Brandalism

December 01, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in France, Photography, Street Art, 2015

Just days before the start of the UN COP21 Climate Conference held in Paris and during the French state of emergency following terrorist attacks earlier this November, 600 posters were covertly distributed and hung within the city. The posters were not taped to poles or distributed in public grounds, but secured behind glass at bus stops around the city. The large-scale posters were advertisement replacements, fake corporate ads designed by 82 artists across 19 countries to satirize messaging found throughout the Parisian streets.

Organized by the Brandalism project, the citywide sweep is meant to challenge the corporate takeover of the Paris climate talks, forming ads that target the link between corporations’ advertising with consumerism, global warming, and fossil fuel consumption.." Read more on Colossal

A Basketball Court Was Styled as a Malevich Painting in Paris

August 28, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Architecture, France, Photography, 2015

Our friends and sponsors Depositphotos launched a brand new blog "Bird" dedicated to the world of Photography. They asked us to come across their latest content presented both on Russian and English and select the interesting portfolio for our readers. Check the surface and the sides of the Paris basketball court that are painted in the main colours of Malevich's "Sportsmen"

Ill-Studio has collaborated with French fashion brand Pigalle to create a multicoloured basketball court between a row of buildings in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. They took inspiration from a 1930s artwork called Sportsmen by Russian artist Kasimir Malevich – a boldly coloured oil painting that depicts four figures stood side by side.

«Sportsmen is one of our favourite artworks, — they say. — We were attracted not only by the characters of the painting, but also by the colours and graphic design that were consistent with our view of the future».

August 13, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in France, Interior Design, 2015

"H2o architectes designed the Arsenal Flat in Paris for a couple that have two children. The apartment isn’t your typical design. The interior is laid out to include three connected living spaces that are open but slightly partitioned by built-in bookcases with one angled side, which references the building’s sloped roofline."

Thibault Delhom

July 13, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, France, Instagram, Photography, Portfolios

"Thibault Delhom (Behance, Instagram) finds interesting ways to infuse his portraits with a creative edge, whether it’s by digitally adding lines and graphics or by using surreal props like an anatomically correct hand. The colour scheme is made up of predominately darker tonalities and he achieves a high level of contrast which is great to see. High quality stuff indeed." via

Watch Classical Sculptures Spring To Life Through The Magic Of Projection Mapping

June 30, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Digital Art, France, Motioncollector, Sculpture, TOP 2015

Walk through any good art classical museum, and the statues can seem so real, it's almost as if they'll come to life if turn your back on them. At France's Lyon Museum of Fine Arts, for at least one night, that's exactly what happened.

golem-mba-lyon1

The museum asked artist Arnaud Pottier to bring sculptures, including Laurent Honore Marqueste's Perseus Slaying Medusa, James Pradier's Odalisque, and Barrias' Les Premières Funérailles, to life. His method was pretty simple: He used projection mapping, which can turn anything—including statues—into a display.
