Photographer Leila Jeffreys (previously) captures birds outside of their traditional context, taking various breeds into her studio to photograph without distraction. The simple portraits capture the elegance of each bird, bringing a new perspective to the brilliant colors and textures that belong to each cockatoo, dove, or other domestic or exotic species. The works appear as both an unbiased attempts at documenting a set of animals, and a warm depiction of the feathery subjects. Each gives a peek into the personality of the bird on view, with a few casting solemn expressions, and one cockatoo showcasing what appears to be a wry smile.
Jeffreys has an upcoming exhibition of her portraits titled Ornithurae Volume 1 at Olsen Gruin Gallery in New York City on October 13. The exhibition will run through November 12, 2017. You can see more of her photographs on her website and Instagram.
Italian artist Massimiliano Pelletti works within a variety of materials including marble, bronze, and stone to carve elegant busts and human forms that evoke echoes of ancient sculpture while infusing each piece with a contemporary twist. Among his more intriguing works are figures carved from white onyx, where the rough crystalline edges are left largely intact as a juxtaposition to smoothly carved faces. Embracing the imperfect elements of his chosen mediums appears to be one of Pelletti’s hallmarks, as he often accentuates or even highlights cracks or breaks in the rock.
Pelletti lives and works in Pietrasanta, Italy where he attended the Stagio Stagi Art School. You can follow more of his work on Instagram and Artsy.

Share a piece of your travels—a leaf, a newspaper clipping, a flower petal, a Sunday, 12 December 2010 Nobuhiro Nakanishi Work from Layer Drawings. “The theme of my work is “the physical that permeates into the art piece.” In a foggy landscape, we no longer see what we are usually able to see – the distance to the traffic light, the silhouette of the trees, the slope of the ground. Silhouettes, distance and horizontal sense all become vague. When we perceive this vagueness, the water inside the retina and skin dissolve outwardly toward the infinite space of the body surface. The landscape continues to flow, withholding us from grasping anything solid. By capturing spatial change and the infinite flow of time, I strive to produce art that creates movement between the artwork itself and the viewer’s experience of the artwork.” – Nobuhiro Nakanishi via Valentina Tanni.

Fukuoka, Japan-born artist Nobuhiro Nakanishi has created a mesmerizing series called Layered Drawings that we’d love to see in person. Nakanishi uses a laser print to mount his photos onto plexiglass acrylic. Though we could enjoy each slice on its own, taken together, they produce a magnificent effect. “The theme of my work is: the physical that permeates into the art piece,” he says. “In a foggy landscape, we no longer see what we are usually able to see – the distance to the traffic light, the silhouette of the trees, the slope of the ground. Silhouettes, distance and horizontal sense all become vague. When we perceive this vagueness, the water inside the retina and skin dissolve outwardly toward the infinite space of the body surface.

Nobuhiro Nakanishi is a Japanese born artist who has created, or you could say re-created, a truly stunning way of capturing and displaying some of nature’s most beautiful moments. These specific pieces are named Layered Drawings. Nakanishi uses a laser print to fix his photos onto plexiglass acrylic, giving the affect of having the image stuck onto glass and having the freedom of using the opacity of the material to play with the image. I believe the way in which Nobuhiro Nakanishi has displayed these images revitalises them and brings them to the viewer in such a new way its almost like nature itself and gives the feeling of seeing the moment in a new perspective and even immersive. Theres seems to be something really special about these images and it’s not just how they seem to effortlessly float in mid-air but the way in which it makes you take a second look at what he has actually captured.
