Captivating outdoor installation made by Benoit Paille for the photography series "Alternative Landscapes"

"This is a photography of light installation (real light, real square 1x1 meter) i set in nature or where during the night you have usually no lightning, I try to redefine the space/landscape for my own purpose: create a poetic space/time moment. And questioning the reality of what is a landscape"

Motherland Russia has enormous quantity of creative gems spread over the land. Today we found Rustam Valeev's street artworks made with chalks. Speechless, just one white chalk 1% of awesome talent and 99% of painstaking perspiration. For now Rustam has no portfolio website but only a page on Russian social network that blocked in most of countries due to a good reason. Hope to see his personal playground one day.

Kandinsky Type by Sinan Buyukbas

in , , ,

This is kind of a creep situation when less and less Russian designers calls to national history of art and design in their work (even most of them are fashion designers). The history that literally gave a birth to European and American schools of Design that is developing nowadays. Take a look at amazing research and development of Kandinsky's works that later became a typography study created by Sinan Buyukbas.

Natalia Fabia art

in , , ,

Inspired by brash light, vivid color and glitter, and the punk music scene, Natalia Fabia paints photorealistic images of after-hours bars and parties. Her 2010 series “Punk Rock Rainbow Sparkle” was based on staged photo shoots of lingerie-clad girls that captured a raw yet decadent sensibility. The provocatively posed models, many of whom are Fabia’s friends, sport glitter, tattoos, and clunky jewelry, seeming both tough and heartbreakingly vulnerable at the same time. http://www.nataliafabia.com/ via art.sy

A-Moloko by Ermolaev Bureau

in , , , , , ,

Clever identity gets clever prizes. Ermolaev Bureau was among 4 Russian names rewarded by European Design Awards 2012. Designers Vlad Ermolaev and Olga Balina (designer behind our DCMAG logo and cover design) won Gold in Identity for "A-Moloko" project.

This visual identity developed for a company selling milk through a chain of milk vending machines. The logo concept was suggested by the name of the chain: Automated sale of farm fresh milk. The first letter 'A' which when turned upside down resembles a cow's muzzle was taken as the basis. Visual identity is built on a system of symbols that show the path of the milk from the cow to the consumer.
