The fifth London Tattoo Convention was held at Tobacco Dock, London. Over 200 body artists from different countries took part in the convention.

There is a huge amount of complementary entertainment and visual experiences to enjoy, including exhibitions, artistic events, live rock bands, burlesque performers from around the world, let alone a range of traditional East End themed bars, restaurants and food stalls. But the best part of attending can be seeing the visitors and their tattoos.

Made out of what looks like a bunch of kitchen utensils, this stainless steel skull sculpture, by Subodh Gupta, is one of the weirdest artworks I’ve seen recently. I’m sure it has some kind of meaning, but so far I haven’t been able to figure it out.

Raising awareness on the issue of global warming is not easy this days, but artists come up with all sorts of original ways to make the news.

Take Brazilian artists Nele Azevedo, who created 1,000 ice-sculptures and placed them on the steps of the Berlin Opera Hall, to melt. That’s a lot of work to watch melt away in one hot afternoon, but at least her message made the newspapers. And if one more person knows about the melting Arctic ice, than her effort was not in vain.

These are truly fascinating beautiful art work by Christopher Gilbert. See it for yourself.
