Room XX by Miquel Barceló
This is a giant art installation in the UN’s palace of nations in geneva. It covers the roof (a full 4,600 square feet!) with multi-coloured stalactite forms. The scale of this is incredible, something I would definitely love to see in person. It transforms the room into a giant cave, making it seem as if the world is dripping down to the floor, incredible colours, incredible scale, incredible everything!

More Strange and Surreal Sea Anemones
Exploring Sea Anemones
More Sculptures by Bean Finneran
Bean Finneran's Colourful Sculptures
These are made from hundreds and hundreds of rolls of clay, and then painstakingly constructed. They remind me very much of birds nests and sea anemones. I think they are beautiful, they seem so delicate and fragile, and you can see the work and dedication that has gone into them. Because of their material and fragility, they are site specific and can never be moved.

More Tracy Melton Tree Ring Paintings
Tracy Melton Tree Ring Art
Tracy Melton creates these from reclaimed dead elm trees, then paints into them with bright, vibrant acrylic paint. I love how the natural and the artificial sync so well in these, it retains the natural qualities of the wood, while shocking bright colours catch your eye. Very beautiful and I would love to own some!
Videos of Jack Pavlik Sculptures
There is some lovely flowing motion going on here, very elegant. They are quite surreal I think, very noticable and eyecatching. There are some interesting and very unusual sounds created, they really do involve and interact with many of your senses.
Jack Pavlik Kinetic Sculptures
These have a lovely flowing form to them. I love the geometric shapes created, not just by the sculptures themselves, but by the shadows they cast on the background. I like this relationship between the work and its background, treating it like a canvas. I will definitely look out for more like this!
