The  Alien King sculpture  contains  over 4,000 unique parts including  pieces of a car, a boat, a   dishwasher, a motorbike, a television and  other recycled steel. Aliens   are vicious, primal, horrifying  creatures. They “live in a hive, follow a   queen to the death, and  simply hunt to survive.” The Alien King and  the  Predator stand over 7  1/2 feet tall.
Bryan  Berg builds his  sculptures from  playing cards. He has stacked cards  in the U.S., Canada,  across  Europe, and Asia. This Harvard trained  architect broke the  Guinness  World Record for the World’s Tallest  House of Freestanding  Playing  Cards in 1992 at the age of seventeen.  His latest record-holding   sculpture is over 25 feet tall.
Then  there’s really  creepy, strange  sculptures. These by Olivier De  Sagazan give voice to  the unspeakable.  One person’s art is another  person’s nightmare. His  disturbing  sculptures depict the perforation  of the body by a foreign  element,  weapons, and instruments of torture
In  Victoria, Australia,  there is a  sculpture at Mt Macedon Cemetery to  depict a wife’s eternal  love for  her husband. In 1930, this was  considered risqué. Yet when  Laurence  Matheson died, his wife  commissioned this sculpture as an  expression of  her undying love for  him.


In  Harbin, China,  massive ice  sculptures were illuminated from both the  inside and outside  at the  26th annual International Ice and Snow  Sculpture Festival. The  ice was  harvested from the frozen surface of  the Songhua River and then  turned  into large scale, temporary  sculptures.
Joe  Pogan makes animal  sculptures  from “found metal” objects. He hides  interesting objects in  his welded  art sculptures. Pogan stated, “The  stranger the piece of  metal the  better, since the end goal is an  eye-catching, fascinating  amalgamation  of metal with odd nooks and  crannies you can explore for  hours.”
Nathan  Sawaya creates  his sculptures  out of Lego bricks. These 3-dimensional  sculptures range  from  portraits, large scale replicas and smaller  scale Lego brick art.   Sawaya suggests a Lego project can be a big as  your imagination and your   wallet.

Scott  Weaver spent over  30 years  working on constructing San Francisco from  toothpicks. His  sculpture  took 3,000 hours, more than 100,000  toothpicks, and cases of  Elmer’s  glue to build his 9 foot tall city.  It has 15 feet of internal  tracks  to roll ping-pong balls starting at  various entrances and all  winding  their way to the bottom. Weaver  turned down a $40,000 offer from   Ripley’s Believe It or Not for his  rendition of downtown San Francisco.
Shi  Jinsong creates  razor-sharp baby  accessories. His stainless steel  sculptures are part of  his Na Zha Baby  Boutique exhibition. The  sadistic tricycle, cradle,  rocking horse,  stroller and walker are only  the sharp tip of his  artistic creations.
Sculptures  can be  thought provoking  but also manipulated in photography.  Photographer Marc  Da Cunha Lopes  presented a photo series titled SKLT.  The images are  three-dimensional  skeletons of massive creatures  within semi-industrial  abandoned  buildings. The work represents the  nature of archaeology  combined with  how we as humans leave our  landscapes “riddled with  skeletons of many  different sorts.”
Recycled  and repurposed  parts have  long been used for Steampunk style  sculptures. Star Wars  stormtrooper,  Boba Fett, and another alien were  spotted in the Al Jabber  gallery at  Dubai’s Mall of Emirates.
Scaring  people, it’s not  just for  Halloween. In fact, metal sculptures of  terminators and aliens  can be  found in numerous countries from tiny to  huge. The life-sized   terminator would either be a conversation  starter or scare your   neighbors. The Alien Queen sculpture weighs in  at about 1,200 pounds.   90% of this Alien comes from recycled  motorcycle parts. If you think   she’s frightening, you should meet her  mate.
Artificial  reefs are  disguised as  sculptures in the oceans. Jason de Caires  Taylor’s  underwater  sculptures literally come to life. In Grenada,  West Indies,  26  life-sized figures await divers to view them in their  underwater   playground. The Vicissitudes were cast from children with  diverse ethnic   backgrounds now living 14 feet below the surface.Copyright © 2012 tin tuc- tin tuc 24h- 24h- Tam su tham kin-Funny Cat Pictures.
