Amazing art by Xia Xiao Wan
Mikey 34 comments
With so many people are pushing the boundaries of digital art, it's refreshing to see the hands on approach has not been lost.
Take these astonishing images created by using several layers of glass. The Giger-ish artwork beautifully compliments this particular glass medium.
I would love to see them in real life. Incidentally, the artist is Xia Xiao Wan, and you can see more of and purchase his art at Artnet.com.
Thanks to Kim OJ for pointing me in the right direction.

Friday 15th February 2008 | 07:16 AMAs amazing as these are, and certainly deserving of my respect.
I must say they're scary as hell.
Dear rebs, pissed off and artisto,
At the time I had posted this, the link to the source article actually worked. I see now that the source is now dead for what ever reason. The source never made mention of the original artist (and neither did the others I found) except that it was reported to be by an 'unknown Russian artist' or something along those lines. Further research turned up nothing.
But not knowing the artist's name won't stop me from advertising photos of his/her incredible art.
If you know who the artist is then please advise as I will gladly give them credit, as I have done with other articles on this site that display art. But by the sounds of it, you don't know who the artist is either. But you are glad you have seen it now - right?

the comment board here is a prime example of why i dont normally read them.
Thanks Kim. I have credited the artist and linked to a site if anyone wants to purchase his work.
Really great work- I agree with the person who mentioned Photoshop layers- it's really putting those layers to work in the physical!

Wednesday 5th March 2008 | 12:58 AMI like this. And it appears that credit was given to the artists.
Those who feel like posting ignorant, pseudo-intellectual comments apparently have nothing better to do than argue on the internet.
Good post!

Saturday 7th April 2007 | 09:42 AMI wonder what goes on in the minds of these artists. Scary stuff.
