Sagaki Keita

in , , ,

Sagaki Keita ruins the famous saying "Less is more" by creating illustrations of classic Ancient Greek sculpture by using a small drawing objects mostly cartoons and Japanese characters. This is kind of patient perfectionist sitting inside him.

Ray Caesar art

in , , ,

A good evening with proper atmosphere required to describe illustration of Ray Caeser, for now we'd like to cite Ray from his Arrested Motion interview

"My work seems to keep on the regular themes of “Hunting Back Innocence” and “Revelations of Light” and the painful process of “Self Examination” and hidden voices calling like sirens in the night. Premonitions and the worlds of pleasure and pain and ugliness and beauty and humiliation and dignity. For many people what I do is art, but for me the pictures are a communication from my subconscious to my conscious mind."

King's Folly by Ivan Venkov

in , , ,

“King’s Folly” an object by Slovakian artist and sculptor Ivan Venkov. Theme is polarity and statement – exploitation.

The composition polarizes the pure natural element, which resonates in black sculpt of the deer and the golden manifestation of allegorical cabinet, which aggregates elements of mundane ravishment.

Young Deer is landing on its front legs, whilst his body is drawn up in the motion of running, the body is cut in half and in the cut, a richly ornamented golden cabinet resides. The natural element presented in the deer does not fight the artificial parasitic presence of the golden cabinet. Its statement is infinite quietness.

Deer’s motion is eternal, the body is corrupted, but the principle carries the motion endlessly.

Deers Tears by Dangerous Underdogs

in , ,

Dangerous Underdogs (Russian students that won D&AD this June) presented the DEERS' TEARS interactive installation at the MIGZ 2011 festival. Dealing with habitual objects we tend to overlook their direct influence on nature. The installation gives you an opportunity to feel an immediate response to our actions.
