Recently discovered artists


Jason de Caires Taylor
http://www.underwatersculpture.com
-underwater installations, artificial reef, sculptures with natural patina



Wim Delvoye
http://www.wimdelvoye.be

-shit machine, tattooed pigs, Gothic chapels made of metal and x-rays, etc.


These are two of the artists I have recently discovered and likes, mostly through their ingenuity in the use of materials and concepts. Though, in general, conceptual art is dull to me unless the result still resembles art and does need a lot of written explanation to make sense or please.
