Dream Big


Artist and designer Pete Fecteau spent the better part of 2010 creating a mosaic of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. using 4,242 Rubik’s Cubes. The mosaic measures 18’6″ by 9’8″ and weighs approximately 1,000 pounds. This project called Dream Big.
“I woke up from the dream and it was like I was on fire. I spend three hours that morning writing down the concept and brainstorming. When I stepped back I realized how bat-s*** crazy it was but there was something pushing me to make it a reality. Sometimes I don’t think I woke up from that dream. It still seems crazy.”

'Pretty on the Inside' by KAWS & Erik Parker

MEGGS “Inner Demons” Exhibition @ Red Bull Studios Recap


We previously informed you about MEGGS’s upcoming “Inner Demons” exhibition at Red Bull Studios and, now, we have a full recap from the show’s opening. Exploring the role of demons – both mythical and metaphysical – the Australian artist displayed a wide array of sketches, paintings, sculptures and installation pieces all designed to evoke fear, discomfort and insecurity and, eventually, help viewers overcome these feelings. With paint dripping off of canvases and onto the walls and the presence of a quite literal “Inner Demon” sitting in an armchair in the studio, the exhibition is equal parts provocative art and show business glitz. Open now at Red Bull Studios in London.

Francoise Nielly Paintings 2011




French artist Francoise Nielly has released a new set of portraits that continue her colorful, emotive signature. A long-time favorite of TheCoolist, Nielly has produced a stunning collection of these bright, vivid portraits, capturing the faces of subjects the artist chooses personally. Nielly was herself chosen to design an art car for Citroen, one of the most stunning designs of 2010 that was revealed at the Le Mans Classic 2010. These seven portraits represent her latest work, a continuation of a style rising in acclaim in the world of fine art. [francoise-nielly]
