Years ago, CNN declared the monuments of the former Yugoslavia to be the ugliest monuments in the world.

It is said that good art is always at least a little bit controversial. In the following, we therefore present to you the sculptures that raised a lot of dust and excited the public.

PolyWood: Animals sculpted from wood, but actually the work of a 3D printer https://citymagazine.si/en/polywood-animals-carved-from-wood-which-are-in-fact-the-work-of-a-3d-printer/ Mon, 20 Jun 2016 03:38:43 +0000

Carving is a real art, but nowadays you don't have to be a master woodworker or a craftsman to make something out of wood or anything else. You just need some technical and computer knowledge. Look at Polish artist Mata Szulik, for example. If we told you that you were looking at wooden sculptures of animals, you would believe us. But in fact, they are products from the PolyWood series, which were created in a graphic program and were "sculpted" with the help of a 3D printer.

Fascinating sculptures from marine debris https://citymagazine.si/en/fascinating-sculptures-from-marine-debris/ Tue, 27 Oct 2015 06:53:49 +0000

Marine litter is a global problem and seriously threatens the coastal and marine environment around the world, including here. They are not just an aesthetic problem, they are a serious threat to fish, seabirds, reptiles and mammals, as well as to boats and the coast, so calls for responsible waste management are getting louder. Art, which has always been a channel or means for reflection, criticism and awareness, has also lent its voice to strengthening the ethical attitude towards the environment. Washed Ashore, an American organization, drew attention to the issue with massive sculptures made entirely of marine debris.
