I Break The News

John Lopez , is a South Dakota-based sculptor with a love for all things wild, wild west ! Old metal, that other people throw away, he is using to create beautiful art. John's website describes, how he has ' found a way to merge two art forms into a new hybrid sculpture of everyday objects mixed with limited edition bronze castings'.  Lopez , who grew up on a ranch, was already a successful bronze sculptor, when he started experimenting with iron out of necessity. Influenced by his up-bringing he created these amazing life-sized sculptures. John has definitely made a name for himself in the art world, as his work is spread across the US.

If you can 3D-print a car, then you can certainly 3D-print an elephant ! But try creating such a sculpture, with a lace structure. This sounds tricky and it probably is! The concept for Animal Lace - 3D printed wall sculptures, came from the creative minds of Paris based artists Linlin and Pierre-Yves Jacques , two experts in the field of digital creation.    These wall sculptures, can be illuminated with compact lighting and showcase graphical shadows on their surroundings. The material they are made of, is 3D printed polyamide finished with a glossy white paint. Another great invention by the two digital creators, is a lamp that will cover your walls in lace: A Lace Lamp ! For more infos on their work, click HERE . (all artwork & photos © LPJacques.com )
