From Curated -

These photos has been tumbled, reblogged and and shared exponentially, but INSA’s “Girls on Bikes” installation is an ongoing project. Like the title suggests, “Girls on Bikes” works with volunteer models, bikes, and large scale, public painted walls by INSA. From INSA:

In this set of photographic works INSA orchestrates a conflicting dialogue between all the elements and explicitly subordinates the value of his own street art to both the possessed object of the bike and the overtly sexualized female presence. Thus questioning our individual perceptions of ownership of public space, of sexuality and of belongings.

More images can be seen here.

Insa and designer Ben Rousseau have been hard at work putting their artistic touch on the current incarnation of the Ice Hotel. The duo worked just under 3 weeks in sub-35 degree tempratures to carve a gigantic pair of ice heels. What they created is a grand artist suite with bed between the legs, and an arched window decorated with Insa’s signature engravings.

View their Ice Hotel room after the jump.

UK artist Insa introduces Insa Heels. It was only a matter of time for this to come, after the artist has become known through his heels design in recent years.

Based in London, ‘Insa Heels’ is a bold backlash against mass production and aims to establish itself as a luxury footwear brand with limited edition colours, using only top end materials and European production.

The artist got together with Ruth Shaw, a London based shoe designer, to bring Insa Heels to life. The first release includes three colorways of the "Classic" stiletto, both featuring the iconic Insa Heels designs.

The website with online store will be going live tomorrow, September 17th.

Have a detailed look at the first line-up of Insa Heels after the jump.
