Some Twisted Sifter Art Links

Twisted Sifter is a site that posts a lot of art and photography about random and amazing things.  There always seems to be something new and interesting to look at.  Don't worry, there are tons of links to follow to find out more about what is shown in pretty much every article.  Here are a few of the links that are really worth sharing.

First is a gallery of 40 different fore-edge paintings, something that I had never heard of.  I know the edged of pages in books were commonly gilded, but I was not aware that some books even have paintings hidden in there when the pages are fanned.  It's really amazing stuff.  A piece of art, hidden where almost no one will see it.  Check it out for yourself: Twisted Sifter Fore-Edge Painting Gallery.

Is that not awesome?

Next is a gallery of Alex Seton's marble carvings of common clothes items.  These sculptures use marble, a very hard but beautiful rock, to represent soft materials such as cotton, denim, and more.  Twisted Sifter Marble Clothes.

No, this is not the Invisible Man.

Finally, here is a link to gallery showing Yang Yongliang's matte paintings evoking ancient Chinese art.  Personally, I think they would have been a lot cool if they were ink drawn and not photo manipulations, but they are still impressive nonetheless. Twisted Sifter Modernized Chinese Art.

Just some impossible mountains
