Tristam Lansdowne

From Hi-Fructose:

Tristam Lansdowne paints remote, idealized landscapes that appear so contained they seem almost artificial. It’s easy to imagine these distant oases as dioramas or holograms for some sort of mad scientist’s sci-fi weather experiment. Architecture, plants and geological formations are stacked neatly together, presenting the manmade and the natural co-existing in a way that seems too good to be true in the world as we know it today. Take a look at some of Lansdowne’s work below.

Mariel Neudecker

Mariel Neudecker Info taken from Colossal Post on her work:

"In a fascinating blend of chemistry and sculpture, artist Mariele Neudecker builds three dimensional images contained within large aquariums, an ongoing series she refers to as “Tank Works.” Starting with source materials that include romantic paintings and photographs, Neudecker creates environments that attempt to interpret the 2D imagery in three dimensional space. The representational pieces are contained entirely within glass tanks filled to the brim with water that also contain fiberglass mountains, model ships, and other sculptural objects. She also adds chemicals that provide an element of atmosphere while also forming a sort of contained climate that changes gradually over the course of days, weeks, and months."

Taken from Colossal

Here is Michaels Website, and some info pulled from there:

"My work explores the way in which we engage with our surroundings and the possible consequences our actions have upon the world in which we live. Through my work I attempt to question the rationale of our choices, and try to reveal the dichotomy that may exist between what we desire and what we manifest.  Recently my work has focused upon the mechanisms that power our society and examines how they may influence the construct for a possible future."

Daniel Agdag

From his Website:

Melbourne based artist Daniel Agdag will tell you that he makes things out of cardboard. This declaration in no way illuminates the delicate form and eccentric narrative of his work.

His cardboard practice has lent itself to his award winning short films screening worldwide, garnering a ‘Dendy Award’ and AFI nomination.  

The work is created entirely from the unassuming medium of cardboard and glue. To say he pushes the medium to its limits is an understatement.  His industrial imaginings are meticulously executed, forming delicate, alluring and often hypnotically complex sculptures. A process he describes as ‘sketching with cardboard’, as they are created intuitively by hand without detailed plans or drawings.

 His work has been described as architectural in form, whimsical in nature and inconceivably intricate

Wafaa Bilal - The Ashes Series

Wafaa Bilal's Website HERE

Exert from his website on the series:

The Ashes Series depicts the suffering of war not through human displays of emotion, but rather through the absence of human life in once occupied homes. It investigates the impact of the destruction of these private, domestic spaces in war and media images of such destruction. These intimate spaces are literally ripped open and become public through external violence and the act of destruction. The images exist in the aftermath of atrocity, with the presence of the human spirit represented only by the monochromatic whiteness of the ashes. These images also serve as mirrors to my desire to return home to Iraq when this is not possible, as well as to explore the duality of my life as a former Iraqi refugee and as an Arab American between two clashing worlds. Reconstructing the destroyed spaces provides a way for me to exist within them and, in a sense, to rebuild the places in Iraq where my brother and father were killed. As an artist I constantly negotiate between the expression of aesthetic pleasure, which is necessary to seduce the eye, and conveying the aesthetic pain of destruction. The Ashes Series represents my attempt to make sense of destruction and to preserve the moment of serenity after the dust has settled: to give the ephemeral moment extended life in a mix of beauty and violence.
