]]>Bateman creates astonishingly detailed celebrity portraits with pebbles he finds in nature. He manages to capture the likeness of actors, musicians, and historical figures, in such a way that it is hard to believe you are just looking at a bunch of perfectly arranged stones.
To make this fascinating art, Bateman goes through a painstaking process that requires sourcing hundreds and sometimes thousands of pebbles in different colors and arranging them in a perfect sequence to display a recognizable image. He does this despite knowing that his creation won’t be intact for too long and will surrender itself to rain, wind, or tide.
“My nomadic existence would not be compromised by easels, oils, chisels, or any other equipment necessary for conventional processes. I could work anywhere, anytime and maintain consistent practice, even whilst on the road… as long as I could find stones,” Bateman shared in a recent interview with Forbes.

]]>The post Stuart Dunkel Creates Adorable Oil Paintings Featuring Chuckie the Mouse appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>The majority of Dunkel’s artistic output in the past decades revolved around creating adorable oil paintings featuring a small white mouse named Chuckie. The mouse usually interacts with food and toys or engages in mischievous adventures.
Dunkel, who has been engaged in visual arts since the 1990s, started painting Chuckie as a joke. His wife was scolding him about leaving crumbs in the kitchen, so he decided to turn it into a joke. He painted a mouse as part of the still painting he was working on and said it was actually the mouse who is creating all that mess.
After sharing laughs with his wife, Dunkel decided to submit the painting to a gallery show and immediately sold it. He began creating more mouse paintings and they became his calling card.
“The mouse series was really successful and people really responded to it. I’m very mischievous so the mice paintings are a good vehicle for who I am,” Dunkel said in an interview with The Avid Pen.

]]>Bauhaus remains influential in modern times, with its principles still being used in architecture, product design, and art. It also serves as an inspiration for artists, who are applying Bauhaus to their works in an unexpected way.
One of them is Australian artist Elisha, aka Bauhaus Your Haus. She creates artworks in which, as she puts it, “Bauhaus design meets pop culture.” These artworks use recognizable elements of Bauhaus design, including clean lines, bold colors, and simple geometric shapes.
Elisha’s art features depictions of celebrities, superheroes, and characters from movies, TV shows, and video games. The list includes retired sprinter Usain Bolt, Lieutenant Commander Data from Star Trek: Next Generation, the version of superhero Wolverine from the X-Men ’97 animated series, Heath Ledgers’ version of the villain Joker, Captain Horatio Magellan Crunch aka Cap’n Crunch, and many more.
Elisha shares her newest creations on social media and offers them as posters on her Etsy shop. You can check them out by scrolling below.

]]>In her artworks, Quiñonez captures places she has visited and seen before. However, she presents them in a fragmented way, omitting key elements and disguising familiarity with blurry and distorted elements.
The essence of Quiñonez’s approach is her goal of exploring the relationship of people with landscapes in the age of technology. Nowadays, we experience breathtaking sights mostly through screens, distorting our perception and resulting memories of them. Additionally, artists no longer need to go outdoors to create landscape paintings as they are just a few clicks away from accessing a photo of a landscape that shows it in perfect condition.
“I explore landscape, repetitive patterns in nature, traditional oil painting and the impact that new media, screens and technology have on us, changing how we perceive the world,” Quiñonez explains on her website. “As a result my paintings look like images edited on a computer. Absence, fragmentation and movement are characteristics of my work.”

]]>The post Stephan Schmitz’s Illustrations Will Make You Think Long and Hard About Modern Life appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>Schmitz’s artworks show everyday situations on a seemingly exaggerated scale that looks less outrageous the more you look at it.
For example, one of his illustrations shows a family sitting at a dinner table. But while the rest of the family is eating their meal, the father is shown converting half of it into a working desk and being fully focused on his job. This perfectly captures the modern work culture that sees people taking their work home and letting it consume them.
According to Schmitz, he aims to “surprise” the viewer with his works while making them think about a certain subject and encouraging them to figure out the message behind it.
“I think it is very satisfying for the person looking at the image to decipher the image and understand what the artist meant by it. Basically like understanding a joke or seeing a magic trick,” Schmitz shared in a recent chat with Bored Panda.

]]>Chen’s paintings prominently feature birds as main subjects, influenced by the artist’s love for nature and fascination with birds. Additionally, the birds represent “symbols of her personal stories.”
“Nature is pure magic, and I create work channeling that wonder, notably casting birds as the main characters who tell my stories,” she explained in a recent chat with Canvas Rebel. “Birds to me are so fascinating. They are a huge species in which every type of bird looks different and each performs their own way of life.”
Chen started her artistic journey more than two decades ago, working as an assistant to fine artists after leaving college and abandoning her goal of becoming an animator.
