Zander is traveling through Surrey, Hampshire and Wales to “wrap” trees in white and tell a visual story about the relationship between the tree and horizon. The photos alone are stunning!

Sure, this looks like nothing more than a smoky photograph, but it’s actually a giant resin sculpture made from soot and created by Polish artist Olaf Brzeski. Things are indeed never as they seem.

Nathalie creates large-scale portraits with nothing more than strips of recycled tissue and tracing paper and pages from old books. The close up shots are just as mesmerizing as the portraits themselves. Insane talent!

James creates beautiful work by suspending himself in the air while he paints. His set-up is nothing short of dedicated, and the result? Check out this round-up of rooms featuring James Nares’ art. Gorgeous!
