What's a blast actually?

Don't think there is something related to Labor Day in this video full of Blast. I just expose it here because it suits pretty well with the title of our blog!

Zhang Haiying, Chinese painter

Posted by French Blast on 4/28/2009 04:50:00 PM 0 comments
Zhang was born in Beijing. He is a painter. His Anti-Vice Campaign series is based on images taken from the internet of women involved in the Chinese government’s crackdown on prostitution and pornography. However, in paintings shown at Art Beijing 2007, Zhang began to move away from the previous socio-political themes present in his work.
He graduated in 1997 from the Fine Arts Department of Shang Dong Academy of Fine Arts

Human Furniture Photography Exhibit by David Blázquez

Posted by French Blast on 4/26/2009 04:28:00 PM 0 comments
The following furnitures are not for sale! It's just an original idea appeared in David Blazquez's brain! He decided to take naked human body representing furnitures.
The result is pretty funny without being shocking or vulgar! I will let you think by yourself what is the meaning behind his artwork!

Make something cool everyday 2009

Does "Make something cool everyday in 2009" sound to you like a new year resolution? Yes, it's one but it is also Brock Davis' art project. Since January he had pretty clever and "cool" ideas every day (except for one day actually...)

Urban sketchers: another point of view of Singapore

Posted by French Blast on 4/06/2009 07:20:00 PM 0 comments
I have recently discovered this blog: Urban Sketchers, which is very beautiful. You'll find drawings of artists of main cities of the world. Singapore is well represented by Tia, who posted almost all drawing pertaining Singapore. Visiting Urban Sketchers you'll see Singapore as you have rarely seen it. Moreover I learnt some historical facts that I did not know about Singapore.



All the following sketches are from Tia:
