Artist Creates Psychedelic Art By Pouring Paint And Resin Onto A Canvas

Bruce Riley is a talented Chicago-based artist who creates beautifully psychedelic paintings of poured paint and dripping resin. His artworks contain a blinding myriad of details and structures that form surreal creatures or psychedelic mandalas.

Riley says that most of his creations are the result of pure improvisation and experimentation. “You can’t have any other intent but moving. You can’t worry about it, you can’t stop, you can’t choke. It’s obvious when it works. It’s obvious when it fails,” poetically explains the Riley. “The paintings aren’t about specific things, they’re all about kind of the same thing. And I’m not really trying to define any ideas, I just let it flow.”

Take a look at Riley’s hypnotizing works and don’t miss his interview in the video below.

Singaporean Artist Uses Bike Tires To Paint Famous Landmarks

Singapore-based artist Thomas Yang created these unique artworks using a tool normally associated with tracking mud into your flat – bicycle tires. By strategically placing these tire marks, they become perfectly suited to repeat complex structures like the Eiffel tower or the Empire State Building.

“The idea came up while I was toying around with ideas on how I can paint with a bicycle. Tire tracks were the first thing in my mind. Then I went further to explore the characteristics on each of the tire pattern and realized that I could possibly paint some building structures” Yang explains.

Yang, who is a cycling enthusiast himself, made four different prints – “The Cyclist’s Empire” (the Empire State Building), “God Save the Bike” (Tower Bridge), “Bicycle Mon Amour” (Eiffel Tower) and “The Unforbidden Cyclist” (the Forbidden City), producing only 100 printed copies of each one. Unsurprisingly, all of them were quickly sold out, with the proud owners being listed on 100copies.net (might be useful if you’re desperate to get one).

“There’s only one rule in choosing the popular landmarks: there has to be cycling culture in their city.”

“A total of 20 tires were used to create this series.”

Each piece comes stamped with a quirky name and edition number, along with its own special bike-themed description.

“The process in fact was very difficult. Each of the landmarks were made with at least 40 trials to give you the best end result in order to make into 100 copies.”

This Artist Spent 10 Years Carving A Giant Cave – Alone With His Dog

For the last 10 years, American artist Ra Paulette has been walking alone into New Mexico’s desert to work. He spends his time carving a sandstone cave that he found, turning it into a wonderful subterranean space full of light.

Without no one but his dog for company, Paulette created different designs and styles for every cavern, giving each one very specific qualities and textures.

The purpose of this gigantic artwork is to create an environment that would inspire “spiritual renewal and personal well being.” It will also serve as a venue for artistic events once it’s finished.
