Rogan Brown is an Anglo-Irish artist that specializes in intricate hand cut paper art sculptures. Currently living in the ‘wilds’ (i.e., in a forest on the side of a mountain) of Southern France, Brown explains:

“I look for patterns and repeated motifs that run through natural phenomena at different scales, from the microscopic to the macroscopic, from individual cells to large scale geological formations.

I am inspired in part by the tradition of scientific drawing and model making, and particularly the work of artist-scientists such as Ernst Haeckel. But although my approach involves careful observation and detailed “scientific” preparatory drawings these are always superseded by the work of the imagination; everything has to be refracted through the prism of the imagination, estranged and in some way transformed.

I want to communicate my fascination with the immense complexity and intricacy of natural forms and this is why the process behind my work is so important. Each sculpture is hugely time consuming and labour-intensive and this work is an essential element not only in the construction but also in the meaning of each piece. The finished artifact is really only the ghostly fossilized vestige of this slow, long process of realisation. I have chosen paper as a medium because it captures perfectly that mixture of delicacy and durability that for me characterizes the natural world.”

A splash of color, a burst of wonder and loads and loads of raw artistic talent. In a few ways, it will be weird to say that all those three things are exactly what you’ll find on some walls. (I stand corrected, maybe it is more befitting to say that it’s the artist that have that loads and loads of talent.)

Since time immemorial, artists have been painting walls. From fresco to secco, from realism to abstract representation and now to urban styled graffiti, painting indeed leaves its wonderful imprint upon those who are able to see them. For today, we’re showcasing some of the best wall graphics on the web. You can use these as inspiration in designing for both the web and for print, and of course, for decorating interiors.

We hope you enjoy this showcase of 45 beautiful wall art ideas. Feel free to share your discovery or a link to your own work below. Have fun!

kouichi okamoto of kyouei design has created 'magnetic field record', a hanging device suspended from a ceiling whose spinning motion artfully records the pull of gravity and magnetism. signature to okamoto's style, dripping liquid is the medium by which the artwork takes its shape. the mobile, iron apparatus contains a magnet at its core and an intravenous drip-like container that holds black chinese ink. as the liquid in the container recedes, its weight changes and shifts the balance of the entire mechanism. because the equilibrium of the spinning device is altered, the lines and splatters generated by the ink drops change in intensity, value, and density. the resulting impression is an organically shaped graphic that is left on a sheet of japanese paper.

viennese artist alex kiessling and strukt design studio will embark on a cross-border project that merges art and technology by using industrial robots to simultaneously create large-scale drawings in three european cities. taking place at an event hosted by the vienna tourist board on september 26th, 2013, 'long distance art' will feed real-time tracking via satellite to the two remote robotic devices, one stationed in berlin, at breitscheidplatz, and the other in london, at trafalgar square, and will mirror kiessling’s movements in real time. the project calls on the use of a prototyping program called vvvv, which facilitates the handling of large media environments with physical interfaces, real-time motion graphics, and audio and video that can interact with many users at the same time. once completed, kiessling will take all three independent artworks from the various cities and join them together in a triptych. to see a version of the robot in action, watch the video below:
