Ben Young

Born in New Zealand, Now living and working In Sydney, Australia, Ben Young is a self-though artist making wonderful glass sculptures. Inspired by New Zealands fantastic landscapes, he creates this series in Laminated clear float glass and concrete. The texture and colour of the glass is different in each piece, creating unique art works.
Ben Young; “I love watching the two dimensional shapes evolve into three-dimensional creations and the different way the light plays inside the glass. I love the liquid qualities the glass brings with it. It enables me to play with lighting and watch the glass react.”

Ben Heine

Nagai Hideyuki

Japanese artist Nagai Hideyuki drawings just pop up out of his sketchbook.

Inspired by street artists but by bound by the strict laws in Japan, he made up his own way to play with the viewer's mind.

You can Nagai Hideyuki creating more his 3D drawings on his youtube channel.

Mark Powell

London base artist Mark Powell loves his Biro pen (Ballpoint pen), most often the only thing he uses to create his images. Discarded maps, used envelopes and postcards act as canvases for the amazing portraits of elderly people. Nicely incorporating the lines, wrinkles and post stamps of the recycled material into his work. some of his recycled materials are over 200 year old maps, deeds, newspapers...

Mark Powell; 'If you make a mistake you destroy two things: the drawing and the document. I like that pressure to get it right.'

Nobuhiro Nakanishi

This is the amazing multi-layered world of Japanese artist Nobuhiro Nakanishi. His work is defined by the subtle changes of time turned into a three-dimensional physical sculpture or installation. It is a completely different experience from the typical flat picture we are used to.
Nobuhiro Nakanishi calls it multi layered drawings. Photographs taken over a period of time are printed out and mounted on acryl sheets.
