Art is everywhere around us. Today humans are limited by almost nothing in their expression of world vision. Here is a selection of unusual sudden works. However the selection’ list is very subjective and if you know other worth works and authors, you’re welcome to comment!

Chaikaia Booker currently works and resides in New York City. She creates a wearable sculpture in response to the materials which she uses in her current work. Booker began to create work from discarded materials which she found at conduction sites. These found materials each had its own purpose, history, and use which she finds interesting. This search for discarded materials brings us to the “rubber tire” from which her most notorious work is created.
Chakaia Booker began working with rubber tires in the early 1990’s and presently continues to work in this medium. The rubber and tires were transformed into fluid materials giving them a new life and energy. The tires represented metaphors which satisfied aesthetic, political, and economic concerns. ![]()
Korean artist Choi Jung Hyun who currently resides in New Zealand made this viper sculpture out of keyboard keys for a gallery show – it’s meant to promote awareness of recycling. And snakes.

Initially a painter, British artist Margaret Benyon began to make holograms in 1968 when holography was available only to scientists. Her aim was to take holography out of the science lab, and to enlarge the boundaries of what was traditionally seen as fine art. Margaret Benyon made most of her holograms in her home studio on the south coast of England for 23 years. This was a basic, low-tech, non-commercial holographic studio, one of very few in existence. However, she also used more sophisticated international labs, and in 2005 moved to Sydney, Australia. She is currently an honorary Professorial Visiting Fellow at the College ofFine Art at the University of New South Wales, and continues to work internationally from Australia.
This brings weird to a whole new level. Thai Fine Art student and artist Kittiwat Unarrom is the son of a baker. All that baking exposure growing up has been a clear influence, but his artistic need to see things a little differently definitely flared up as he created the tacitly named “Body Bakery” – brutally, gruesomely, almost unbelievably realistic looking sculptures of dismembered human body parts sculpted entirely from bread.
I’m vacillating between being incredibly impressed at his (disturbingly authentic) sculptural skills and a desire to vomit. I’ve seen some hyper-realistic sculpture before, but, at the risk of becoming completely inarticulate… these really, really, really look like heads.

Jennifer Maestre is a South African-born, Massachusetts-based artist, known for her unique pencil sculptures. She derives most of her inspiration from the form and texture of the sea urchin. To make the pencil sculptures, Jennifer makes use of pencils, nails and stitching. She takes hundreds of pencils, cuts them into small 1-inch sections, drills a hole in each section, sharpens them all and sews them together.

I bet you heard about him! Julian Beever is an English, Belgium-based chalk artist who has been creating trompe-l’œil chalk drawings on pavement surfaces since the mid-1990s. His works are created using a projection called anamorphosis, and create the illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the correct angle.
Guido Daniele is an artist who lives and works in Milan, Italy. In 1990, he developed a body painting technique, and his work has been used in advertising images and commercials, as well as fashion events and exhibitions. Unfortunatly his works have short life. It’s enough to take a bath.

Nathan Sawaya is an artist who builds custom three-dimensional models and large-scale mosaics from popular everyday items and standard Lego toy bricks. And they’re not just recreations of objects, like a car or a building, but actual creative sculptures. His unique, one-of-a-kind art creations are commissioned by companies, charities, individuals, museums and galleries.

Italian artist Maurizio Savini creates amazingly detailed and slightly disturbing sculptures out of chewing gum and has exhibited throughout Europe. he enjoys using the gum as a medium due to the multiple senses engaged while chewing it, and also because it is a reminder of his youth and adolescence. ![]()
