4. Chris Durosz’s 3D Suspended Portraits
“San Francisco-based artist Chris Dorosz creates 3D sculptural portraits with the use of paint and string,” says Copy Editor Kay-Anne Van Rooyen. “At first, the pieces appear to be abstract paintings, but when you take a closer look you start to see the shape of a human face appear in front of you.”
