in , , ,

I am so happy that a friend of mine talented spatial designer Anna Neklesa is visiting a lecture of multi-talented British designer Thomas Heatherwick in London today. We faced the work of Thomas once when spoke about new Routmaster Bus. This time we will take a look at his latest contribution to the Olympic that shifted the image of the Olympic Fire - London 2012 Cauldron.

I can refer you to read more about the making of cauldron on Dezeen but please watch the film before this.

Art of Nicola Verlato

in , ,

"Specializing in fusing Americana, popular imagery, and traditional painting techniques, Nicola Verlato is best known for his highly refined allegorical surrealism that recalls the murals of Thomas Hart Benton and the heightened drama of 17th-century Italian baroque paintings. Featuring spectacular light effects, twisting nude figures, and dense compositions, Verlato’s work depicts a dark future that recalls a mythological past. In 2012, he represented Italy at the Venice Biennale with a series of sculptures and paintings, the latter recalling apocalyptic altarpiece panels." via Art.sy

Christy Lee Rogers

"Christy Lee Rogers is a self-taught photographer from Kailua, Hawaii. Her obsession with water as a medium for breaking the conventions of contemporary photography has led to her work being compared to Baroque painting masters like Caravaggio." As stated in personal bio, not sure what to do with Caravaggio or copywriter there but her photography is definitely worth to see.

Rone’s posters are some of the most iconic in Australia, hiding under overpasses throughout Melbourne. He is renowned for the stylised images of "girls" faces – it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that he’s had more posters in his home town’s streets than any other artist in history.
