Bennet Robot Works by Josh Rubin

Robot 0031-1

Meet Watts-- he's a 2 foot tall bucket of bolts made from old and new found parts. Watts can be found among many other robot sculptures at Bennett Robot Works. No, it's not yet another Social Networking site with a silly angle. It's the portfolio of Gordon Bennett, the artist inspired by Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy's visions of the Modern Age. Bennett creates these one-of-a-kind sculptures from parts found at the dump, on the street and among the seas of yard sales; so in addition to being cute, they're sustainable.

Proving himself as both a skilled craftsman...
Dufala Brothers: Trophy
I'd never heard of Steven and Billy Blaise Dufala, two brothers producing art together under the moniker Dufala Brothers, until yesterday when Amy Adams, director of Fleisher/Ollman Gallery in Philadelphia, sent me a couple of jaw-dropping images of their recent work. Now I'm contemplating a day trip to Philly just to see their installation. "Long Runner" (below) and "Special Air Mission 28000" (right), are both...
Liu Jianhua: Dream In Conflict

Widely known for his quirky ceramic sculptures, his exhibition Dream in Conflict has just been opened at the Galleria Continua in Italy and features Unreal Scene amongst other works bordering on the surreal.
