March 28, 2024 by Arseny Vesnin in 2024, Digital Art, Illustration, Israel, NFT Art, Portfolios

Martisha Merems, a Tel Aviv-based artist, explores the intricate dance of mental and spiritual transformation in her art. Through her work, she delves into the realms of emotions and self-awareness, aiming to harmonise the chaos of life with moments of tranquillity and joy. Her imagination intertwines with contemporary reality, offering new perspectives and celebrating the joy of existence.

Her "Normal Weirdos" collection epitomises this journey, championing the uniqueness of individual imperfections. Inspired by her idiosyncrasies and those of her loved ones, Martisha sees these quirks as vital, distinctive aspects of personal identity. This collection is a call to embrace and empower oneself by accepting these traits, suggesting that what makes us different is what makes us powerful. Martisha Merems showcases her creative prowess through her art and fosters a dialogue on self-acceptance and the beauty inherent in our imperfections.

Extra x Ordinary by Yuri Mo

September 11, 2023 by Arseny Vesnin in 2023, Design, Digital Art, Israel, NFT Art, Portfolios

Extra x Ordinary by Israeli artist Yuri Movshovich explores the beauty of ordinary objects through a lens of exaggerated saturation, intending to add an extraordinary flavour to the wholly ordinary and mundane. The intense saturation stretches the boundaries of the realistic behaviour of light, making the result look a bit real but also magical.

Entropy dir. Matan Portnoy

@maku.filmmaker

Entropy - the degree of disorder of particles during a chemical reaction.
Passionate and painful relationship in the chaotic retrospect of a faded memory.
This is the entropy of a relationship.
When everything is over, are we left alone with the memories of our loved ones or is it that those same memories are what keep us from being alone?

Solitude - Quietude - Contemplation by Nadav Kander

October 30, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Art, Israel, Photography, Portfolios, United Kingdom

@nadavkander

Renowned portraiture and landscape photographer Nadav Kandar famous for his long-term projects depicting the power of nature and humanity. In his recent series “Solitude - Quietude - Contemplation” Nadav explores the solitude in the times of lockdown

“I think of a quote by Rilke: “Love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you.” So many feelings are at play and I was aware that in this quiet time there was a much bigger picture playing out, and it will continue to play out in our future.”

— Nadav Kander

Leni Dothan: Portland Stone Rehabilitation Centre

Verne High Angle Battery

September 10, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Israel, Sculpture, Portfolios, United Kingdom, 2018

This innovative art project by Leni Dothan was prompted by the desire to raise a stronger awareness towards the invisible enemy that is air pollution. Together with the Chemistry department of UCL, Leni created these photographs on 200 Portland stones using London’s air pollution

Texts by Marine Tanguy MTArt Agency

This project is a perfect conceptual and chemical symbiosis between science and art, aiming for awareness and a response to air pollution through public art in between London and Portland Isle. During the b-side biennale, the artist will transform the Verne High Angle Battery into a rehab centre for air polluted sculptures made in London.

These sculptures will be the outcome of an ongoing research based collaboration with Dr. Raul Quesada-Cabrera, expert in photochemistry at UCL, prof. Andrea Sella and Sana Ali. Together, they developed a pollution-reactive material in UCL’s Chemistry lab.

Leni Dothan will bring these polluted sculptures to Portland for them to be cleaned while on display at the Verne High Angle Battery for nine days. The audience will witness the colour changes on the sculptures as the artworks react to a healthier context. The sculptures will become a powerful tool for public awareness towards the growing issue that is air pollution, especially in cities.

Flocks Nir Arieli

April 20, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Israel, Photography, Portfolios, 2016

Photographer Nir Arieli captures what happens dancers let go of the precision, the control, the stamina — and simply be. The series is titled “Flocks,” which, in the artist’s native language of Hebrew, means both “company,” as in dance company, and “flock,” as in a flock of animals. In the images, Arieli explores the relationship between a team of similarly passionate and talented individuals and a herd designated by nature and circumstance.

Looopism by Ori Toor

March 31, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Israel, Portfolios, 2016

"Thousands of cartoon faces undulate like waves on the ocean, smiling, laughing, and morphing in a never-ending loop. It's a friendly face, Finn the Human from beloved animated show Adventure Time—but wait, looking closer it appears that it's also Fiona the human, a gender-swapped version of Finn from the show's in-house fan fiction. Keep looking and the brain starts swimming. Stare too long and the stomach churns, even as the eyes are mesmerized. Welcome to the world Looopism, a.k.a. Israeli artist Ori Toor." via TCP

Generative Fashion by Danit Peleg

Danit Peleg: "In September 2014 I started working on my graduate collection for my Fashion Design degree at Shenkar. This year, I decided to work with 3D printing, which I barely knew anything about. I wanted to check if it'd be possible to create an entire garment using technology accessible to anyone. So I embarked on my 3D printing journey, without really knowing what the end result would be."
