Shoplifter

Shoplifter

Shoplifter, aka Hrafnhildur Arnardottir is an artist from Iceland who works and explores the use and symbolic nature of hair. Vanity in a comical, silly, romantic, beautiful way is the main theme of her art. Her artwork makes me think and sheds light on how we use our hair as an essential feature to decorate and beautify ourselves, as well as our horses and pets (though they could care less about it).

Reclaimed Creations

Sayaka Ganz is a Japanese, Indiana-based artist. Her materials consist of reclaimed plastic and household items. She uses these materials to create sculptures of animals and capture their movements. They look windswept and as if they were emerging from the walls, slowly materializing.

Unmask

These sculptures were created by a group of three Beijing-based artists called Unmask. The intriguing horse and human figures appear to be melting and dissolving away right before our eyes. Stainless steel sculptures suddenly seem very light.
