Awesome Californian artist working mainly in watercolours, meet Tracy Lewis (Instagram) and her fairy tales
For almost twenty years I’ve lived in the Sierra Foothills. My home has a tree house view of the world that has made nature an integral part of my life and my art. The metamorphosis of seasons and the cycles of life and death are reoccurring elements. A collection of curiosities, along with my love of fairy tales, Art Nouveau and Old Hollywood Glamour have also found their way into my art.
I paint primarily in transparent watercolor, layering luminous glazes of pure hue to give everything a candy coat of Easter-like color.

Born and raised in Sydney, Brooklyn Whelan is one of Australia’s best emerging contemporary artists. Working primarily with acrylics on canvas, his style is strongly influenced by weather patterns, his days of writing graffiti and “future type shit”.
As an artist, I work hard to develop my paintings that speak both to me and to others about the beauty and power that exists within weather patterns. I constantly find myself staring into oncoming storms. I do not merely want to capture the image with my painting; rather, with strong bold strokes, I want to give it life and energy, also the sense of fantasy that one might see in an 80’s sci fi - Powerful electricity, but with a tone of grace, softness and movement.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) commissioned Nervous System to create a new dress for the exhibition #techstyle, which runs from March 6 through July 10, 2016. The exhibition explores the synergy between fashion and technology and how it is not only changing the way designers design, but also the way people interact with their clothing. Inspired by petals, feathers, and scales, we developed a new textile language for Kinematics where the interconnected elements are articulated as imbricating shells.

"In his clever photographs of landscapes, Paris based photographer Guillaume Amat visually explores the meaning of continuity. His recent and ongoing series titled “Open Fields” features images of empty scenes occupied by a fixed, centred mirror to give a window into all that is missing or, perhaps, all that is present." via HiFructose
"Housed in a former butter factory, this striking Loft Apartment design by Melbourne’s AA Architects is filled with sinuous forms that both define a modern view of urban domestic living and provide a beautifully executed antidote to the rectilinear forms of conventional living spaces. Twisting and rising to fill the space with a sense of drama and intrigue, a fluid, sculptural staircase sets the tone of the whole project and carves a visual connection from the Loft’s interior spaces to the roof terrace overlooking Melbourne’s cityscape.

Queen of Double Eyes, Alex Garant (Instagram) is hailing from Quebec and now basing in Toronto. Her alla prima oil paintings offer a graphic quality combined with traditional portrait techniques. Garant uses patterns, duplication of elements, symmetry and image superposition as key elements of her imagery. Alex Garant's paintings are not far from a perfect optical illusion: her protagonists trying to escape themselves, almost possessed by a distinct version of their own individuality, an exorcism of the soul.
The geometric wonders are by Kerby Rosanes (previously), an illustrator from the Philippines, who wields an ink pen and plastic compass like a straight-edge wizard. Full of life-like detail as well as playful realness, the illustrations take two simple artistic tools to combine math and the animal kingdom.
