Moon in your Room: Luna

December 01, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Design, Portfolios, Taiwan, 2015

"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, you may actually be salivating over Luna, a gorgeous lantern shaped and textured just like Earth's celestial companion. The latex and fibreglass design comes in sizes as small as a softball and large as a bike wheel, and if the pictures are any indication, it's durable enough to withstand the inevitable onslaught of children who will stare with wonder at its elegance... then do everything in their power to destroy it."

The Harmony of Autumn

December 01, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Motioncollector, Photography, Portfolios, 2015

"Autumn is that romantic, melancholy and harmonious season that all photographers rush to capture from its arrival. And no wonder, the light, the colours and the energy displayed by the autumn, are ideal fuel for encouraging the creativity of any visual artist. I travelled to Croatia and Slovenia in order to capture this amazing spectacle of nature, and now I feel like I made the right choice." says Enrique Pacheco Time-lapse: Enrique Pacheco (enriquepacheco.com) Original Score: Peter Nanasi (peternanasi.com)

Brandalism

December 01, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in France, Photography, Street Art, 2015

Just days before the start of the UN COP21 Climate Conference held in Paris and during the French state of emergency following terrorist attacks earlier this November, 600 posters were covertly distributed and hung within the city. The posters were not taped to poles or distributed in public grounds, but secured behind glass at bus stops around the city. The large-scale posters were advertisement replacements, fake corporate ads designed by 82 artists across 19 countries to satirize messaging found throughout the Parisian streets.

Organized by the Brandalism project, the citywide sweep is meant to challenge the corporate takeover of the Paris climate talks, forming ads that target the link between corporations’ advertising with consumerism, global warming, and fossil fuel consumption.." Read more on Colossal

Monica Rohan's Textiles in Art

November 30, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Australia, Illustration, Portfolios, 2015, Art

"Floating transcendence and anchored realism share equal magnitude in Monica Rohan’s paintings. Inspired by a rural-idyll of a childhood in South East Queensland and the internal longing of the 19th century novel, Rohan reflects on the genre of autobiography through a mysterious form of self portraiture. Allowing her imagination free rein, Rohan represents the figure in a variety of emotional roles and physical states. Using space as a striking pictorial device, her female subject is positioned in adventurous settings, endlessly floating or falling, climbing or reclining, hunting or hiding." via

New Murals on Icebergs by Hula

November 26, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, Street Art, 2015

Environmental artist HULA known for his series of water murals moves further and takes icebergs with paint and faith. Check artist statement “Series of murals painted on a few of the thousands of icebergs freshly broken off from a nearby glacier. In the short time I was there, I witnessed the extreme melting rate first hand as the sound of ice cracking was a constant background noise while painting. Within a few weeks these murals will be forever gone, but for those who find them, I hope they ignite a sense of urgency, as they represent the millions of people in need of our help who are already being affected from the rising sea levels of Climate Change.”
