What do you see when you look up at the clouds? Artist Yang Yongliang’s series Heavenly City depicts a metropolis in the sky. He uses three elements to create these otherworldly, elongated landscapes: photography, digital manipulation, and composition.
The Shanghai native, who was originally trained in traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy, has adopted the classic art form of Shanshui (landscape painting) and has combined it with modern technology. He has originated a new form of Shanshui that, instead of cherishing a natural world, criticizes a world filled with cars and skyscrapers devoid of nature. If you look closely, you can even see that the land is made of barcodes and clothing brand logos. Heavenly City is Yongliang’s interpretation of globalization, urbanization, and the impact of consumerism in a modern world.
Flowers are indeed one of the most beautiful and complex structures found in nature, specifically designed to achieve the purpose of reproduction. This is a new series I have embarked on - exploded flowers which are images that show the radial symmetry of flowers, and also individual floral components. - Qi Wei
Wild Dog by Corinne A. Reid is one of this week’s reprinted tees.
"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."

Project idea: Take photos of water drops in front of maps of the world. They’ll create the illusion of tiny globes suspended in space!
