The Anamorphic Sculptures of Thomas Medicus

The illusionary works of Thomas Medicus include "What It Is Like to Be," an anamorphic sculpture consisting of 144 hand-painted strips of glass that reveal new images when turned. Each of the strips were painted separate from another, and specifically, the new images are revealed when the piece is turned 90 degrees.

Medicus is known for his anamorphic work, but he’s also worked in stained glass, digital art, animation, public sculpture, and other fields. His site offers more of his background: “He studied social work at MCI Innsbruck before attending the Glasfachschule Kramsach, a school for glass art. His studio is located at the long-standing firm for stained glass windows Tiroler Glasmalerei where he is also employed as master glazier.”

Jonny Green’s Still Life Paintings Add Character to Inanimate Objects

Jonny Green's oil paintings of haphazardly-made sculptures are part portrait, part still life. The UK based painter, who lives and works in London, describes his work as a combination of the "carefree and painstaking", images of crudely built subjects made of a strange selection of items- modelling clay, office tape, flowers, Christmas lights, and whatever else is immediately available to him- which he then renders in incredibly meticulous detail.

Yong Ho Ji’s Haunting Mutant Sculptures Made From Recycled Tires

Korean artist Yong Ho Ji creates animal/human hybrids made out of recycled tires. Ji calls his variations "mutants" in order to refer to both their hybrid forms and their recycled medium. “My concept is mutation,” Ji says, “the end product is technically from nature; it is made from the white sap of latex trees but here it has changed. The color is black and the look is scary."

The Hyperrealistic Sculptures of Marc Sijan

Marc Sijan's hyperrealistic figurative sculptures are both unsettling and vulnerable. The artist often depicts everyday people, from blue-collar workers and public servants to characters in their most vulnerable moments. And at times, works like "Birth" take on a more conceptual role.

Wookjae Maeng’s Ceramic Animal Hybrids

Korean ceramics artist Maeng Wookjae creates strange animals and figures that feel both familiar, yet disconcertingly outside the realm of reality. Yet, the artist’s work may be more tethered to our own world than one would imagine. In a statement, he details his thought process in engaging with the viewer, saying one “not only intellectually comprehends the work but also viscerally appreciates it if their preconceptions are challenged or senses other than sight are stimulated.”
