Good art is not what it looks like, but what it does to us.

Interesting artist: Nils Nova

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Nils Nova's installations are designed to subvert our perception of time and our assumptions about space.

In his projetcs he mixes techniques like ink-jet prints on blueback-paper pasted on the wall, paintings on boards, photography, everyday objects or people.

I find his work fascinating... I´ve always been interested in works on the way we perceive the reality around us, and I especially like the way the artist shows this in his installations. They appear to be so clean and simple... and leave us thinking about so many complex ideas...
Lovely work! Here are some examples from his web site:

Oh! thanks for sharing these. They really give you an optical illusion. It took me a while to figure the third one out.

How easily the eyes are cheated. Gives the artist a possibility to become a magician :happy: Great post Henar!
