Art of Lorna Simpson

Hauser & Wirth London

March 07, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Sculpture, Portfolios, United Kingdom, 2018

Lorna Simpson’s inaugural exhibition at Hauser & Wirth London, ‘Unanswerable’, features new and recent work across three different media: painting, photographic collage and sculpture. Simpson came to prominence in the 1980s through her pioneering approach to conceptual photography, which featured striking juxtapositions of text and staged images and raised questions about the nature of representation, identity, gender, race and history. These concerns are reflected throughout the exhibition to present the artist’s expanding and increasingly multi-disciplinary practice today

Lorna Simpson: Unanswerable is on view at Hauser & Wirth, London, through April 28.

Lux Notis II by Reuben Wu

March 07, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Photography, Portfolios, USA, 2018

This ongoing project entitled Lux Noctis II (view Lux Noctis I) by Chicago-based photographer Reuben Wu "depicts landscapes within the framework of traditional landscape photography but influenced by ideas of planetary exploration, 19th-century sublime romantic painting, and science fiction." Wu imagined these scenes as the familiar transformed into undiscovered landscapes to renew perceptions of our world.

“Each image is a carefully-planned scene consisting of multiple lighting positions, layered to produce a theatrically-lit composition. Using the GPS-enabled aerial light/drone in specific positions in space, I am able to create moods of drama and tension through chiaroscuro, and the ability to illuminate isolated features of a scene and exclude unwanted elements.”

Collage Art by Igor Skaletsky

March 05, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, Russia, 2018

"Tel-Aviv, Moscow and Berlin -based artist. In his works Igor Skaletsky freely manipulates the recognizable images of the history of art and high culture, and ironically unites them in the stylistics of fashion magazines. His works send us back to patterns of our perception and at the same time destroy them. Our visual habits, this secret passage to the unconscious, become juggling toys in his hands. The spectator lives through his images as if through the shock of unexpected discovery of a familiar story."

Illustrations by WanJim Gim

February 28, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Illustration, South Korea, Portfolios, 2018

"Seoul-based artist WanJim Gim illustrates the form and gesture of the human body using complex hatched layers of color and dramatic lighting. He adds intrigue to poses that could be considered traditional figure drawing studies by adding abstracted lines and watercolor washes that integrate the fragmented body parts into a larger visual field."

Concept Art by Zeen Chin

February 26, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Malaysia, Portfolios, 2018

Can't help ourselves by fixing our eyes on digital paintings from Zeen Chin, whose ideas seem to blossom in an unwieldly fashion, and whose muted color palettes and anime-esque content create a beautiful dissonance that still remains painterly.

Not an Apple Smart Glasses

February 23, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Design, Portfolios, South Korea, 2018

Award-winning Korean industrial design student Taeyeon Kim take the shortest way to internet recognition by riding a hype of "yet not an Apple" product. His take on Smart Glasses went well and got a massive response online. The hommage for Steve Job's glasses is clear and gracefully naive while the overall "willy wonka" look&feel is pretty nice and playful

Art of Vickie Vainionpaa

February 22, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Canada, Portfolios, 2018

Vickie Vainionpää is an emerging artist living and working in Montréal. "Soft Body Dynamics" is her new art studies presented on the Creative Debuts platform

“This series is a culmination of my thoughts on the impact of technology and the digitization of our current existence. As an artist, I think a lot about what it means to be a painter in today’s media dominated world. I use 3D modelling software to produce forms, colors and compositions which are then rendered by hand using oil on canvas. The works aim to facilitate a dialogue between traditional painterly tropes and new digital means of reading space and content. ”

Suspended Ocean Wave Installations by Miguel Rothschild

February 20, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Argentina, Germany, Portfolios, Sculpture, 2018

"Multidisciplinary artist Miguel Rothschild works across a wide variety of mediums from modified photography to glass sculpture and textiles. In several recent works the Argentine artist has captured the slow roll of ocean waves in suspended fabric installations titled Elegy and De Profundis. Both artworks seem to play with the viewer’s perception, appearing both as waves or perhaps a slice of the sky. Even the filament that holds the artwork airborne seems to glisten like rays of sun or rain. You can see more of the Berlin-based artists work on his website."

hash2ash - everything saved will be lost

February 13, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Digital Art, Motioncollector, Poland, Portfolios, 2018

“We don’t want our digital lives to fade away. If we want to preserve them, we need to make sure that the digital objects we create today can still be rendered far into the future”

— Vint Cerf

hash2ash

Interactive installation for National Ethnographic Museum in Warsaw created by panGenerator as a part of TEEN AGE exhibition. Installation tuches on the themes of selfie-culture, and the fear of permanently losing the digital records of our lives due to technical failures, impermanence of data storage, or simply because of the obsolescence of the old digital file formats. Even with such compulsive overproduction of the images of ourselves we might end up with nothing but the blank memories of our past. Even the data on ourselves will eventually fade away…

The installation consist of the display that prompts you to take a selfie on your phone, which it renders in digital particles on its large 1x1 meter screen. Then a moment later, your face scatters and falls apart and the real black gravel starts to fall at the bottom of the screen in perfect synchrony with the digital simulation. Gradually a dark mound builds up at the foot of the construction

Hail to the Chief by Frank Synowicz

LACDA

February 06, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Digital Art, Portfolios, USA, 2018

Frank Synowicz is a multidisciplinary new media/digital artist and designer working with Computer graphics, visual effects, video, virtual reality, and traditional painting and drawing. He presents the new art projects "Hail to the Chief" and "Composite of the Chiefs" where under anthropological decomposition he creates the demystification of the American idols

Currently on view at The Los Angeles Center for Digital Art LACDA

This portrait series reflects the fun house nature of the American political process. The circus-like spectacle distorts details of the individuals seeking the prime office. Our relation to them is mainly from the many facets of historical representation and media coverage. Their exalted placement conjures a synthetic character, which becomes warped as it is consumed by the world. This feeds the base of American mythology and the drive of current campaigns.

The fight for control plays out on the public stage, triggering a national identity crisis. Attacks and propaganda distort reality, twisting these most famous of faces. Strings pulled for posturing position, propping up the most promised person at the helm. A side step song and dance, juggling talking points and agenda. A pageant of manufactured personality. Placing in the public eye a poster picture of power and promise.

Hail to the Chief

Composite of The Chiefs
