Perception by El Seed - Largest Op-Street-Art

March 23, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Egypt, France, Street Art, 2016

Street artist working under the name eL Seed (you might remember him by Tour Paris 13 project) created one of the largest optical illusion street art in the world, placing it on suburbs of Manshiyat Nasr in Cairo, Egypt. "In the neighbourhood of Manshiyat Nasr in Cairo, the Coptic community of Zaraeeb collects the trash of the city for decades and developed the most efficient and highly profitable recycling system on a global level. Still, the place is perceived as dirty, marginalised and segregated. To bring light on this community, with my team and the help of the local community, I created an anamorphic piece that covers almost 50 buildings only visible from a certain point of the Moqattam Mountain. The piece of art uses the words of Saint Athanasius of Alexandria, a Coptic Bishop from the 3rd century, that said: ‘Anyone who wants to see the sunlight clearly needs to wipe his eye first.’", eL Seed, Instagram

“A street artist born in Paris to Tunisian parents, eL Seed did not learn to read or write Arabic until his late teens, but when he did his renewed interest in his heritage had a profound effect on his art.” — BBC

Jesse Draxler

March 23, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Instagram, Portfolios, USA, 2016

"The obscured overlays and expressive marks that embody Draxler’s work are relatable reflections of repressed subconscious. In constructing, deconstructing and reworking photographs and images, Draxler reveals struggles and surrenders, his work living and breathing with dark hints of existential sexuality. Abstracting and subtracting the human form, Draxler simultaneously masks and uncovers both form and emotion, body and feeling. His practice resonates with familiar deep-set feelings, and like many working artists, Draxler pulls from his own mental state. His ability to harness and reveal vulnerability, tension, anxiety and heaviness is unbounded as he confronts both what we repress and what we reveal." jessedraxler.com, Instagram, via The Creators Project

Seashore Library by Vector Architects

March 22, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Agencies, Architecture, China, Photography, 2016

"On the shore of an idyllic white sandy beach in Beidaihe New District, a coastal region in eastern China, rests a monolithic yet classical structure that contains sublime spaces of aesthetic illumination. The Seashore Library, designed by the Beijing-based studio Vector Architects in 2015, portrays the endless interaction between the manmade and the natural where light, wind and the sound of the ocean enter uninterrupted into the building’s spaces to accentuate its austere lines."

Kim Joon

March 18, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Portfolios, Sculpture, South Korea, USA, 2016

Kim Joon pulls from the cultural influence of the United States—steeped in commercialism, superficiality, artifice and fantasy. He frequently appropriates brands in his work, distorting them onto the surfaces he builds in his digital prints. The result is a strange look into a world where commercialism has destroyed life as is, leaving a wake of surreal textures and patterns.

Figurative sculpture by Johnson Tsang

March 16, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, China, Hong-Kong, Portfolios, Sculpture, 2016

"Tsang’s work integrates the themes of human beings vs. objects. Sometimes he anthropomorphizes these objects, giving them human attributes— like in the example of the coffee cups. In other cases, the figures he develops are decidedly human, but distinct nonetheless. He is particularly adept at sculpting expressive, childlike faces— sometimes cheerful, at other times ominous, especially when used in depictions of child soldiers or with other socio-political themes. On the one hand, he can make lovers out of coffee. On the other, he can turn transform a grenade into a pile of human organs. Johnson Tsang’s work has many faces— usually turned out to the world in an unexpectedly jarring way." via Decompoz
