POPSBeautiful Fractals Some of these, I think, would make great stained-glass windows. Word count prohibits crediting all the artists - follow link for info

POPSFractalabulous Always wanted to generate fab fracs. Don't think I've seen better fractal art than this.

POPSWhere mathematic and art meet - Fractal art ..inspirational "A fractal is generally “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,” a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning “broken” or “fractured.” -Wikipedia

POPSFractal art: Heaven by Eileen Friend This work is an alternate selection for the exhibit of winning art. A thumbnail doesn't do it justice; there is just too much intricate detail in the work. It has the transparency of crystal, and calls to mind some of the exotic sea creatures they've discovered recently. Link

POPSFractal art: Nicholas Rougeux I found this at a http://www.fractalartcontests.com/2007/entries.php]fractal art contest site . It looks like it could be a spider plant, with its long, ribbony leaves, invaded by snowflakes. Or perhaps it's ribbon winding around ivy. Either way, I like the juxtaposition of the smooth, sweeping, curving ribbons against the jagged, static pieces. There's a great use of light and shadow here. I'd love to get a print for my wall.

POPSArt of the moment: Heart's Wreath by Niklas Meijer This is one of the works that didn't make the finals for the fractal art contest. What first drew me to the image was that it looked like a campfire. The wood burns white-hot. There's a great sense of motion in the flame, and the repetition that defines fractal art demonstrates the conversion of wood to smoke. The title, "Heart's Wreath," makes me wonder what the artist had in mind. Is this the heart of the fire, and the smoke is the wreath? What do you think? Link
