Sculptires (or Sculptyres, if you're British)

Wow! Check out these amazing sculptures made from rubber tires by Korean artist Ji Yong Ho. If you click on the images below, it will take you a gallery of photos.





Thanks to Dale McGladdery for Twittering about these!

I love how in the second photo, the girl's expression is of utter boredom and disregard for the art around her as she chats on her phone.

That;s wonderful art!

Josh: Her expression is so perfect, I actually wondered if it had been staged!

Bernita: The artist says rubber mimics flesh and muscle, and I completely agree with him. His sculptures look so organic.

That is spectacular. Wow. So many artists doing amazing things out there.

Sarah: I wish stuff like this was easier to find. I know you're familiar with Vancouver--we have this yearly competition where a variety of modern sculptures get installed around the city for the summer.

Occasionally, I see something I like, but usually not. Stuff like this, however? I would adore having in my neighbourhood.
