Art Nouveau's organic shapes surfaced thanks to some underwater inspiration.
What do you see when looking at an unused fork, a screw, a car part, and other scraps? Most of us see something that belongs in a dump, except for Brian Mock, a sculptor and a metal revolutionist who is bringing reclaimed materials back to life in a form of spectacular sculpture art.

Who was this mythical storyteller? A singing bard-poet, (aoidoi)-dramatically orating the epic tales for aristocratic banquets or bawdy taverns? A collective of poets-refining their work over generations? Was Homer a man or a woman? The unfortunate truth is, we just don’t know. Homer is thought to have existed around 800-700 B.C. and is credited as the creator and poet of the epics; “The Iliad” (15,693 lines) and “The Odyssey” (12,109 lines). Homer existed during a time when Linear B had been lost, or the Greek “dark ages.” So the poets of this time sung their tales in song-like structures, passing the oral art form down form generation to generation. Therefore, its unlikely Homer made up these tales, but inherited and refined them from older tales that had been passed down in the oral tradition. To complicate things further, Between the epics, there are variations in narrative style, vocabulary, and geographic expertise, which lead many scholars speculate that The Iliad and Odyssey were written by different authors. Unfortunately, there are no biographical details within the epics to give us insight into the author(s). However, In the Odyssey, there is a blind bard poet character, Demodocus, who recites his poetry to the royal court. Some have suggested that this character was created by Homer as a reflection of himself. This is a fun and tempting parallel to draw. Similar to how we might get the reflection of Shakespeare’s voice through Hamlet when the prince describes to his players the philosophies of theatre acting. The portrayal of a blind poet also creates a nice symbolic parallel to the Norse God Odin, who, sacrificed an eye in exchange for divine wisdom. Indeed, the Greek bards saw themselves as divinely inspired by “the Muses”; the inspirational goddesses of the creative arts. Through Homer, the elegant oral form crafted these classics, and, incredibly, we can still hear the song like syntax and repetitions in the texts.

About The Artwork When I am walking around in the nature, by investigating my path and my creativity, there is suddenly a spark that catches my eyes, that I can reflect to its shapes, texture, and colors. this starts a creative process in me. Then I will search for a female figure with a unique mysterious look, which can be best for me to draw and to paint, so all together can be reflect out of this process. After the digital process I start a process that is more traditional, by using acrylic, ink, graphite, color pencil, aerosol paints, and whatever that is necessary for the final result. Then put an over varnish laqa to protect as necessary. My art is integrating the beauties of the nature with a mysterious femininity that wraps it.

Ernst Haeckel was a turn of the century German biologist that changed the world with his scientific illustrations. Trained in many scientific fields, he not only named multitudes of species, he illustrated them as well. Wikipedia describes him as" an eminent German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species". Kunstformen der Natur, "Artforms of Nature" is the book of his intricate illustrations. Haeckel's illustrations of invertebrates influence the design world even today. This is a classic Finish 1960's Eero Aarnio mushroom lounge chair. Even basic shapes are mimicked in design. These military insignia are a perfect example of the influence of nature. Haeckel's work, as a design element, is still fresh... These drawings provide endless kaleidoscopic combinations of design. It is easy to see how rosettes and baroque scrollwork are based in the nature that Ernst Haeckel illustrated for us. Haeckel's illustrations can be found in his original book form or through reprinted copies.
French 3D artist Jean-Michel Bihorel has been rendering films for the past 6 years, while also keeping up with personal projects that utilize the same professional tools. In his latest works, he has produced two digital sculptures of the female form composed of a sample of dry flowers. In the first work the body is completely shaped from the floral sample, the woman shown in different poses that demonstrate her whole form. The second rendered figure is focused on just the torso, and has a cracking marble skin that reveals flowers inside. More

Over the last year, Polish designer and illustrator Janusz Jurek has been exploring different forms of generative illustration as it relates to the human form. Some of my favorites are collected into a series title Papilarnie where bundled lines that look like lightning or roadways on maps converge into 3D arms, feet, and other incomplete bodies. You can see more of his generative illustration work over on Behance. More

Classic Christian Dior - 1947 Convergence of fashion and sculpture Most famous fashion designers interact with art and reflect trends through their designs. The modernist curved art forms and abstract lines of the 40's, 50's and 60's could be clearly recognized in the avant-garde and Space Age designs of Pierre Cardin, as witnessed in his trapeze coats, bubble dresses, hat-sculptures and asymmetrical collars. Designers of this era adapted minimalist art forms with sleek, definitive lines to express striking chic styles which were aptly supported by the refined aesthetic of the models and photographers at that time.

Delve into the serene beauty of the Scottish coast with this exquisite print, encapsulating the mystical charm of Achmelvich Beach's tidal zones. The piece exudes the elegance of Art Nouveau, a style renowned for its ornate lines and natural forms, which are flawlessly integrated into this depiction of Bladderwrack seaweed—a marine plant that not only thrives in the intertidal stretch but also manifests the very essence of Scotland's aquatic flora. In this artwork, the rich tapestry of the sea comes alive through a dazzling palette of greens, blues, and yellows, intermingled harmoniously to portray the dance of the Bladderwrack's elongated fronds and air-filled bladders against the swirling patterns of water. The meticulous attention to detail in the rendering of the seaweed's intricate textures and shapes invites the viewer to a closer inspection, whilst the stylised rock formations framing the scene provide a stark, grounding contrast to the fluid marine life. The interplay of colour and form culminates in a vista that is not just a mere representation, but a vivid, intimate exploration of the Scottish shores. By bringing this print into your space, not only do you honour the rich biodiversity of the Scottish seascape, but you also invite an artful melding of nature and design to grace your surroundings. This piece from our 'Scottish Flowers and Flora' collection is an evocative homage to the untamed beauty of nature, creating an atmosphere of both tranquillity and wonder wherever it is displayed.
