Father Magnus Wenninger

A retired Benedictine monk, Father Wenninger is “a pioneer in the mathematical art community, whose models of polyhedra have inspired a new generation of mathematical artists”.

You can actually order some of his polyhedra, however there’s no guarantee that they’ll be exactly what you want, as they all vary. I was very surprised by this site, and found it very endearing to see him tenderly holding his polyhedra. I love polyhedra as well, so I just had to post about Father Wenniger’s beautiful work.

Lladro & Committee collaboration

My alternative title for this article was : “Lladro: Not Your Grandma’s Porcelain Anymore.”

So in my mind Lladro has always been associated with old ladies who collect these softly hued pastel statuettes of ceramic ballerinas, girls holding balloons, art nouveau-esque ladies walking poodles, etc. Lladro has wised up. They’re now hiring designers to do limited edition collections for them, some of which are lovely. Committee, out of London, has teemed up with Lladro for their latest collection called Evolution of Love. Also check out here for more of their collaborative pieces with other artists.

Florentijn Hofman

Florentijn Hofman’sCanard de Bain” (aka “Rubber Duckie“) floating on the Loire river recently received a lot of attention (for good reason). Looking through his site, I found a few other installations which I was especially fond of.
