Hew Locke created this 'Liverpool Coat of Arms' on a wall in the Bluecoat art gallery. Armed with a hot glue gun and 1000 glue sticks, Locke and some of his technicians projected his initial sketch onto the blank white wall. He used black upholstery chord to create the lines.
This guy, in my opinion, is one of the best painters on the planet. When you compare his dedication and skill to most of the modern and contemporary artists of today, they don't have a patch on him. Soak it all in....ahhhhh.

Zingerle has created blow up dolls entirely out of cement. These sculptures have really interested me, as the cement looks soft and like suede. The way the blow up doll's material has set, as though it has been scrunched up and folded, makes the cement look like a totally different material. Love them!
