We recently became interested in art made from books after installing a sculpture by Nick Georgiou at a residence in Miami. The colorful and whimsical sculpture was perfect with the ocean backdrop.
Also we spotted our book Artistic Interiors; Designing with Fine Art Collections by Suzanne Lovell as part of a sculpture by Brian Dettmer. The work is currently on display at the Packer Schopf Gallery in Chicago in the exhibit ‘Brian Dettmer– Antisocial Media’. The exhibit runs through June 27 and we highly recommend it! Brian Dettmer is now also represented by P.P.O.W. in New York.
Finally, we love the compositions created by Guy Laramée.
