I’ve been a big fan of mobiles since I can remember and have collected a few over the years. I’ve never been able to purchase any legit mobiles by reputable artists, but one day…. Alex Palenski is a French artist who creates mobiles inspired by the work of Alexander Calder. The mobiles are extremely intricate and could easily put you into a meditative state quickly. Very similiar to the work of Calder, the mobiles are made up of wire and geometric shapes, floating in space. I love the range of color Palenski choses to use in his work.

See more mobiles in Palenski’s Flickr album.

I’m somewhat back from taking a few days disconnected from the computer. I hope everyone had as nice of Christmas as I did and are enjoying the time with their families. Let’s get back to the good stuff 😉
