Curly Bahar

Curly B or Bahar is a young artist from Teheran finishing her Masters in Arts. Her confident, angular brush strokes give the painting a raw, expressive energy. There's a sense of fragmentation, but it's intentional—almost like emotional cubism.

She may just started (assuming the artist career) pouring oil on canvas but the use of light feels dramatic, theatrical even it directs your focus almost subconsciously.

One also need spend some time watching her inks getting stronger in a sketchbook pages she shared on OBJKT as NFTs. Really impressive strokes catching the characters.

Post-WiFi Art by Mika 100o111

The works we have shared by the artist Mika fall into a category that we could describe as post-crypto and post-Wi-Fi art. She blends elements of digital culture, technology, and modern life into physical or conceptual pieces that question the relationships between technology, symbolism, and daily objects.

Post-crypto art is generally developed after or in response to the rise of blockchain technology and the NFT market. Most works reflect the hangover or disillusionment from the previous promises of decentralisation, democratisation of wealth, or even "crypto utopia" we all had in 2021.
Mika's works seem to record an irony or judgment toward this ultra-modern, technology-marinated world, in which crypto art was promising to change but then primarily problematic.

Therefore, these objects in the images have an implicit dialogue with the viewer, an invitation to consider some thought about tradition—for instance, swords, tea bags, crosses—and modernity; what better examples than laptops, Bluetooth, or iPhone chargers?

Mika works are reflections upon the omni-presence of internet connectivity and how it is affecting the physical world. In post-WiFi art, a common theme is a disconnect between virtual and real-world interactions, critiquing the reliance on constant online presence.

Mika invites deep reflection on the state of modernity through her work, critiquing or accepting the role technology plays in redefining our relationship to power, comfort, connectivity, and even spirituality. In the post-crypto, post-WiFi era, as we call it, these works toy with the absurdities of modern life and digital reliance, pushing back against the elevation of mundane or obsolete symbols to objects of reflection.

Visual Tension and Emotional Depth: Olga Feldman’s Journey in 'Frequencies'

Digital artist Olga Feldman, a professional with an extensive background in graphic design, vector art and abstract 3D drawing, recently began a new art series titled "Frequencies." In the collection of monochrome graphic art, Feldman aims to capture essential ideas and feelings through a simple yet striking visual language, representing a generative perspective of reality.

Complexity and Simplicity

Feldman uses classic graphic tools and methods in "Frequencies," notably the stark contrast between solid black background and subtle white lines. Her systematic technique and minimised palette highlight her ability to generate complex thoughts through simplicity. The artist's careful craftsmanship and grasp of wave theory and electromagnetic oscillations are evident in every item in the series. By reducing expressive techniques, Feldman creates surfaces inviting viewers to explore the subtleties of perception and the nature of light.

Visual and Emotional Impact

The monochrome nature of the series allows for a focused exploration of form and texture. The contrast creates a dynamic tension that draws and holds the eye. This visual tension is further amplified by the optical illusions in each work, which seem to oscillate and shift as one moves around them.

One particular piece in the series, "Emotional Landscapes,” presents an abstract artwork executed in the artist’s favourite monochromatic palette. The composition grid, based on the Fibonacci sequence, contains multiple rectangular sections, each filled with intricate white lines, creating a complex geometric structure that challenges the viewer's perception of space and form. Each segment contains a unique pattern of lines, ranging from undulating waves to more angular and geometric forms, creating a fascinating interplay between organic and structured elements.

The lines of the artworks generate an illusion of volume and texture reminiscent of topographic maps, ocean waves, or natural formations, inviting the viewer to explore the depths of each section. Despite the static nature of the image, the lines convey a sense of movement and flow, suggesting unseen forces at work within the composition. This juxtaposition of stillness and motion adds a layer of complexity to the viewer's experience.
The handmade quality of the artworks reminds of a human presence, emphasising the artist's direct engagement with her materials and subject matter. Feldman’s approach subtly contrasts Bridget Riley’s optical art, blending precision with perceptual experimentation.

“I am fascinated by the physical fact that the entire world visible to the human eye can be described by wave functions. That light, colour and form as we see them are nothing more than reflected waves and their refractions. I’m trying to show this in some of the simplest ways available to me so as not to lose the idea itself at the core.”

— says Feldman

The series resonates on both an intellectual and emotional level. Conceptually, it engages with scientific principles in an accessible and visually compelling manner. Emotionally, the works evoke wonder and curiosity, prompting viewers to question their perceptions and explore the boundaries between art and science.

Artistic Background

Olga Feldman was born in the north of Russia, in her words, "in a land of endless darkness", and currently lives in Israel. Before diving into monochrome art, Feldman garnered significant acclaim for her digital illustrations and graphic design. Her works were showcased at the OFFF Barcelona festival, a renowned event in the creative industry. Additionally, her digital illustrations have been published multiple times, including publications in "Hi-Fructoze" magazine, the book of digital and analogue illustrations "Dark Inspiration" by Victionary, and others, further solidifying her reputation as a versatile artist.

The graphics Olga Feldman created demonstrate her ability to blend conceptual depth with technical accuracy to produce visually captivating and intellectually engaging pieces. Feldman's continued investigation of minimalist expressiveness and generative perception demonstrates her potential and uniqueness as a creative.

Her use of frames in various shapes gives some of her pieces an additional layer of intrigue, which heightens the overall impression of her work. The intricate patterns and rhythmic repetitions create a meditative quality, encouraging prolonged contemplation and allowing for multiple interpretations based on the viewer's perspective and experiences.

Feldman's graphic works represent noteworthy accomplishments in modern art. They resonate with op art and minimalist art traditions, inviting the viewer to carefully examine and reflect on the interaction of forms and space. They ultimately showcase Feldman's mastery in creating complex visual effects through simplicity of line and contrast.

It delves into the presence and beauty of being alive.

These masterful portraits provide an open space for poetic storytelling. In today's world, figurative painting has become rare and special, contrasting the reduction of all art to the instant. Certain moments in life linger in our memories with greater potency and contemplation. When sentiment is all that remains, imagination gains even greater significance than life itself. The world around us becomes an extension of our inner lives, and beauty reflects back to us, creating a paradise in this life. Fields of Morning evokes early memories of Mother Nature, highlighting our true potential.
