We have already showed you a little collection of photos with sculptures and installations created by Mark Jenkins. Now we have a very big collection of this artist’s works. You might have seen some of the works already but as they are very impressive we decided to add them in this post. 
They are colorful and funny, they talk on the screen, but sometimes they are made from unusual materials. Have you ever seen ice sculptures? I have, but it’s the first time I come across fairy tale heroes made from… real straw! I would love to have one of these straw “creatures” in my backyard!
This is a collection of great ice sculptures made by various artists. I love it, some are real masterpieces.

 The author of these sculptures is Mark Newman, born in America in 1962. He started to sculpt when he was 19 years old. Mark believes that his task is to inspire people with his works. He advises  The sculptures in these photos are truly amazing. What makes them even more amazing is that they are sculpted entirely out of butter. The artist must really be talented and the temperature of the room where the sculpture was created must have been critical.  Get mesmerized and puzzled by these wonderful pieces. Indulge in uncovering the secret meaning behind every piece of sculpture.  Those are real photos, they have not been photoshopped! Everything is actually hanging on wires. It’s a very nice work that required to its authors a lot of patience!  Harbin, north-eastern China, is hosting its 26th international ice and snow sculpture festival. This event is very unique and spectacular, especially during night with all the lights and colors. Massive buildings have been carved from ice like palaces, pagodas… and even a sphinx! Very amazing..  Not only snowmen can be made from snow. If you use your imagination and spend some of your time and of course if you have just a little bit of talent, you can create something incomparable. And this “incomparable” is waiting you in the following of the post.  Those amazing high detail works have been created by Allen and Patty Eckman. They make those sculpture with their own hand-made cast paper since 1988. Apparently, some works are so painstakingly detailed they can take many months to get complete! I love it!  These sculptures are the first from the 400 that are put on the seabed in the Caribbean, Mexico and they form the beginning of the largest underwater sculpture museum in the world to celebrate the region's Mayan history. The view is quite impressive!  It may look like nothing on the first pic but it’s only to not reveal yet how amazing this sand sculpture is! It’s really an impressive work, with so many details… Be sure to check this out, it's worth it!  Worker and Kolkhoz Woman is a 24.5 meter (78 feet) high sculpture made from stainless steel by Vera Mukhina for the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, and subsequently moved to Moscow. The worker holds aloft a hammer and the kolkhoz woman a sickle to form the hammer and sickle symbol. The sculpture was removed for restoration in the autumn of 2003 in preparations for Expo 2010. The restored statue uses a new pavilion as its pedestal, increasing its total height from 34.5 meters to 60 meters. It was reinstalled in Moscow few days ago. Take a look at this compilation of pictures, it’s interesting to see.  Those sculptures are made by Austrian Artist James Corbett, he creates them by using old car parts taken from scrap yards. Then he sells his creations for thousands of pounds! It’s really an amazing work, take a look!  My brain exploded. On the one hand, these photorealistic sculptures look a little scary, but in anyway they are mega cool. Most successful hyperrealistic sculptures were created by Ron Mueck, Evan Penny, Jamie Salmon, Duane Hanson, Sam Jinks and Adam Beane. We will take a look at their work after the jump. A must-see post ;)  It’s really an amazing type of work. If you are near the sculpture, it just looks like a pile of garbage, but if you are placed at the right angle and distance, then you see the masterpieces. It’s just amazing what you can do with garbage. All done by Bernard Pras, a French artist.  Mark Jenkins is a famous street artist, known for his street installations created from adhesive packing tape. He actively promotes the Scotch-culture around the world and even teaches the process of creating those unusual sculptures in his classes. You will see inside the post how he creates his sculptures - that’s not common…  It is a giant fiberglass shark embedded headfirst in the roof of a house. The shark is located at 2 New High Street, Headington, Oxford, England and first appeared on August 9 1986. The sculpture was created by the artist John Buckley and was erected on the 41st anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki. The sense of the sculpture is that in the modern world, no one can feel themselves safe at home as in a fortress.  Gabriel Dishaw specializes on ‘junk art’, meaning that all his sculptures are made from “discarded materials, as glass, scrap metal, plastic, and wood.” Hats off to these incredible sculptures and to the talent of Gabriel. Real nice piece of work!  Artist Luke Jerram has created some of the world’s deadliest viruses and bacteria in glass for his Viral Sculptures exhibition which will be held in London at The Smithfield Gallery, from the 22nd of September to the 3rd of October. He made those masterpieces with the help of virologists and scientific photographs and the help of a team of glassblowers. We often see pictures of viruses and bacteria in colors but they are actually transparent, so Luke Jerram created each virus and bacterium in its natural colorness state. Take a look at his impressive and very original work inside the post.  I’m usually indifferent to this activity - making things from a balloon. For me it is like clown stuff. But these ‘sculptures’ made by this artist impressed me a lot.  Stop for a while and discover the World of IZI!
