]]>A Washington native, Voelker’s formal education includes the University of Washington and the Atelier Program at Gage Academy of Art; but according to Voelker, the real evolution has happened over 20 something years in the studio.
Indeed, there’s a great deal of experimentation in his work. Each piece begins with several charcoal drawings on paper. The material found in each collage comes from these drawings, which are sliced up and reassembled in a new way. This process of cutting and assembling is very much intuitive, with no plan or sketch beforehand.
“I’m interested in manipulating the relationship of tone, line and shape in my work,” writes Voelker on his website. “I create depth and form new connections through the collage process, which oscillates between quick improvisational moves and carefully planned revisions.”
The end result contains many layers and often hides within it faces and figures (look closely and you might just decipher them). Though his work is abstract, it tends to echo the world around him.
“I’m inspired by graffiti, urban decay, and music,” says Voelker. “I experiment with my source material and media to push the edges in the creation of my work. I feel like my job is to pull something out of nothing and convey it to the world.” Still, the final piece is open to interpretation.

]]>The video, which was put on YouTube in 2018 and watched more than 1.2 million times, shows Kodi meowing and missing his dad. And the sounds he is letting out are sad and heartbreaking. Nowadays, Kodi and his brother Shorty have an Instagram account where they have attracted over 40,000 followers.
However, until this day, the black-and-white feline’s behavior remained the same.
“I still occasionally leave the camera out to film him when I leave, and nearly every time he grabs one of his toys and starts wandering through the condo meowing at the top of his lungs,” Rob told Bored Panda in an interview. “When I come home, he usually yells at me as I abandoned him for days, so I give him lots of pets and attention while he tells me all the terrible things he’s endured (he’s quite the storyteller).”

]]>His unique treatment of space is very much the result of his studies. Having trained at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Tulay graduated from M.I.T. with a Master’s of Architecture degree. An architect first and foremost, his drawings both relate and challenge his formal training.
Inspired by both architecture and nature, although his work is structured it still has a degree of freedom to it: “Whether inspired by built form or natural context, my art is constructed by an armature of light,” Tulay explains on his website. “Light, or what looks like atmosphere or fog, is engaged in either defining space or dematerializing the landscape or architectural elements depicted.”
This foggy atmosphere is further enhanced by the dichotomy between black and white. Using ink, charcoal, graphite, spray paint, and watercolor, Tulay explores the relationship between light and dark. According to Tulay, his treatment of light, combined with the unclear relation of the viewer to the ground plane, creates a spatial disconnect—and one which he aims to highlight.
“In some drawings the viewer appears to be floating and is looking both up and down at the same time,” he says. Scroll down to see some of his work!
