Landscape Light Installations by Barry Underwood

in , , , ,

Drawing inspiration from early theatrical training, and influenced by methods of staged photography and set design, artist Barry Underwood transforms ordinary landscapes into something out of science fiction. The artist utilizes LED lights, luminescent material, and other photographic effects to create fleeting abstract landscapes that are influenced by both accidental and incidental light. via Colossal

Hopper Meditations by Richard Tuschman

in , , ,

Edward Hopper's art draws a lot of attention last month. Worth to mention Nastya's Ptichek "Emoji Nation" but today's Richard Tuschman’s series “Hopper Meditations” evokes the moody colour palettes, cityscape backdrops, and solitary female characters that are signature elements in Hopper’s paintings.

“I wanted to do a series of staged figurative narratives, somehow connected to past art, but also something I could take ownership of. The sets are all painted dollhouse size dioramas that I built and photographed in my studio. A lot of the furniture is standard dollhouse furniture, but some I made myself. I photographed the models against a plain backdrop, and then made the digital composites in Photoshop. This method gives me a great deal of control over every aspect of the process, and I can do it all in my small studio”

320° LICHT

in , , , ,

The "320° Licht" installation of URBANSCREEN uses the cathedral-like beauty of the Gasometer as the starting point for a fascinating game with shapes and light.Within a radius of 320 degrees graphic patterns grow and change on the 100-metre high inside wall of the Gasometer.

“This experience is based on the vastness of the Gasometer,” sound designer Jonas Wiese told the Creator’s Project. “We tried to work with that expression to make the space bigger and smaller, to deform it and to change its surface over and over while not exaggerating and overwriting the original effect of the room.” He continues, “the age of the screen is coming to an end, digital interfaces will dissolve and merge into the social space [...] we poetically contribute to this through art.”

"Monument Valley is an elegant puzzle game where you guide a young princess, Ida, through a maze of ruined monuments. You manipulate the landscape to let Ida get from place to place, using optical illusions to your advantage – as in Monument Valley, when walkways appear to line up, Ida can walk along them – even when you know that they really don't." via Digital Arts

Nois7

in , , , , ,

"Robert Jahns, better known as nois7, has casually been manipulating photos to create surreal, impossible situations for some time now. Featured throughout much of his work are cities – bold old and new – infused with extremes, from the frozen canals of Venice to skateboarding the skyline of New York City. While the idea itself is not necessarily new, the execution is very well done, leaving the viewer with a sense of awe." via Highsnobiety nois7-8
