Bring your most crazy idea to life, set the result on a pedestal or frame it - and this is already a work of art. It remains only to spice up your "masterpiece" with comments, to accompany it with an original legend, and you can declare yourself to the world. Many newly minted artists and sculptors work according to this principle. Sculptures from the series Duramencreated by members of the French art studio Bonsoir pariscan be considered a challenge announced to all such creators. What the works from the Duramen series represent could be seen by visiting the Hermitage or the Tretyakov Gallery after the fire. Swollen and melted picture frames are a very dull and uninteresting sight. If it were not for the fact that it was in this form that the sculptures were originally conceived, and manually carved from such noble woods as oak, spruce, pear and linden.
The "melted" sculptures of the Bonsoir Paris art studio are beyond art, closer to absurdity and paradox. Under the guise of useless rubbish, talented masters managed to disguise real masterpieces, and thereby register both in the camp of rebels, whose work shocks, shocks and causes bewilderment, and in the society of those who are called the mainstay of modern art. What are the frames worth if there are no pictures inserted in them? And what about the same frames, but damaged by fire and deformed by heat? Nothing, if it is a will of the case. And a fortune, if this is the main idea of the art project.
The incredible sculptures from the Duramen series cause disgust in some people, bewilderment in others, and admiration and a desire to imitate others. What emotions these works will evoke in you, you can check on the website of the Bonsoir Paris art studio.

Surreal molten mirrors in the Mizukagami installation
The symbol of the "constancy of memory" is the flowing down, seemingly "melted" clock. The surrealist Salvador Dali created this unique image, anticipating, to a certain extent, the desire of artists in the future to conquer the nature of things, to force them to take forms and states unusual for them. An example of this discrepancy is the installation "Water Mirror" (Mizukagami), created by Japanese designers Rikako Nagashima and Hideto Hyoudou

New York or Tokyo, San Francisco or Hong Kong, Miami or Mexico City, Copenhagen or Frankfurt - you can recognize each of them in these carved sculptures depicting models of modern metropolises.

Wood Art: Mathematical Wood Harmony Cha Jong-Rye
Wood art is a trend that was in vogue back in the era of stone axes. Wood still remains an indispensable material for works of art - and even such non-standard ones as living wooden sculpture. But when working with already sawn wood, not every artist will be able to fully use the natural wood texture, its rings and fibers. The way the Korean sculptor Cha Jong-Rye does it
Portraits and other paintings from molten and rolled plasticine. Creativity of the Mondongo art group
I can confidently assume that working with plasticine, forming from it people and animals, plants and fruits, buildings and cars, had, if not everyone, then every second person, and if not in kindergarten, then in the lower grades. However, I have never seen a grown-up treat him as a serious material for creativity. Although the artists Juliana Laffitte, Manuel Mendanha and Agustina Picasso, part
Molten porcelain in the Livia Marin collection
The dishes are beating for good luck. And if it does not beat, but melts? This question can be posed to artist Livia Marin, who has created an entire collection of melted cookware. Moreover, the porcelain puddles are decorated with a colorful pattern, which emphasizes the unusualness of the exhibits
