Kim Joon

March 18, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Portfolios, Sculpture, South Korea, USA, 2016

Kim Joon pulls from the cultural influence of the United States—steeped in commercialism, superficiality, artifice and fantasy. He frequently appropriates brands in his work, distorting them onto the surfaces he builds in his digital prints. The result is a strange look into a world where commercialism has destroyed life as is, leaving a wake of surreal textures and patterns.

Figurative sculpture by Johnson Tsang

March 16, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, China, Hong-Kong, Portfolios, Sculpture, 2016

"Tsang’s work integrates the themes of human beings vs. objects. Sometimes he anthropomorphizes these objects, giving them human attributes— like in the example of the coffee cups. In other cases, the figures he develops are decidedly human, but distinct nonetheless. He is particularly adept at sculpting expressive, childlike faces— sometimes cheerful, at other times ominous, especially when used in depictions of child soldiers or with other socio-political themes. On the one hand, he can make lovers out of coffee. On the other, he can turn transform a grenade into a pile of human organs. Johnson Tsang’s work has many faces— usually turned out to the world in an unexpectedly jarring way." via Decompoz

Art of Tracy Lewis

March 14, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Illustration, Portfolios, USA, 2016

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.

Art of Brooklyn Whelan

March 08, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Australia, Portfolios, 2016

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.

Kinematic Petal Dress

March 08, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Fashion, Motioncollector, Portfolios, USA, 2016

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.
