Playful Woven Sculptures by Mozart Guerra

Originally from Brazil, Mozart Guerra is a Paris-based artist who creates playful sculptures by weaving nylon thread over his life-like foam figures. Guerra takes advantage of the linear patterns of this chosen medium to cover his works with hypnotic spirals of contrasting colors. The highly textured pieces appeal to both the visual and tactile senses. In addition to his sculpture work, Guerra has a portfolio as a set designer for television, theater and cinema. Take a look at some of his work below.

David Altmejd’s unsettling mixed-media sculptures subvert and mutate the figurative, while exploring our relationship to science and mythology. With works like "L,oeil" (above), he uses a robust set of materials: expanded polystyrene, epoxy dough, fiberglass, resin, synthetic hair, quartz, Sharpie and pens, gold leaf, glass paint, and much more. Throughout these forms, Altmejd creates surreal embellishments with natural and unnatural emulations.
