March 30, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Fashion, Portfolios, Russia, Design, Art, 2017

"Jahnkoy" means "new spirit village" on Crimean. Jahnkoy’s work is a decisive return to craft, meaning the very hands that create and define cultures. Siberia-born, the New York-based visual artist Maria Kazakova explores textiles and ancient techniques, and aims to blend the traditional with the contemporary, highlighting the invisible, and reorienting the practice of fashion to the realm of art.

Maria is a graduate from Parsons School of Design with a MFA in Fashion Design & Society, also holds a BFA in Fashion Design from the British Higher school of Art & Design, Moscow and a Graduate Diploma in Fashion from Central Saint Martins, London.

"Maria debuted with "Jahnkoy" collection at New York Fashion Week 2017 and has been shortlisted by LVMH Prize. Also Kazakova was able to secure a collaboration with Puma and resources from Swarovski for her debut collection, quilting second-hand sports t-shirts with embellished fabrics that swaddled the wearer."

RHX11 Human Storage System by Konstantin Kofta

March 27, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Design, Fashion, Ukraine, Portfolios, 2017

Kofta is no ordinary bag designer. His backpacks resemble works of art rather than the emphatically practical and minimalist pieces. This is a melange of imagery, containing raw thoughts, tameless animals, deep forests, abandoned buildings and ancient architecture.

“Humankind is not the first and not the last intelligent race on earth. Erenow, blue blood was flowing in the veins of living creatures. Blood is nothing but a liquid metal. Accomplished technology is indistinguishable from the magic. Mankind has transformed himself and knowledge into artificial intelligence. Existence becomes smarter and faster, it achieves an ability to adapt for radical global changes. The Era of Mankind is coming to its end.”

— Kofta

Forbidden Fruit by Chris Antemann

March 24, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, Sculpture, USA, 2017

"In 2012, Oregon-based sculptor Chris Antemann was invited to participate in artCAMPUS®, the art studio program of Germany’s renowned MEISSEN® Porcelain Manufactory. The program enabled Antemann to collaborate with Meissen’s master artisans on unique pieces and a series of limited-edition sculptures, resulting in a grand installation that reinvents and invigorates the great porcelain figurative tradition."

"Using the Garden of Eden as her metaphor, Antemann created a contemporary celebration of the 18th-century banqueting craze. Inspired by Meissen’s great historical model of Johann Joachim Kändler’s monumental Love Temple (1750), the artist sculpted her own 5-foot version."

Karl Dmitri Bishop Photography

March 24, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Portfolios, Photography, United Kingdom, 2017

"Cambridge-based photographer Karl Dmitri Bishop creates surreal, somewhat mystical images that seem to come straight from another planet. His shots are highly constructed and processed, sometimes they feel rather like paintings then photos with an intangible quality of otherworldliness. With an ever growing audience, Dmitri Bishop leaves a sense of wonder and mystery with his magical work."

Art of TYPOE

March 22, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, USA, 2017

Typoe (Michael Andrew Gran) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice plays upon the constant tension between the dark recesses of the urban underground and the shimmering bling of celebrity. With both gravitas and irreverence his work might be regarded as a contemporary memento mori with a smile.

Typoe’s work evolves in response to a given situation or environment and he often works with gunpowder, fire, plastic, spray paint and found objects in the creation of his works and installations., the messenger that while laughing, points to hypocrisy and excess while announcing the melancholy of time lost.

Based in Miami, Typoe has participated in gallery and museum shows around the world and exhibited his work in Mexico City, Mexico, New York, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Argentina and Basel ,Switzerland. Typoe is cofounder and Creative Director of PRIMARY, an art collective and gallery in Miami.

"Shot around central and southern Japan / Okinawa, the series by Gabriella Achadinha shows day and night photographs of spaces and individuals that stood out from the time there. Marlize Eckard has added her touch by creating the ‘fleeting impermanence’ via acrylic paint with additional strokes that create the smudging, lapsing memory."

Figurative artist Jenny Morgan explores femininity in aspects of life, death and rebirth. "Fusing figurative realism with graphic forms, her impeccably detailed images demonstrate an exceptional technique, while purposefully abstracting the human body—at times literally reducing it to its fundamental, skeletal structure."
