She transformed cauliflower into human brains, carrot into lipstick and beetroots into shiny diamonds. After this starter you can find more on her website. Bon appetit!

The über-allround-cool-creator Mike Leavitt made a very cool series of hand-crafted action figures, resembling the likes of famous artists like Ai Weiwei, Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami, Gilbert and George and CY Twombly.

Tres spectacular supernatural sculptures by French artist Max Boufathal. They’re named ‘The Fighting Solar Bros’ and impersonate the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye and James Brown. The masks, bones and the golden muscles made of steel, plaster, black shoe polish and plastic bags look just amazing and actually pretty scary. Great.

Wonderful strange and minimalistic series of sculptures by talented German artist Samuel Henne called ‘Something Specific About Everything’. The objects are made out of everyday stuff, like kitchen-gear, pills, plastic glasses, tape, foam, screws, matches, you name it and it’s there, with every common lousy thing playing an important part in the picture. Great concept,[...]
