Art of Jessica Rimondi

July 21, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Italy, Germany, Portfolios, 2016

Jessica is an Italian artist studied at the Academia Albertina di Belle Arti of Turin and now lives and works in Berlin.

“My work is a challenge to find a paint method that could be sensory, emotional but cruelly true and real at the same time. I take people I know or find and I get inspired from their natural gesture and the sensation that I find in them. I observe what they evoke in me, and I want to transfer this kind of emotional feeling to the people that observe my paintings. I try to find a way to let my figures breath, move, think – but not only in their physical appearance. I don’t want to make a realistic paint, but a real painting, with all the sensation of their action. This is why I start from gesture, because is instinctive, it is pure, it is just a reaction to something external about us. Then I arrive to work on flesh with this caducity or freshness. This is the approach on my artwork, a continuous curiosity in development, life, communication, exchange.”

Left Out by Maxwell Rushton

July 21, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, United Kingdom, Sculpture, 2016

As there is literally no Planet B we must think not only about our relationship with environment but with the people around us, especially the ones in need. It is still unclear how we can raise millions in kickstarter for another gadget and avoid helping a bunch (in terms of percentage) of homeless people. British sculptor Maxwell Rushton approached by similar thoughts has created a "Left Out" piece on streets of London where nearly 7000 slept rough on streets during last year.

Translated Vase by Yeesookyung

June 29, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Portfolios, Art, Sculpture, South Korea, 2016
“Korean artist Yeesookyung masterfully produces imperfect sculptures, bulbous yet elegant works composed from mismatched porcelain. The series, titled “Translated Vase,” was first inspired by the Korean artisan tradition of destroying porcelain works that are not deemed pristine, and she has continued to make the fused pieces since 2001. Intrigued by these tossed aside works and shards, Yee began saving fragmented tea cups and pots rejected by contemporary masters. Honoring the works’ dismantled states, she traces each crevice in 24-karat gold leaf in the style of Japanese kintsugi, merging the unwanted works together in a way that heightens the beauty of their distress. In this way she blends diverse methods to form a contemporary process that evokes both the elegant designs of her homeland and the delicate rebuilding of damaged works in Japanese tradition.”

Portraits of NYC Subway Strangers as an Animals by Matthew Grabelsky

June 24, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, USA, Portfolios, 2016

"Grabelsky’s works depict couples on subways, often nonchalantly reading magazines or newspapers, but the male figures in these dyads are strange, quasi-mythological human hybrids with animal heads. Deer, bears, elephants, tigers, and everything in between, make a suited appearance in rush hour. By contrasting the platitudes of the day-to-day with the presence of the extraordinary and unlikely, Grabelsky stages the unexpected within the most unassuming of circumstances." via ThinkSpace Gallery

Floating Piers by Christo and Jean-Claude

June 22, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, France, Photography, 2016
“Perhaps one of the most famous artist couples of the 20th century, Christo and Jean-Claude have become synonymous with larger-than-life fabric installations that usually involve wrapping buildings, trees, even entire cliffs with cloth.”
— Yatzer

The most recent Christo and Jean-Claude project to have been executed is an impressive installation of floating corridors covered with orange cloth in Lake Iseo, Italy. The pair’s first project to be completed after Jean-Claude passed away in 2009, “The Floating Piers” was conceived in the 1970’s and comprises a total of 5.5 kilometres of walkways, 3 km of which float on the water by means of specially-designed polyethylene cubes.

Van Gogh on Dark Water Animation

June 20, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Motioncollector, Turkey, Portfolios, 2016

"In this brief video, artist Garip Ay creates an interpretation of Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ painting using a paper marbling technique—or more specifically the Turkish method called ebru. Marbling involves the careful process of floating colors on the surface of water or a slightly more viscous solution called size, before transferring the design or pattern to a special sheet of paper in a dramatic flourish." via Colossal

Romain Langlois Sculpture

June 17, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in France, Portfolios, Sculpture, 2016, Art

Romain Langlois is a self-taught French contemporary artist based in La Côte Martin, France. He is known for manipulating natural elements and using bronze sculpture to challenge and shape viewers' perceptions of life, death and the world around them. Langlois uses specialized methods that lead to controlled, relatively fast petrification and crystallization, which continues his theme of questioning nature and human perceptions.

"Rain" sculpture by Nazar Bilyk

June 15, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Sculpture, Ukraine, 2016

Ukrainian artist Nazar Bilyk created the 6-foot tall sculpture “Rain” as a symbol of man’s communication with nature, a dialogue between the human race and the world around us. 

“The raindrop is a symbol of the dialogue which connects a man with a whole diversity of life forms. The figure has a loose and porous structure and relates to dry land, which absorbs water. In this work I play with scale, making a raindrop large enough to compare a man with an insect, considering that man is a part of nature. Moreover, this work concerns the question of interaction and difficulties in coexistence of man with environment”

Photography of Thierry Bansront

June 14, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in France, Art, Portfolios, Photography, 2016
“I am primarily a portrait painter, lover of faces and emotions that can restore a look, an expression of body movement. I have a preference for rendering homage to the painting of the neoclassical period. the set of lights and colours that highlight the natural beauty of the models. A style that tries to get away from the dictates of modern representation of women to return to us some form of grace and gentleness.”

Kevin Peterson Art

June 09, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, USA, 2016
“Hyperrealist painter Kevin Peterson paints fairytale-like interactions of children and wolves, birds, and bears in scenes much different than the pastoral worlds of storybooks. Instead Peterson places the unlikely packs in distressed cities filled with decaying buildings and urban detritus. Despite the worn surroundings, the young girls in the paintings maintain a sense of innocence while they bravely explore the streets with their powerful compatriots.”
