Macro art by Rómulo Celdrán

July 21, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, Sculpture, Spain, TOP 2015, 2015

Artist Rómulo Celdrán turns everyday objects into oversized sculptures for his series 'Macro'. That is not a new concept in terms of postmodernism sculpture but he does it with a great passion to details and as he said "I believe there is something magic in the world of scales. There is a kind of emotional memory that invites us to feel the relationship with the Macro objects as if it were a game"

Hand-carved Portraits by Yoo Hyun

July 21, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Graphic Design, Instagram, Portfolios, South Korea, 2015

Using an X-acto knife and tweezers, Korean artist Yoo Hyun (Instagram) hand carves intricate cut-paper portraits that feature the likes of movie stars, world leaders, and musicians. Up close, Hyun’s pieces look like abstract designs, but from afar they read as photo-realistic depictions of his subjects. He achieves this by incorporating a zig-zag pattern into his compositions, where each line is specially cut to build a three dimensional-looking form.

Melancholy Rooms by Anna Radchenko

July 05, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Photography, Portfolios, Russia, TOP 2015, United Kingdom, 2015

"Anna Radchenko is one of the new exciting talented breed of Russian artists that are now using London as their creative base. Originally from Moscow, Anna creates visual works on human emotions and observations of the modern world, working with installations and photography." via

She "has brought the Melancholy Rooms to London; at the Hoxton gallery, she creates an ambient where worldwide cultural behaviours are exposed, leading the audience to see, hear, feel and ultimately think about these certain issues. The total installation, or mixed media art, is the first Anna has ever done in London and it is a breach of her own boundaries as an artist as she creates more than just images. The exhibition mixes her well-known photographic work with sculptures, installation, music and video." via

Since the project has started, I shot more than 40 different concepts/characters. of course, for the exhibition I have chosen the ones I liked the most and the strongest ones. All the “sculptural” items (body parts) were produced in Moscow by a team called Zolotaya Staya, the rest has all been sourced, produced and put together in London by an amazing team of professionals leaded by Frederica Hodgkinson.

The core of the exhibition consists of four room installations: mothers love: when it gets hard to breathe disorder: life from like to like consumerism: I consume therefore I exist information wars: what is true and what is fake

Our friend and frequent collaboration artist Louise Mertens rolled up a lot of updates on her personal website.

Louise achieves them with a speed of a pain that she splatters across handmade photography collages. After dry up she complete the artwork digitally and send it over fashion editorial or personal exhibition, signed and stamped. Classy works of Belgium design scene.

Body Manipulations by Monica Piloni

April 17, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Brazil, Portfolios, Sculpture, 2015

While reviewing the sculptural works of Monica Piloni first thing to spark in my visual mind was the old digital works of Dmitry Daniloff made for Sony PSP. But let's not concentrate on the things I found similar. The sculptures of Monica is something to think about for the fragile nature of our bodies.

The artwork also carries certain morbidity, mixed with slight cliche from the erotic iconography, including many symbols and a miscellany of styles carried by our subconsciousness. These styles and symbols are what we ultimately give back to the environment either in a concrete existence or abstract essence.

Tiny Worlds Sculptures by Jorge Mayet

March 25, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Cuba, Sculpture, 2015

Cuban artist Jorge Mayet is creating his own miniature worlds. Attached to white walls, many of his sculptures seem to float in the sky, their bottom sides revealing raw soil and roots as if they have ripped free from all that is below. Other sculptures seem to explode in mid-air, their small wooden houses becoming a cloud of floating splinters. This is no destructive event, however, but one that makes things move and spread.

Mayet builds his tiny worlds predominantly from green painted sponges, paper mache, wire and cloth. His most recent exhibition took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, at Galeria Inox. You can see more on their Facebook page or learn more about Mayet here.

Russian Tales with Modern Twist by Uldus Bakhtiozina

January 29, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Photography, Portfolios, Russia, TOP 2015, 2015

Russian artist Uldus Bakhtiozina (Facebook | Instagram) has been mentioned by worldwide media since her last talk at TED (and BBC) but long before this we were happy to have her on our local Saint-Petersburg Behance Meetup in 2012. Apart from her previous provocative photography series, she went a bit further. Uldus reinterprets traditional Russian Tales in her photos by focusing on the pagans roots and ethnography of Russia. Her works are thoroughly detailed and immersive, and are based on comprehensive research and comparison with Euro-Asian mythology. The artist pays special attention to her ambivalent interpretation of the symbolism hidden in legends and myths.
