Elise Unreal Sculpture

April 22, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Art, Digital Art, Portfolios, Sculpture, United Kingdom

“Elise is an anonymous London-based artist creating delirious sculptures. Experimenting with mass and volume, the shapes appear solid yet intangible, somewhere on the edge between realism and an evanescent dream. Painted in pastels, cracked and imperfect, the artworks reflect on the subjectivity of aesthetics as small details and elements can influence our perception of what is harmonious and beautiful or unsettling.” via @trendland

“Angle, curve, surface and dimensionality merge to form an unlikely symmetry that conjoins or dissipates as the gaze spans her compositions. She draws the viewer into a deliriously disorientating world, where intriguing sculptural shapes connect and collide”

— Elise

Letter, Lotus and Legend

April 21, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Digital Art, Portfolios, Russia

The Moscow-based creative design studio Superdesigners just released their latest passion project “Letter, Lotus and Legend”, a four-month odyssey into the creative process that weaves “the martial grace of the samurai with the textures and fabrics of a hi-tech clothing brand.” The result is a stunning 3D video of what could be the textures & fabrics trend directions for a hi-tech clothing company.

“Martial arts have always been a breath of fresh air for western culture. Starting with the first American film adaptations about the samurai, a unified philosophy of perfecting one’s mind and spirit has been accreting additional cultural layers without losing its distinct archaic character.

We decided to distill this cluster of meaning into striking choreography familiar from films, enrobing it in eclectic technological shapes.

This piece is about how incessant contradiction and conflict within our psyche lead to feelings of dismay; these feelings are then inevitably expressed through violence and struggle, so that a fragile balance may once again be restored.”

The Comfort Zone by Anna Radchenko

Anna Radchenko

Exceptional photographer and our friend Anna Radchenko reflects on isolation and social distancing through photography with her “The Comfort Zone” series

What does isolation mean to us? How do we feel about it once it’s imposed and our freedom is
taken away?

“Although these photos were shot before the
international lockdown, they’ve become even more relevant in the current landscape. Much of
what we took for granted, including the freedom to leave our homes, go to work and meet people,
has been replaced by a growing feeling of uncertainty and confinement. We find ourselves in an
alternative reality, where we have to change our habits and some of our traits as we are spending
so much time on our own”

Norr Packaging by Slava Vovk

April 09, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Branding, Graphic Design, Portfolios, Russia

Russian designer Slava Vovk shared his latest branding work made for NORR. It is a producer of canned seafood from Sweden, 100% natural product from the north, nothing more and nothing less. The assortment consists of large and small species of marine fish, as well as delicacies, delicious mollusks and crabs.

"NORR" in Swedish means "north", the name sets the atmosphere of minimalism, as a guide for the design of the entire packaging line.

The design and materials of the outer and inner packaging interact in contrasts. Bright outside, like a variety of marine fauna, and white inside, like frosty northern nature.

Still Life by Jorge Isla

April 07, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Art, Portfolios, Spain

Still Life is defined through a set of recovered broken screens of mobile phones as a reflection of the modes of production and consumption of contemporary society, where, with its accumulation and linear disposition represents a recontextualization of a consumer article when it has already fulfilled its mission and it is obsolete, useless and far from a production system, establishing a new meaning based on a narrative based on the imposing physicality of a set of broken mobile screens in front of a dematerialized society and the oppression of the digital environment and capitalism on the human being, in addition to the almost absolute and vital dependence on the daily experience of our own community.

Jorge Isla (Huesca, 1992) is a visual artist based in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain. Since 2015, his artist practice focuses on observing and analyzing the reality and of the modes of production and consumption of contemporary society. Actually, his works is ameeting point between sculpture, videoarte and photography.

Alexis Christodoulou

April 07, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Digital Art, Portfolios, South African Republic

Alexis Christodoulou, a self-taught 3D artist living in Cape Town, South Africa has spent the last 6 years building a collection of works focusing on imaginary architecture. While working professionally as a copywriter for the last decade, Alexis taught himself 3D rendering as a hobby.

From a lifelong fascination of digital worlds and 3D graphics from playing video games a boy, Alexis became frustrated with the lack of modern aesthetics represented therein. The images he creates are a simple extension of this desire to see fantastic spaces come to life that echo a more modern and clean aesthetic.

Inside Art by Notoo Studio

April 03, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Digital Art, Italy, Portfolios

Notoo Studio is an Italian creative laboratory specialized in the production of 3D and photographic images, installation and set design. Inside Art is a project that pays homage to art masters like Escher and De Chirico.

“Inside Art is an artistic project that starts from the idea of recreating a purely two-dimensional world in 3D. The concept behind it is to bring back to life the style, shapes and colors that inspired the artist, thus creating a completely conceptual space where abstract work comes into contact with design and contemporary furnishings.

We wanted to give our interpretation of the paintings of artists such as Giorgio De Chirico, Mondrian, Magritte and Giorgio Morandi, bringing their style into the world of 3D, and creating dreamlike but at the same time contemporary environments that would allow a total immersion in the world of the painters”

Abstract Paintings by Ivan Meruvan

Photographer converted to artist Ivan Meruvan shares his passion depicted with oil on canvas. Starting from shooting nature in an abstract manner Ivan continues exploring textures and forms with unlimited expression.

I love the central library in KC because I always have loved/collected libraries: I go to one in every place I visit. They're pretty fair places. Everyone is welcomed, and we all share the same resources. They're reservoirs of culture, and the KC library is exquisite, so full of history, it's grand, it's full of different people and the quiet is so full. Finally, I love the giant slide in concourse park because it's brilliant and I take kids there all the time, and I think it's fun to try and remember how to be a kid. Oh and I love uptown arts bar because I used to sing at the open mics there and that was my introduction to a KC community, - Laura Kennedy

MOVING || GHOSTS

April 01, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Lifestyle, Photography, Portfolios, USA

Jacob Buchanan is a photographer and multi-media artist operating under the pseudonym Melting Giraffe. He often deals in themes of dissociation, identity, and the suggestion of narrative - same as you may find within his new project MOVING || GHOSTS.

Not in kc: The Smokey mountains, Sumter national forest, the burren ireland. In kc st, James on troost, the slabs in Gillham park, Mattie rhodes, the central library, The giant slide in concourse park? Well I grew up in Kentucky running around in the woods, so the Smokeys and Sumter remind me of the green hills and mountains of home. There's something very comforting about being surrounded by wildness and green. You can't escape the growing things, even though there are these deep shadows. For me the South is a place of enormous tragedy but it's inseparable from my roots. For kc, I love the slabs because I lived kind of close to gillham park and we used to walk down there and have drinks and watch the sunset and marvel at the graffiti. It's a beautiful example of a neighborhood/community adapting a space.

“/ / MOVING | | GHOSTS / / is an ongoing project that I started at the beginning of 2019 where I am collaborating with people to create portraits of them in locations important to them while wearing their favorite outfit.
I ask people to wear their favorite outfit is because clothes show where that person is at that period of their life, how they feel & have been feeling. The clothes express who they want to be and in turn, give them confidence. I am interested in sharing who people are and the connection that comes with that. The catch is that they have to hide their face. I ask that people cover their face because it kills the model / identity but allows for other parts of who they are to come out in the image.
Important locations come from the idea of boudoir. Boudoir comes from the french word bouder meaning: to sulk. Historically, sulking was seen as something one would do privately, and the term bouder came to encapsulate a room where one would go to withdraw and be quietly alone. A bouder was a place of intimacy and privacy, where one could express their true selves without fear of judgment or punishment.”

— Jacob Buchanan

“I usually do Barnes and noble or level one at the river market It’s where I go to find solice. Manga and stuff like dnd is a healthier escape from my anxiety than drugs or alchohol Yeah through drugs and alcohol but that turned dark fast so now I run dnd games and make my own stories and when I’m done with school I wanna travel. It’s more life is mundane and I want to adventure. That’s actually why I model I wanna travel to all the fashion capitals and get paid for it”, - Chance

“I’ve tried to think about it a lot! But I love nature, I have a bunch of plants. I think the path that I’ve been going in, I end up growing in different aspects. I can only imagine that being reciprocated visually through nature. I believe life is a simulation”, - Victoria

St. James is incredibly diverse, open-minded and social justice oriented. It is a church focused primarily on people, which gives me a great deal of hope. It's also just an incredibly happy place. Mattie Rhodes is where I work, and I think it's the happiest place on earth. It's three floors of recycled/donated art supplies and decades of children's artwork.

Checkout Zero is an anti-consumerist visual tale by French photographer Pol Kurucz . In a not so distant future when all, even the soul is on sale, eccentric cashiers interact with peculiar products of a factory-like supermarket. Through visual allegories and pop aesthetics each female protagonist uses their singularities to provoke us and challenge wild capitalist, gender and aesthetic norms. Checkout Zero was shot in Sao Paulo with local models and queer artists. The series mixes fine art and fashion elements and features creations from local brands.
