Last Tuesday, August 23, in the Chinese hotel Fuzhou Hotel, perhaps not a very important, but definitely curious and noteworthy event took place. Taiwanese artist and food stylist Huang Mingbo, who was invited to a workshop on the art of cooking in Fuzhou, made from five cooked lobsters a small sculpture depicting … a motorcycle. The workshop participants also made their own sculptures out of food, trying to replicate what Maestro Huang Mingbo did. Cooking lobsters, disassembling them into "spare parts", fastening them here and there with threads and toothpicks, and building a mini-motorcycle, which outwardly practically does not differ from its large-sized prototype, is not to build gingerbread houses made of dough, pastilles and marzipans.
Of course, both seafood lovers and bikers, both artists and sculptors, and fans of unusual, amazing art, where you never know what fate threatens one or another material, and what the next minute will become, made a pilgrimage to the stand with lobster motorcycles paper, leather or food.
We were not told what happened to the lobster motorcycles after the exhibition, but I dare to assume that lobsters did not turn into motorcycles forever …

Small details in vivid paintings, sculptures and installations by Ryan McGinness
What happens if the artist decides to create something original, interesting, modern, bright, not at all disgusting, but at the same time sharply different from the classical canons of art? The result is paintings, sculptures and installations by Ryan McGinness, an artist who is called the Andy Warhol of the Information Age. If you look at one picture, you can see thousands of familiar and unfamiliar images in it - from the cover of the album of the "Misfits" group to the artist's girl
The art of body painting. Trina Merry's motorcycle people for the International Motorcycle Roadshow
Body painting, or painting on the human body, is not only the skill of the artist, but also of his models, because sometimes they have to work on the brink of their capabilities. For example, we recently described how the artist Emma Hack "made" 17 painted models to depict a car wrecked in an accident, which was necessary for a social advertising campaign for safe traffic. And her colleague, artist Trina Merry from San Francisco, made out of people
