Vectors in Plywood by Aske Sicksystems

in , , , ,

Russian illustrator and artist Aske Sicksystems synthesizes elements of Soviet era cubism, constructivism and futurism through vector art into semi-sculptural works of art. His latest project is a "Sneaker Head," so to speak: a cross between a Nike Air Force 1 Duckboot and a wolf's head, executed as a painted plywood artwork for the Nike Store Moscow.

Also check another Aske's plywood installation created for International Festival of Contemporary Music and Media Arts MIGZ.

Studio Lin

in , , , ,

Before opening Studio Lin, Alex Lin laid the foundation for his own design practice by collaborating with some of the field’s greatest minds. After receiving an MFA in graphic design from Yale University, Alex spent six years at the design firm 2×4 and three years as a partner at Default.

The studio’s approach is founded on a desire to explore new territory through challenging collaborations with creative visionaries in the fields of architecture, industrial design, art and fashion. Behind every Studio Lin design is a highly defined rationale but not a singular style. The common denominator is a fresh, modern sensibility that eschews the overtly trendy in favor of lasting impact. http://studiolin.org/
