This site has a great many kinds of art everyday! Some days may be oil paintings from the 1500s or street art from today. It may also have videos or tutorials. I will also link sites to artist's websites if they have them. But the most important part of this cite is to enjoy and interact with the art which is presented.

Li Hongbo

(It’s awesome today peeps!)
Perhaps some of you have seen this is a video already. It is done by the Beijing artist Li Hongbo. This particular one is just named “Girl.”

Today’s piece at first looks like carved porcelain but it actually is thousands of layers of paper glued together.

I just …. WOW. The technique used is similar to the one used when making paper gourds (those things that can be stored flat but then when opened can be a flower or other shape in 3D). Just imagine the time put into this …. And the crazy part, this won’t be able to last as long as say, a painting. These are very beautiful, very creative and just overall wow.

And here is a video from the Dominik Mersch Gallery that gives a little more background information on the artist and sculpture. Plus, you get to see some of them in action:
