These Abstract Paintings Are Actually Made Of Quilled Canvas

The Pacific-Northwest-based artist duo Stallman (Jason Hallman and Stephen Stum) stands out in the art world by creating mesmerising sculptural paintings. They meticulously roll and glue painted pieces of canvas together to form intricate patterns that from the first glance look like abstract paintings.

This artwork draws spectators’ attention because of its varying shapes and hues that give it vibrant depth, each painting offering multiple ways to look at it.

The artists are partners not only in the studio but also in life. “We create together, one acting as the right side of the brain and the other the left,” says Stallman. “This union of dynamic minds dissolves the boundaries of what is possible turning ordinary into extraordinary.”

Artist Paints Realistic Portraits On His Hands And Stamps Them On Paper

Art in the palm of your hand? You got it! California-based artist, Russell Powell, paints celebrities’ faces on the palm of his hand. He then transfers them to paper, using his self-titled “hand-stamping” technique.

Russell adds intricate facial features and dramatic shading, which give his creations a spectacular, three-dimensional appearance. He works quickly enough to ensure the paint doesn’t dry before he puts palm to paper.

By adding his hand-print, Russell’s creations get a distinctive personal touch, and will always remain unique to him.
