These days, the creation of an incredible work of art is no longer confined to the traditional canvas. Perhaps most demonstrative of that fact is Polish artist Adam Martinakis. Receiving his degree in Interior Architecture, Decorative Arts, and Industrial Design from the Technological Educational Institute of Athens, Martinakis convenes his technical prowess and love for futuristic aesthetics to create art which he describes as a “mixture of post-fantasy futurism and abstract symbolism”.

Death affects everyone differently, and that truism might be most pronounced when comparing the works of a handful of artists–or even within a single one. Painted three years after his father’s own death, artist Andrew Wyeth shared his new, harshly muted, and ominously desolate worldview to the masses with “Christina’s World”. The work represented a marked shift in style for the painter, as if to suggest that the stable foundations for which he and polio-stricken subject Anna Christina Olson so desire are in reality unattainable.

The time to talk about the elephant in the room has ceased, at least to artist Kurt Perschke. It’s time to talk–or as Perschke hopes–wonder about the large red ball directly in your path. By the playful placing of an bold, exaggerated ball on every day street corners, Perschke hopes to tap into the part of our brain that ponders the unreasonable and beyond belief–a part of the mind that far too often grows dusty with age.

Says Perschke in his statement, “On the surface, the experience seems to be about the ball itself as an object, but the true power of the project is what it can create for those who experience it. It opens a doorway to imagine what if? As RedBall travels around the world people approach me on the street with excited suggestions about where to put it in their city. In that moment the person is not a spectator but a participant in the act of imagination. I have witnessed it across continents, diverse age spans, cultures, and languages, always issuing an invitation. That invitation to engage, to collectively imagine, is the true essence of the RedBall Project.”
