Whether whimsical, surreal, disturbing, or thought-provoking, we at Hi-Fructose seek out art that indulges the imagination, invites new ways of thinking, and leaves an emotional impact. As 2014 draws to a close, we look back the top 10 most popular posts of the year. While the art that made the list is as varied as animated GIFs, ceramic sculpture, and hyperrealist painting, these diverse works share an emphasis on exceptional craftsmanship and novel, thought-provoking ideas. We thank you for reading our daily blog posts and quarterly print issues. We wish you a happy New Year and look forward to bringing you more great art in 2015.
