Monochromatic Castellani

Enrico Castellani's monochromatic paintings and sculptures are poetry in light and shade.

The walking man

Richard Long's land art is created by walking.  When he's not walking, he works with the indigenous materials he's collected while walking around the world.  His works are ubiquitous in Europe this summer.

Monroe's utopian architecture*

Another nice surprise I had during my recent visit to London was an unexpected sighting of Ian Monroe's work at Haunch of Venison.  Although I have seen his works in books and catalogues before, it was my first time seeing his large scale collage in real life.  Usually monochromatic or in highly contrasting colours, Monroe built his utopian architecture using adhesive vinyl on perspex or metals.
