Las Fallas!
Every year in Valencia, Spain, is the festival of Las Fallas, a truly unique event found only in this one city, where parties fill the streets, fireworks fill the skies, and traditional costumes are worn with pride. Then there are the 350 plus magnificent sculptures dotted all around the city!
Neighborhood communities across Valencia create their own Falla, a sculpture made from wood and paper, with the aim of winning a prized title in various categories throughout the festival, based on theme, detail etc. They range in size (from people height to multi-story building height) and theme (from the natural world to the Moulin Rouge) and they are truly spectacular sights to behold, exquisitely detailed and full of clever charicatures and social commentary.
At the end of the festival, all of the Fallas are burned ceremoniously, so in order to see these wonderfully creative, and in some cases genuinely awe inspiring sculptures, book a trip to Valencia for Las Fallas 2013. It’s a festival like no other, and has to be seen to be believed.
A fantastic example of creative appropriation, Choi Jeong-Hwa’s work is a bold and captivating way to recycle and recontextualise the ordinary.
A beautiful and twisted painting mixing art nouveau with a great swirl of surrealism, whilst paying reference to collage and even story book imagery.

ART WE LIKE THIS WEEK: Christian Faur’s ”Crayon Art”’
How fantastic is this? The combination of so many different colours of crayon placed together to trick the human eye, making your brain put an image together that may not actually be there….do we really see what the artist intends us to see?
Love it!

Happy new year everyone! Here’s a fun piece of art to inject your new year with some creative juices. It’s called Twenty-four (Yellow Brick Road) by artist Agathe Snow, who is currently exhibiting at the Deutsche Guggenheim. It’s funky and colourful, mixing a quirky and urban aesthetic with the classic yellow brick road notion.
