Chris Dorosz takes thousands of staples and arranges them onto a blank canvas pouring paint into each compartment, the result is a picture formed of pixellated pattern and colour. To appreciate fully the viewer needs to stand back to see the figures that begin to emerge. Patience and precision must be Dorosz’s thing when you see the intricate sculptures and installations he creates. Drops of paint are trapped within clear plastic rods and suspended on fine pieces of filament, the effect is quite something. Chris Dorosz is from San Franscisco, CA and graduated with an MFA from the Nova Scotia School of Art and Design. You can see more of his cool installations at chrisdorosz.com.

Appropriation is a strong theme in Nicholas Ballestros’ art, as he puts it “This technique of altering or appropriating images is not for a desired outcome other than showing the found material’s sheer ability to be bent.”. These images that have been laying dormant for years have been given a new lease of life by Nicholas with the creative and inspiring use of a scanner. He graduated from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, with a Bachelor of Arts and a Design minor. You can see more of his awesome work over on his Flickr Page.
