Quayola Captives #B04

“In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped, and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it. The best artist has that thought alone which is contained within the marble shell; the sculptor’s hand can only break the spell to free the figures slumbering in the stone. The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.”

— Michelangelo

In Spring 2016 Quayola presented solo exhibition Laocoön at One Canada Square in London. The exhibition was a continuation of the artist’s ongoing research into iconography, whereby he abstracts classical sculptures using digital rendering and production techniques. In so doing, Quayola creates new spaces in which relationships between classical and contemporary art forms and themes can be re-thought.

Peony Yip Illustration

“What if, instead of oozing blood, we sprouted flowers? “To Bloom Not Bleed” by Peony Yip illustrates this idea, portraying “the fine line between the grotesque and beauty of death.” A gutted fish, instead of looking limp and lifeless, reveals its insides to be a bouquet of peonies and roses. It’s a notion that makes death appear almost romantic.”

Modern Brands styled as they come from the USSR

As a kid born in the USSR I can't admit  I have a lot of nostalgia for that period but it definitely has a good examples of graphic design especially typography. Keeping this in mind Saint-Petersburg based designer Mike Levchenko approached the idea of rebranding famous global trade marks using so say "USSR" or "Soviet" style.

Art of Jessica Rimondi

Jessica is an Italian artist studied at the Academia Albertina di Belle Arti of Turin and now lives and works in Berlin.

“My work is a challenge to find a paint method that could be sensory, emotional but cruelly true and real at the same time. I take people I know or find and I get inspired from their natural gesture and the sensation that I find in them. I observe what they evoke in me, and I want to transfer this kind of emotional feeling to the people that observe my paintings. I try to find a way to let my figures breath, move, think – but not only in their physical appearance. I don’t want to make a realistic paint, but a real painting, with all the sensation of their action. This is why I start from gesture, because is instinctive, it is pure, it is just a reaction to something external about us. Then I arrive to work on flesh with this caducity or freshness. This is the approach on my artwork, a continuous curiosity in development, life, communication, exchange.”

Filip Dujardin

"Filip Dujardin makes digital photo montages of impossible structures. In some, modernist buildings are stacked like towers of mislaid Jenga pieces, with cantilevered sections shooting out in every direction. Others show passageways leading nowhere, like Escher drawings made real. Each is meticulously constructed, teetering on the fine edge between reality and absurdity"

Retro Serif for Monotype by Polina Hohonova

London based graphic designer Polina Hohonova was recently awarded by D&AD Yellow Pencil (Gold) for her graduation project at Chelsea College of Arts (Tutor: David Barnett) 

Retro Serif for Monotype

Retro Serif is a project about the revival of glyphs in the Russian alphabet that had been omitted after the revolution. When the Bolsheviks came to power, says student Polina Hohonova, the letters I, Ѳ, Ѣ were omitted from the ‘new’ Russian alphabet as they were regarded as symbols of the aristocratic ‘High Russian’ and therefore representative of the defunct Tsarist Russia. Those symbols were part of the language of Pushkin and Tolstoy. “Reviving these characters is a protest against the prescribed dictatorship of the language,” she says.

Josef Hoflehner Photography

"Each of Hoflehner’s photographs achieves a perfection of composition that seems to defy the possibility that it could ever be seen any other way. Gripping in their ultimate solitude and the unexpected natural beauty they capture, Hoflehner's photographs take his earthly subject matter to raise it to an almost mythical level, defining the essence of the place. In these rare and elusive moments, the natural and the man made are brought together in a poetic interplay of light and shadow, emptiness and structure"
