Perhaps reconsider what you think of as "cool".  There is a huge premium 
on these groups accorded to technical ground-breaking.  But I suspect 
that there are a few artists that have been content to till already 
broken ground and are going to start producing fruit.

Completing pictures entirely with csg primitives is a very satisfying 
accomplishment and potentially capable of powerful results.  To me it is 
akin to classic burin engraving in the world of printmaking.

I always though that Felix Cederling was ahead of his time

Well art is subjective and while I want to say nice things about your 
picture for me all that juicy, glossy green gets in the way. But I think 
the basic idea has a lot of potential.  I took the liberty of playing 
with the color and cropping just for fun.  Didn't mean to offend. A 
composition of three glasses has nearly infinite possibilities after all.
