Street art by Etam Cru

Polish artists, Bezt and Sainer are Etam Cru. Masters of large scale murals. Their initially diverse styles have been attracting each other as magnets with time, being today able to decorate cities with the heterogeneity of their drawings and the homogeneity of their intention: putting an end to dullness by bringing the new, the unusual and the surprising in.

Hyper Realistic Paintings by Young-Sung Kim

Korean artist Young-Sung Kim was born in Seoul in 1973 and graduated from Department of Painting, College of Fine Art, Hongik University.

Through his paintings, Young Sung Kim visually critiques the level at which we place “value” on objects both commercially and ethically. Kim uses contrasting subject matter to illustrate the distinction between the living and the material. It seems that as a society our ideas of how something is valued are intrinsically rooted in commerce. Kim seeks for the viewer to question the meaning and “value” of living creatures in our modern society.

Artist concentrates his exploration of life on small creatures such as snails, frogs, and goldfish. He paints these species resting on man-made objects such as cutlery and glassware. Stay up to date with his work by following him on Twitter.

Peter Bynum: Illuminated Paintings on Glass

Using acrylic, the artist paints on sheets of tempered glass and layers them together to create the final image. Experimentation led him to the discovery that transformed his work. “One day I held a glass painting up to the light and saw that when the light suffused the paint it illuminated something hidden,” he says. 

Bynum says that, as an idea, painting on glass tends to raise an inherent bias in the “crafty” vein, despite seeing that “glass makes sense for painting, as it breaks away from the tradition of light hitting painting on an opaque surface. Light has always been depicted in painting but never used as an element in the painting itself.  By having a life behind the paint you double the amount of light available to the painting.  So light almost lets you see inside the paint - it illuminates.” 

Peter Bynum lives and works in New York.
