The abstract ceramics of US artist Jason Briggs – porcelain, hair and steel sculptures with unlikely titles like ‘Angel’, ‘Blossom’ and ‘Baby’ grotesquely redolent of everything from sexual organs to cysts. Interpret them however you like, sez he:

…sculpture, fine art, fine craft, ceramic sculpture, figurative, abstract, surrealism, eroticism, non-traditional, biological, fucked-up, pornographic or, worst of all, decorative.

Lovely Christmas presents, in fairness.

Artist Stan Herd works in the medium of fields – using swathes of farmland as the canvases for his original compositions and interpretations of historical art.

His latest work, outside Minneapolis, is a 1.2 acre representation of Vincent Van Gogh’s 1889 Painting “Olive Trees”, commissioned by the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Visible to passengers aboard planes landing and taking off from the nearby airport, took weeks of mowing, planting and earthscaping to create.
