Art of Andrew Hem

December 19, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, USA, 2016

 “Unknown Terrain”  is a culmination of Andrew Hem's imaginative view of the world.  In his show statement, Hem shares his personal goal of painting the Seven Wonders of the World by the time he is thirty years old. Here, he portrays sites like the Grand Canyon and Mount Everest, recreating the experience of seeing them as an emotional one, rather than capturing their physical reality. Although these are famous places, many of them are out of reach or facing the threats of industry, becoming “unknown” to future generations.

Art of Nicomi Nix Turner

December 19, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Illustration, USA, Portfolios, 2016

Graphite art of Nicomi Nix Turner is filled up with occult symbols. Creating detailed illustrations that invoke a surreal understanding of the perfection in nature, her works delve into the occult and the connections between alchemy, mythology, decay and birth. Her hyper-detailed illustrations capture the coexistence of life and decay in a bouquet of fungi, personified insects, bones, flesh and fauna.

Art of Panos Tsagaris

December 16, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Greece, Portfolios, 2016

New York based, Greek artist Panos Tsagaris burst onto the art scene in 2005 with his first solo exhibition "Theanthropic" and has since embarked, both artistically and personally—as these are undeniably intertwined, at least in Tsagaris’ case—on a journey of continual transformation towards a higher state, a “state of Catharsis” in the artist’s own words.

Drawing on the fields of spiritualism, esotericism and the Occult among others, his artistic process can be compared to that of an alchemist, as curator at large at MADRE Museum Eugenio Violahas poignantly observed, combining disparate elements, from contemporary life to quantum physics to mystical traditions, in order to achieve a masterfully calibrated equilibrium. This artistic-cum-alchemist transformational process aims at “capturing and expressing the restlessness and magic that exists in the soul of all of us” as the artist explains, in order to “elevate our ‘impure’ self to the level where it can reunite with our ‘Divine’ essence”.

Art of Emilio Villalba

December 13, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, USA, Portfolios, 2016

Californian artist Emilio Villalba recently presented by Modern Eden gallery depicts dreamy distortion on canvases. "His gorgeously distorted work is dreamy and unfocused, at once familiar and unsettling in a way that makes the hairs on the back of your arms stand up."

Martin Wittfooth

December 06, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Canada, Portfolios, 2016

Martin Wittfooth was born in 1981 in Toronto, Canada. He spent his childhood in Finland, before moving back to Canada as a teenager. Through his paintings, Martin presents a world which is dystopian by its very definition. The Earth he depicts is void of human life, and filled with strong symbolic implications that the root cause is of our own making; pricipally our disconnection from, and disrespect for, the natural world.

Contrived Structures Nick Sellek

November 30, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portugal, Photography, United Kingdom, 2016

Contrived Structures is a series of photographs created by Nick Sellek depicting detailed models, embracing the contrived structures that surround us in our overdeveloped urban environments. They are close up, exaggerated studies of architectural components, severed from context to emphasise the absurdity of their design. The models are also intended to be displayed as freestanding objects, and to be viewed from all angles.

Malevich Gestalta

November 29, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Portfolios, Russia, 2016, Art, Design

Moscow-based designer Maksim Arbuzov made a sort of an art statement by juxtaposing two icons of mass-production and contemporary art: IKEA and Malevich

"The moment when culture is reflecting in a mass product. Time is going and we often don’t see how history influences to our culture and markets. My idea is to show how through time frames art objects can find reflection in mass-market products. Malevich's Gestalta representing a contemporary culture was created from two famous man-made pieces from different centuries"
