Driftwood Skulls by Josh Rubin
Hiroshi Kure is a Japanese sculptor with a passion for skulls and resin composites that look like natural materials. There is a lot of skull paraphernalia out there these days, but these rings are the most exciting I've seen so far. He has made them in silver as well as this resin composite, and has even enameled a few in pastel colors just for a little humor. Available at Odin, one of my favorite shops in NYC.
Even if you don't like skulls, check out his site. He has used the same resin material and texture to create other interesting objects including some funky aviator glasses (picture after the jump).

Picking up where H.R. Giger left off, Christopher Conte makes some pretty menacing bio-mechanical sculptures of robot insects and Terminator-esque skulls. It's nice to see the techno-goth flame still burning brightly....

Tongari-kun ( Mr. Pointy )
I wish I could say "I'm so over Takashi Murakami!" Commercialization makes the world go round, but hasn't he taken it too far? Maybe. Maybe-not. The fact of the matter is that I continue to be delighted by the things he does. Tongari-kun ( Mr. Pointy ) is a 28 foot sculpture installed at Rockefeller Center Plaza thru October 2004. The ability for his...

Ryota Kuwakubo
Ryota Kuwakubo is a Japanese artist and designer who's work fuses tech, function and aesthetic. The pieces are simple, but provocative and take the form of spaces, sculptures and jewlery. His portfolio site is pretty fantastic as well. via Joel at Gizmodo...

Jonathan Schipper: Irreversibility
With his high-concept mechanics, artist Jonathan Schipper's latest exhibition, "Irreversibility," is just as stunningly clever as the animatronic sculpture we watched him build a few years ago. Held at Brooklyn's Pierogi Gallery, the show is both a spectacle and showcase of recent sculptures and installations by Schipper, including "The Slow Inevitable Death of American Muscle," (pictured above) in which a live, head-on collision takes...

Adam McEwen: Switch and Bait
by Kelsey Keith Adam McEwen is irreverent, witty, and whip smart (like any British artist worth his salt) and "Switch and Bait," his latest show with veteran gallerist Nicole Klagsbrun, is no exception. The exhibition, which opened last week in an auxiliary space in New York's Chelsea district, was slyly promoted with a press release detailing the process of machined graphite.
