Ceramic street art by Daria Makarenko

in , , , , ,

“Ceramic Speaks in the Street” is a series of street art by Russian artist Daria Makarenko where missing bricks or stones on a wall or panels absent from pavement are replaced by bricks/stones/slabs with thoughts and phrases. The idea was to take an architectural item from an urban space and replace it with something thought provoking that can communicate between the artist and the viewer.

The project’s pieces were located throughout the streets of Stockholm, Sweden from 2011-2012.

Portrait of Julian

in , , ,

"Julián Cánovas-Yañez is a multidisciplinary and complete artist. He is, at the same time, film director, sculptor, painter, photographer and writer. Julian suggested time ago the idea of doing a portrait of him that could describe his capacity of creating and his constant search to understand his body and spirit. All these made Alejandro Maestre think about his work and helped him to develop the idea of this work. Therefore, with this photograph series he intend to show an artist fighting to get to know and shape himself and turn into a better human being." via defringe

"In March of 2012, I was awarded an artist's residency by the United States National Park Service in southern California’s Joshua Tree National Park. While staying in the Park, I spent much of my time visiting the borderlands of the park and the areas where the low Sonoran desert meets the high Mojave desert. While hiking and driving, I caught glimpses of the border space created by the meeting of distinct ecosystems in juxtaposition, referred to as the Edge Effect in the ecological sciences. To document this unique confluence of terrains, I hiked out a large mirror and painter’s easel into the wilderness and captured opposing elements within the environment. Using a single visual plane, this series of images unifies the play of temporal phenomena, contrasts of color and texture, and natural interactions of the environment itself." - Daniel Kukla

Pinhole camera of Jan Dunning

in , , ,

”My photographs are made with a pinhole camera, offering an unsettling, enigmatic perspective on the “natural” world. The work exploits the ambiguous and transformational stance of the pinhole photograph to present confrontations between fiction and reality, the possible and impossible, the natural and unnatural.” – Jan Dunning

Art of Nicola Verlato

in , ,

"Specializing in fusing Americana, popular imagery, and traditional painting techniques, Nicola Verlato is best known for his highly refined allegorical surrealism that recalls the murals of Thomas Hart Benton and the heightened drama of 17th-century Italian baroque paintings. Featuring spectacular light effects, twisting nude figures, and dense compositions, Verlato’s work depicts a dark future that recalls a mythological past. In 2012, he represented Italy at the Venice Biennale with a series of sculptures and paintings, the latter recalling apocalyptic altarpiece panels." via Art.sy

Christy Lee Rogers

in , , ,

"Christy Lee Rogers is a self-taught photographer from Kailua, Hawaii. Her obsession with water as a medium for breaking the conventions of contemporary photography has led to her work being compared to Baroque painting masters like Caravaggio." As stated in personal bio, not sure what to do with Caravaggio or copywriter there but her photography is definitely worth to see.

RONE

Rone’s posters are some of the most iconic in Australia, hiding under overpasses throughout Melbourne. He is renowned for the stylised images of "girls" faces – it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that he’s had more posters in his home town’s streets than any other artist in history. Please check his artworks on http://r-o-n-e.com/

Art of Robin Eley

in , ,

”My paintings are essays of observation, born from a relentless examination of my mileu. Rather than shout, my paintings speak softly. Their messages, both personal and profound, audible only to those who make the effort to listen. By documenting time, I attempt to slow its quickening pace; such that for the briefest of moments there is just the viewer, my painting and the space between.” — Robin Eley
