Liquefied Animal Art

German Artist B-O-K-E Creates Splashy Digital Manipulations

— January 28, 2013 — Art & Design
Artist B-O-K-E appears to have made it his mission to recreate animals out of water splashes. Strikingly beautiful, each artwork looks at once familiar and mythical. It is as though each horse, butterfly and elephant represented has traversed from another existence in which delicacy and beauty are revered.

Hailing from Germany, artist B-O-K-E masterfully uses photography and digital manipulations to bring his watery visions to life. Considering that many mammals and animals are predominantly made up of water, it is only natural that a person would one day envision them as made solely out of water. Artist B-O-K-E is careful to also represent them in their natural environments, making them seem at once surreal and realistic.
Trend Themes
1. Water Manipulation Art - Artists are exploring the creative potential of manipulating water to create visually stunning pieces of art and push the boundaries of traditional art forms.
2. Fantastical Animal Creations - Artists are creating mythical and surreal animal representations through innovative digital manipulations that blur the lines between reality and imagination.
3. Nature-inspired Digital Art - Artists are using digital manipulation to recreate the natural world, often exploring the interconnectivity of the environment and its inhabitants.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - Innovative artists such as B-O-K-E continue to push the boundaries of traditional art forms, creating new opportunities to advance digitally enhanced artistic representations.
2. Photography and Digital Manipulation Software - The increased popularity of digital manipulation techniques in photography and graphic design represents an opportunity for software companies to capitalize on this trend with new and evolving software solutions.
3. Scientific Research and Development - The concept of using water elements and water-based forms seen in B-O-K-E's art can inspire new innovations in scientific research and development, particularly in fields related to the properties of water and its uses.
