This past week, Taras Lesko's papercraft version of the new Audi A7 went on display at the New York Auto Show. Just to put that into perspective, as you are wondering why that is so impressive, the paper Audi sits at 4 ft x 2 ft x 2, taking 245 hours and 285 pages to create the 750 inside parts.

The abstract work of L107, who is made up of Angelo Bramanti and Giuseppe Siracusa, is a examination on the use of recycled materials. Whether VHS tapes, vinyl records, the dup strives to use "any type of media without any discrimination between the various methods of expression: painting, sculpture, installation, graphic work that live togheter and often get in touch, mingle together."

Yosuke Ueno comes from Japan but might be from another planet. His themes are very cosmic and he's also known as SpaceEgg77. His palette of colors is otherworldly and his themes range from Anne Frank looking down on earth from the heavens to cosmic ducks and magic mushrooms. Bizarre, surreal and thought provoking, conjuring images from another galaxy are words that come to mind. A conversation after the jump . .  .

Generation after generation, youth have clung to the idealism and style of our recent history, kids born in the 90’s wearing band tees that they were clearly not alive to watch tour. It’s pretty clear this style has caught a hold of our society, surviving the fast paced movement of American culture. Frankly, if hipster vintage trending and high fashion is remaking and re-buying everything from the last 5 decades, we think it’s apparent this is a well-accepted and attractive style.

Japanese-born, Berlin-based Chiharu Shiota creates beautiful, and at times difficult, installations and full-on scenes. A lot of the work involves beds and other everyday objects. In one rather striking piece, she has taken hospital beds and arranged them to lift as if to the heavens. More after the jump . . .

Mexican artist, Saner, aka Edgar Flores, has two new prints, "Free Souls," released with London's Pictures On Walls, available in two color options. As POW notes, "[Saner's] obsession with masks apparently dates from childhood experiences taking part in traditional masked dances in Oaxaca." Big look after the jump . . .

This made our morning. A lot of people have sent these images to us over the past 24 hours, done by graffiti artist, Typoe. The piece, titled, "Confetti Death," was part of a larger series of really interesting conceptual pieces that Typoe created earlier this year. But this was the standout. More after the jump . . .
