Gorgeous sculptures that uses mirrors to force nature into interrupting itself. I see tons of art on Flickr sites that do the same thing but with Photoshop and Googled nature images, (don’t get me wrong, I like those too) but this the real thing! I can’t find very much information on the artist duo- I’m assuming they were husband and wife or something… Wiki search rewarded me this: Francisco Infante-Arana formed an artists’ collective known as the Movement Group & continues to be one of the premier Russian avant-garde artists. “Nonna Gorunova” yielded me results only in the context of Francisco. It would be great if any of you readers can shed more light on them! You can find more of their work on this LiveJournal photo community.
Cool stuff! Recalls Robert Smithson of course, and some other stuff. I know what you’re saying though about the google/photoshop trend that’s making the rounds…. Cool to see someone keeping it REAL. Olafur Eliasson is also doing similar work –chchcheck it out.
Veryyyy niiiice!
I didn’t know that Robert Smithson was Robert Smithson- meaning I never matched up the name + the work. Is that a art blogger faux pas??
impressive.

[...] Who is the biggest influence on your work and why? I couldn’t pinpoint one particular artist or designer that significantly influences me. I think our culture is somewhat overwhelmed with imagery and therefore it’s sometimes nice to take a step back and try to be influenced by something quieter, more poetic. I think that’s how I’d describe my most recent video work ‘Mirrored’, which works due to its simple observations. I did, however, look into the work of fine artists for inspiration such as Anish Kapoor, Robert Smithson, Francisco Infante-Arana and Nonna Gorunova. [...]
