Art of Jeremy Miranda

July 24, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, USA, 2015

"Jeremy Miranda’s work is calming, like the divergent directions of both halves of an overclocked brain spontaneously aligning, spectrum of possibility crystallizing poignantly, the chaos of the wider world and the general entropy of everyday life suddenly glowing, comforting, an austere blanket, warm."

Art of Marco Battaglini

July 22, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Italy, Portfolios, Street Art, 2015, Costa Rica

Marco Battaglini pastiches together bits of Renaissance art with graffiti and other elements of modern pop — not unlike the divine versus the vulgar — in his digital paintings. By mashing together opposing visual traditions, the Italian artist (living in Costa Rica) challenges the viewer to contemplate a variety of topics: cultural democratization, the evolution of knowledge and information, and what he calls our 'patchwork culture.'

That is not a new concept in terms of postmodernism sculpture but he does it with a great passion to details and as he said "I believe there is something magic in the world of scales. There is a kind of emotional memory that invites us to feel the relationship with the Macro objects as if it were a game"

Hand-carved Portraits by Yoo Hyun

July 21, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Graphic Design, Instagram, Portfolios, South Korea, 2015

Using an X-acto knife and tweezers, Korean artist Yoo Hyun (Instagram) hand carves intricate cut-paper portraits that feature the likes of movie stars, world leaders, and musicians. Up close, Hyun’s pieces look like abstract designs, but from afar they read as photo-realistic depictions of his subjects. He achieves this by incorporating a zig-zag pattern into his compositions, where each line is specially cut to build a three dimensional-looking form.

Spaces by Material Immaterial

July 14, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Architecture, Design, Portfolios, Sculpture

The designers behind Material Immaterial studio, Nitin Barchha and Disney Davis, constructed miniature buildings to celebrate the beauty of concrete. These are miniature homes, which they call 'SPACES'. They are a collection of nine unique concrete pieces celebrating the amalgamation of space and volume that have sparked our senses as designers over the years. In honor of classic architecture, the designers say about their motivation behind the project: "Many of the best and most influential buildings of the last century are constructed with concrete, from Le-Corbusier's quintessentially modernist Villa Savoye, to Frank Lloyd Wright's spellbinding Falling water, and from Oscar Niemeyer's nation defining Brasilia, to Tadao Ando's exhilarating Church of the Light."
