Adam S. Doyle is the creator of these beautiful bird paintings. Its like he just took his brush once in small strokes and made these incredible pieces.

"Yes, what you see is what it appears to be—strokes of paint. I’ve always loved unfinished paintings because you could see the alchemic process of surface and paint transforming into a living person. With my paintings, it does take quite a bit of working and reworking to arrive at the place where every brush stroke fits into a fluidly flowing whole. It’s important to me to find a balance between an elegance of form that holds both visible marks of paint and a representation of ‘energy within’. I’ll just add that the painterly craft of my images, which I consider secondary to investigating ideas and concepts, came about after a lifetime of expressive image-making, followed by doggedly exploring the aforementioned transformation in grad school. I realized during that same formative period that I was also captivated by trying to visualize energy, which I was quite familiar with having grown up with a dad who practiced Eastern medicine."

Doyle most recently had a show at Skylight Gallery in 2011 and is now currently working on a new body of work in Hong Kong. You can see much more of his work on his website.

• Only basic shapes and patterns.
• Must take less than 10 minutes to create.
• No frills, vectors, textures, gradients or other fancy business.

Apartment buildings and residential houses take off and fly in this creative series by photographer Laurent Chehere.

21 Swings is an interactive installation in Montréal’s Quartier des spectacles. It 's a swing that makes different musical notes as the swing moves and the music changes as additional people join in the fun.

"The result is a giant instrument made of 21 musical swings; each swing in motion triggers different notes, all the swings together compose a piece, but some sounds only emerge from cooperation."

Created by Mouna Andraos & Melissa Mongiat  with support from Quartier des spectacles de Montréal. Check out Vimeo to find out more information about this project.
