Take over Jeddah by Andres Reisinger

March 03, 2024 by Arseny Vesnin in 2024, Art, Digital Art, Design, Spain

Digital artist Andres Reisinger, founder of unclassified studio under his name is known for his experiments that goes beyond screen as Phygital art experiments where physical intersects with digital or vice versa.

His Hortensia Chair was a first of its kind sculptural functional seat inspired by hydrangea flowers that started as a 3D rendering that soon went viral on social media.

In his recent book "Unclassifiable," Andrés presents a tactile odyssey through seven transformative years of his career. But let’s take a look at his recent phygital art installation installed in Jeddah.

Take over Jeddah

In Andres Reisinger's Take Over Jeddah, an ethereal embrace encircles an age-old edifice, ingeniously interacting with its context without making direct contact. This intentional approach provokes a dialogue on the essence and worth of architectural relics, especially those overlooked yet embodying the city’s historical and social narratives. It invites spectators to reflect on the importance of cultural heritage, urging a deeper appreciation that transcends physical form.

Carpoolers by Alejandro Cartagena

August 30, 2021 by Arseny Vesnin in 2021, NFT Art, Photography, Portfolios, USA

@alexcartagenamex

Carpoolers is an acclaimed documentary photo series and self-published project from Mexican photographer Alejandro Cartagena started in 2011. Concerned with the neoliberal policymaking in the city of Monterrey and rapid housing expansions on the outskirts of the city, Cartagena critically documents the fissures between blue-collar urban centres and the lack of infrastructure connecting the suburban overgrowth.

“The collection of The 50 Carpoolers depicts laborers in México captured from an overpass, commuting between distant suburbs and urban centers. Like much of my work, this project comes from a desire to tell the story of the dramatic environmental, economic, and demographic changes playing out in my home city of Monterrey. This series has circulated the internet since 2011 and has been exhibited widely around the world”

— Alejandro Cartagena

“From the vantage point of a highway overpass, the photographer has vividly and repetitiously documented the contract workers and tradesmen who hitch rides in the back of the trucks that will take them to that day’s worksite. As many as eleven labourers are seen at a time in open beds scattered with equipment and commercial goods; many sleep side-by-side, perhaps as strangers to each other. Provoking in its apparent ubiquitousness, this fiercely conceptual series raises concerns regarding the failure of urbanism and neoliberalism in Mexico; its ecological ramifications; and social and economic stratification—within the confines of the image itself even the driver and owner of the vehicle, concealed in the cabin and unseen to us, holds a superior status to the labourers who are exposed to the elements.“

“The way the worker is lying on the bed of the truck with the old wood really gives the sense of the invisibility of the people that build our cities. Having worked in the service industry for years myself...in hotels and restaurants, traveling for hours in buses, that invisibility was latent and a burden that is not to be taken lightly. It was also a space to build an idea of the life I wanted. 10 years, traveling 3-4hrs a day back then, has made me very thankful of my life today”

Darian Mederos Art

@dr_mederos

Cuban artist Darian Mederos transforms his passion for the human figures and the study of Masters like Rembrandt, Caravaggio, and Diego Velazquez, that brought him to explore the ubiquitous human features.

Looking through something is one of the many obsessions that every artist has; Using an obstacle makes the vision more intriguing and less obvious: that's why Mederos has created a series of works that use bubble wrap over his subjects to obscure their form and features.

Ricardo Gonzalez Lettering

August 10, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, USA, Street Art, Lettering, Mexico

IT’S A LIVING is not just a statement but it is also a life philosophy for Ricardo Gonzalez, a designer, and artist from Durango México currently living in Brooklyn. His signature script style can be easily recognised from large scale murals to commercial work for some of the biggest brands to a simple sticker in the streets.

The ambiguity in the typographical messages continually creates a dialog between the viewer and the artwork. “A word is an image” and an image can be interpreted in so many ways, the direct approach of typography has been an exploring path where the main goal is to question our daily living and to produce a positive impact. After all, it’s a living.

Revisiting the works of Benjamín García is always a pleasure and to find new ways he explores the nature or a portrait cannot leave anyone bored. First seen glitch textures and large brushstrokes at the end appear to be created by delicate and intricate work with oil on canvas.

Elisa Insua

January 10, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Art, Argentina, Portfolios, Sculpture, Spain

Born and raised as artist in Buenos Aires, Elisa Insua continues her upcycle practice after moving to Madrid

“Economic studies are based on a series of basic principles: one of them states that, for any given individual, “the more, the better”. My work tries to push this axiom to the limit of excess and abundance, in order to tense it, question it or even defy it.”

— Elisa Insua

“My pieces are about desire, opulence, ostentation and luxury. I apply the concept of the “hedonic treadmill” (the tendency of humans to return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite increases in wealth or the achievement of major goals) and the straight-forward myth of King Midas and his Golden Touch. Social ascent, the “American Dream”, economic inequality, endless irresponsible consumption and the effects of capitalism are also recurring themes.” text from MTArt Agency
