Its was founded in the mid-90's by a businessman with collaboration of twenty artists, but now its has become home to 5,000 artists, who produce about five million paintings a year, which is about half number of oil paintings created around the globe.

According to Chinese law the work loses its copyright after 50 years of creation, thats why most of work is considered legal.

In a clever art project, Viktor Hertz, a Swedish graphic design freelancer and student, re-fashioned logos of popular companies and flipped into something a little more honest. He says the honest logos reveal the content of each company instead of what's hidden behind the branding. I think it's hilariously brilliant.
