The Extraordinary Wooden Sanded Sculptures of Cha Jongrye
Cha Jongrye’s work is the process of encountering ‘another I,’ not the familiar self. It is also the process of looking for what the Buddha called the ‘true I,’ as well as the ultimate goal of her art. This self-composed artist flatly refuses to apply any external force on her art, but chooses to understand, Cha Jongrye perceives, and finds herself, by actively moving her body and soul of her own free, voluntary will. – Tcheon-nahm PARK

Annual Parade in the Netherlands Pays Homage to Vincent van Gogh with Massive Flower Floats
The Coro Zundert parade in the Netherlands celebrates the country’s reputation as a global supplier of dahlia flowers since 1936. This year 19 teams payed homage and drew inspiration from the work of Vincent van Gogh. The flowery floats are filled with imagery, colors and expressions from van Gogh’s signature style. The floats are now a mixture of tradition and urban art, which are a beautiful spectacle to attend yearly.

Serpent d'Océan - Huang Yong Ping
A gigantic aluminum serpent was completed in 2012 by artist Huang Yong Ping. It lays along the shore of the Loire River near Nantes, France. It is nearly 425 feet and mirrors the curves of the Saint Nazaire bridge nearby.
Huang Yong Ping (Chinese: 黄永砯; born 1954) is a French contemporary artist and one of the most famous Chinese Avant-garde artists. Born in Xiamen, he was recognized as the most controversial and provocative artist of the Chinese art scene in the 1980s.[1]
Huang was one of the first artists to consider that art was a strategy.[1] He was a self-taught student educating himself under three well-known men. Joseph Beuys well known German artist and art theorist, John Cage an American music theorist and philosopher, and Marcel Duchamp a French artist that’s associated with Dadaist and Surrealist. He then graduated in 1982 from CAFA in Hangzhoue. In 1986 he formed Xiamen Dada. Huang Yong Ping has four periods associated with himself, anti-artistic affectation (fan jiaoshi zhuyi), anti-self-expression (fan ziwo biaoxian he xingshi zhuyi), anti-art (fan yishu), and anti-history (fanyishushi). In 1989 at the age of 35 Huang Yong Ping went to Paris for the Magiciens de la terre exhibit. He then ended up immigrating to France and living there ever since. Many of his pieces today are on a large scale, making them not auction-compatible.
Huang Yong Ping represented France at the 1999 Venice Biennale.
