The media is often criticized for showing violent and disturbing imagery. Movies, TV, video games, tabletop RPGs, comic books, and various other things have all gone through periods where they’re blamed for exposing children to dark and unsettling things. But as these fine art examples prove, violent and disturbing imagery is nothing new.
David Mach‘s incredible installations spill and pour into the spaces they inhabit with the fluidity of water and the compositional precision of a laser. Created out of discarded magazines and other found objects these larger than life installations take over entire buildings in every shape possible from immense columns to organic round piles of mass that pick up everything in its path.

This is the latest intricate crop circle to appear overnight in a British wheat field.
The mysterious pattern resembles the ancient Tibetan Buddhist symbol of an ‘endless knot’ – a complex loop of lines and circles used to illustrate the eternal flow of time.
The symbol has many meanings but because it has no beginning and no end many people who follow the religion say it represents the wisdom of Buddha.
Gal Weinstein, based in Tel Aviv, does some really cool sculptures. Burning tires, mosaic explosions, sputtering chimneys- this stuff is hard to ignore. Some people feel that we’re closer to the apocalypse now then we ever have been, whether it’s brought on by our own means or otherwise. Weinstein’s work often illustrates a sparse, unforgiving wasteland full of smoke and red brick. Even the sculptures that depict elements of life are disconnected, removed. Farm plots are reduced to tiny, green squares. The closest we get to humans are rows of stoic Foosball figures. But somehow there’s still hope in the artist’s work, which holds color and intrigue.
