Artist Uses Ordinary Drywall to Create Beautiful Wall Sculptures
Sometimes the mark of a true creative is their ability to make use of any medium to generate eye-catching artwork. Bernie Mitchell puts his unique brand of creativity to work as he constructs artistic murals out of nothing but drywall. The Canadian contractor currently lives and operates out of Ontario, drawing inspiration for his fantastic drywall creations from the beautiful natural surroundings of his country. Mitchell infuses a love of nature and animals into his work, transforming the walls of his clients into works of art.
For Mitchell, this line of work started off simply enough—he was first a professional drywall finisher before he began to experiment on the raised surfaces, making use of wheat and barley stalks and pieces of leather to fabricate intricate carvings. Today, Mitchell continues to offer his talents as a contractor but also has an unmatched affinity for creating speciality pieces. His preferred subjects are birds, and his subtle carvings bring a certain element of flair to an otherwise dull section of wall.Check out the video, above, to see Mitchell sculpt an elegant scene of a wolf mother and pup.

Installation Art by Antony Gormley
Antony Gormley is one of Britain’s most important contemporary sculptors, and installations of his work have taken place all over the world. In the 1980s, he pioneered the concept of casting the body in a variety of poses to evoke universal ideas relating to the human condition—a subject that remains a major theme in his work today.
“Field” is an Antony Gormley installation of 35k clay figures made by a family of Mexican brick-makers. Gormley asked that the figures be easy to hold in one hand and that the head and body be in proportion to one another. Approximately sixty members of the extended family (men, women and children) made these small figures, no more than 26 cm in height from about 25 tons of clay. Field resembles a tidal wave of miniature terracotta sleepwalkers, limited only by the walls that contain them.

The Captivating Women of Graf n’Arq
The artist known as Graf n’Arq is from Uruqay. There is little information available about him online. His portraits of women are meticulously detailed. The most stunning detail about his work art the eyes - on some of his pieces it is difficult to look away from their amazing eyes. Some of his work is quite explicit. You can see more of Graf n’Arq’s work on Tumblr. Thanks to camota.com.
