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/

Alba Prat

in , , ,

Alba Prat is a Spanish Fashion Designer from Barcelona who studies fashion design at Berlin University of Arts. Prat's final year project is making a lot of good noise in the fashion industry. Inspired by the first Tron film of 1982, she kept the futurist concept, androgynous aspect and straight silhouettes in her design pieces with the touch of the avant-garde glamour and under the futuristic shapes and laser-cuts.

The materials used are wool, leather, cotton and neoprene (a material that becomes our second skin and protects us when we are in the deep waters of the ocean).

The project "Synthetic Oceans" was created to be the final project of Prat's graduation year in Fashion at the German school University of Künste in Berlin. This represents the transition that the aquatic world experiences mixed with the result of the industrialization era.

It's a project focus in the hundreds of tons of plastic that are dumped in the middle of ocean every year creating serious and complicated situations for the living species that live in there and the need of adaptation that they have to don't be killed or die.

The collection "Synthetic Oceans is a ‘cold and dark atmosphere where the beauty of the mutations and the defense mechanisms that its inhabitants embrace is to be seen’.

We can see in the fashion pieces the resembling of the cubist movement, the clean line features and shapes in garments combined with chunky wedge boots with the use of grey, black and silver as a colour palette.

"Through different techniques I have created cube patterns on the surface of some of the materials. Giving the designs a technical yet minimalist character."

Recoloured photography by Sanna Dullaway

Historical photography, recoloured by Sweden-based artist Sanna Dullaway with Photoshop. She owns a small studio that helps to restore memories in colours, so this series can work as her advertising but still awesome and on my opinion Adobe must get in contact with her for some collaborations.

Russian based street art master Pavel 183 brakes the myths of graffiti vandalism by revealing outdoors installations and modifications of post-urban suburbs of our capital. His works a full of social less politic sense and can be valued as an equal act of contemporary art and most of times his stuff is cooler then we see in modern museums around the world.

Into the Abyss by Simon Harsent

in , ,

Underwater photography by NY based Simon Harsent. Series "Into the Abyss" inspired by the poem of David Harsent

into the abyss

A little deeper and she’ll lose the light. At first the surface is just touchable - shadows that might be clouds or birds in flight… She sets her face to the skim

to get the last of the world she came from, some slight sense of voices fading as she slips from almost-day to almost-night, grey-green shading

first to blue, then more than blue, then to a blue never seen by anyone but her, and that slow drift into darkness set to sever all that she owned or wanted, all she had ever been.
