You may have acclaimed sail boats impelled by wind but here designer Miguel Ángel Iranzo Sánchez from Spain offers you a hope to drive your sports car propelled by sun. Against ordinary sports car models that burn rubber down the road producing a gas-guzzling snarl, this one is different and peace loving. It features a hood sheltered with photo-voltaic cells that influence a stimulating engine attached to the stern motor. It maintains its niceties and special thanks to its spruce, backless structure and aerodynamic appeal that would have your hair pounding back in no time. Designer Sánchez disclosed that the idea was to make it look Mediterranean.

The potential design of the coupe is a direct invitation for manufacturers to flaunt their expertise.

The summers of New York City are becoming hot with the scorching art pieces displayed at The New Museum of Contemporary Arts. The latter these days, houses a  provocative and environmentally charged exhibition-”After Nature” show (named so after W.G. Sebald’s visionary book with the same title).

This exhibition displays the thoughtful and creative work of twenty-six multigenerational artists, filmmakers, writers and outsiders. Many of these workers are showcasing their work for the first time in an American museum. The exhibits are lined-up on the museum’s three floors.

The paintings from these distinguished artists draw their inspiration from heterogeneous sources. They seem to unfold before or eyes like a brilliantly written taut novel and with force capture our attention for their ‘raw’ appeal.

The press release sums it up as “a story of abandonment, regression, and rapture”. The paintings being an “epic of humanity coming apart under the pressure of obscure forces and not-so-distant environmental disasters”.

 This eco-feverish exhibition (organized by Massimiliano Gioni) is a must see for its communion of artists like Werner Herzog, Zoe Leonard, William Christenberry, Roberto Cuoghi, Erik van Lieshout, Diego Perrone, Thomas Schütte, Dana Schutz, Tino Sehgal, August Strindberg, Eugene Von Bruenchenhein, and Nathalie Djurberg to name a few.

Being experimental augments one’s creativity! Well, I m sure about this one because not many people like to experiment with their waste products esply. waste plastic bottles.

And those who do like Amy M. Young, they create marvelous eye-catching work! His stunning sculptures are drawing crowds because they happen to be churned out of useless plastic bottles which are otherwise a nuisance of a waste (because of their non-biodegradability!).

Besides the giant sphere and Zen-temple, the whole animal kingdom seems to have come alive with chameleon, elephant, fish or lobster!

Also the sculptures are a refreshing change because we have seen a lot of recycled newspaper stuff but plastic bottles were pretty ignored till Young laid his hands on them.

Readers I’m sure this fella, can be the Nek Chand of west!
