Whose work do you consider to be among the best specifically with regard to proportion between the elements, overall flow, and general design? Pictures or illustrations are welcome, if you'll say specifically what you like about the proportion/design/flow in the picture.

I agree for No.1 spot and as you said no need to say anything further except look if you have missed seeing any of his work. It's all great stuff!

Claudio Sobral is up there for me. As for why...The aggressive flow of his knives, something visceral about the material combinations, I guess.

Oh yeah, Rod Chappel's work was Native Art, amazing flow, his knives were like abstract interpretations of the natural world. That Lady Diana is like an Inuit Salmon sculpture!
Those other guys mentioned aren't too shabby either. And where the heck does CAS get all that amazing stag??
