Korean sculptor, Seung Mo Park creates these incredible portraits by meticulously cutting layer after layer of wire mesh.

Japanese artist Haroshi, Huf, and DLX Distribution have been working on a project for the last 6 months which concluded with a collaborative exhibition in Los Angeles last weekend. Haraoshi used 200 skate decks in his signature style to create 6 new sculptures, all based around 6 specific skaters. The visual aesthetic and intricacy in his work is absolutely incredible, it took over 20,000 cubes just to create the fire hydrant. I also really appreciate how smooth and perfect some of his surfaces are, while leaving others raw and jagged. His work is seriously the dopest. Huf just released a Haroshi capsule collection as well, including, shirts, hats, decks, a shoe, hoodies, and wheels. You can grab them here...

'Currently on view at the Chatsworth House grounds in the UK is the annual Sotheby’s Beyond Limits sculpture exhibition.' Among some of the brilliant works display are a couple Damien Hirst pieces which he described as his continuation of interest between the relationship of science and religion. 'In a way science brings religion down to earth and to cut open mythical creatures and expose them as no different to mortal horses is somehow still magical. It's kind of like exploding a myth to make it real.'
