April 17, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Portfolios, Photography, 2017

Human After All, a collaboration between artists Jan Kriwol and Markos R. Kay, juxtaposes CGI recreations of the human circulatory system with images of urban landscapes

For the series, Kriwol collaborated with London-based digital artist Markos Kay. “I described my vision to few CGI artists and all of them gave up,” he says. “When I described my idea to Markos he said ‘okay’ straight away. He then developed the technique for creating our guy and proposed his form and texture.”

Elise's Phygital Objects

April 17, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, United Kingdom, Sculpture, Portfolios, 2017

Elise is an artist engaged with the shape and form of objects in space. Her sculptures are a giddying mix of surface, mass and volume, situated precariously on the verge of physical impossibility. Pushing materials to the edge of realism, she interrogates notions of materiality, duration and process. Her sculptural language borrows from the industrial and the vernacular. Simultaneously tangible and metaphysical, the compositions project across space, unfurling anthropomorphically upwards, or pushing outwards in repeated gestures of automated reproduction.

Sculptures by Jaime Pitarch

April 11, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Spain, Portfolios, Sculpture, 2017

Jaime Pitarch creates sculptures, drawings, videos and installations often using humble everyday objects such as a guitar, chair, or household and consumer products. He employs inventive strategies of displacement, re-contextualization and visual punning to peel away at their routine uses and meanings to alter our relationship with such utilitarian items.

Pitarch describes his work as mainly having “… to do with the human being’s inability to identify with the structures he himself has created.” Having been stripped of their functionality, we are free to view them in the alternative narratives the artist provides.

StolenForm Ceramics

March 31, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Design, Portfolios, United Kingdom, 2017

StolenForm is a concept brand that specialises in repurposing industrialised objects, transforming them into ceramic home accessories and giftware products.

Christian Marsden is the designer-maker behind StolenForm and has long been inspired by the urban environment. Years spent journeying through London’s streets led him to notice afresh the ubiquitous and foundational features of the city that are so often overlooked: a brick, a manhole cover over a drain or a piece of piping could be reclaimed and elevated to a new level of function and aesthetic value.
