Artist Spotlight: Alex Chinneck

More incredible public artworks by British sculptor Alex Chinneck (previously featured here). “Six pins and half a dozen needles” creates the impression of a building being torn in half, while “Take my lighting but don’t steal my thunder” involves the illusion of one half of a building hovering over the other. See more images of torn and tearing structures below!
