Living in this masterpiece city always a pleasure to see how travelling artists accept it and admire its beauty. NYC-based Kelly Beeman was commissioned by Louis Vuitton’s Travel Book Series to create a body of work that play off the many unique traits of the city.
Sergio Roger’s work is born from his constant search for inspiration in the ancient artistic representations of beauty. The artist reinterprets iconic elements of art history and decorative arts to break away with preconceived ideas by creating unique and elaborated textile sculptures.
Each of Sergio Roger’s works is Unique and is created from antique fabric remnants. The artist himself carefully selects these materials from antique collector stores. He chooses fabrics such as old linens and velvets, which carry the passing of time and bring soul to the work. For example, in his series of linen busts, he brings a new vision on this subject by replacing stone or marble with delicate pieces of antique linen. With this gesture, the artist wants to reflect on the idea of permanence and majesty that we associate with this traditional art form.
For the 2020 launch of the Mars Rover, NASA asked House of van Schneider to design a symbol capturing the energy and legacy of space travel, while celebrating the engineers who worked tirelessly on this mission.
At once an abstract representation of the iconic rover and blocks reaching up to the sky, the logomark works as beautifully on the rover as it does on a 191-foot tall rocket ship.
Do you know any other designer around whose work travelled to Mars? We know only Tobias! Proud to meet him during OFFF Festivals in Barcelona.

Artist and director of Barcelona Academy of Art Jordi Diaz Alamá has a vast relationships with academic and abstract ways of painting.
“Alamà offers through this series of saturated, vivid and imposing reds, a privileged peek inside the universe of the painter’s studio, the practice of working with life models and the vast plurality in sensuality. Red Studio synthesises the many layers of technical research the artist has acquired over the last decade. Academicism and abstraction coexist again on the canvas: a new aesthetic chapter carried out by an overwhelming expressive force in the form of a dance between the measured and the vigorous brushstroke.”
“Red Studio has been developed in parallel with another of Alamàs’s ambitious series of paintings illustrating scenes of Hell in Dante’s Divine Comedy. Both series have grown in the same space – the artist’s studio – a place that can too often become hell in itself. The fire of the Dantesque Hell seems to crawl into these classical anatomical studies and envelop the figures with an abrasive red enamel, the main unifying thread of the series. Similarly, the works from the #ClásicosDesollados series also make an appearance, engulfed in flames and hung at the bottom of the Red Studio‘s works.” - words by Albert Navales

An entrancing short film by designer and artist Rus Khasanov (previously) fuses multiple optical tricks into a single work.
“The hypnotic footage utilizes pareidolia—the inclination to see an object where it physically doesn’t exist—while referencing heterochromia iridum, a fairly common condition in which a person’s irises are multi-colored, sometimes in the forms of spikes radiating around the pupil or swirls that split the tissue with different hues. Khasanov’s rendition mimics that phenomenon through saturated droplets and innumerable veins that plume outward.” via Colossal
Saint-Petersburg, Russia based artist Edgar Invoker creates quite surreal and experimental artworks by mixing digital tools with airbrush, monotype, liquid acrylic, masking. Practicing techniques contributing to lucid dreaming, he fixes the experience and understanding in the form of paintings. The main technique is to create an abstract form in the form of a blot or a paint print, followed by a "manifestation" of a specific image using a set of techniques.

An immersive sci-fi short by writer-director Stuart Langfield. “Loop” centres around a reclusive former tech CEO’s quest to teach AI how to experience and process true human emotions. However these ’emotion experiments’ involve a series of scripted scenarios that seem to do more to call basic humanity into question as the film blurs the lines between drama and sci-fi, human and machine, real and artificial.
“Loop is an artistic exploration of a simple hypothesis: emotion cannot be programmed, it must be felt and experienced to be real. I started exploring this concept while observing my young son discover and display new emotions through his own direct experience and contact with others. He was learning to process the feelings of anger, joy, disappointment, sadness, and I found this progression of maturity fascinating and insightful. I started to question whether replicating an emotive incident could result in a similar reaction every time and, if so, could we program a machine to feel?”

“In coherence with the same artistic theme that I have been developing, I wanted to show the contrast of aesthetic ideals, how the concept of beauty has changed and shaped society.
As always I enjoy playing the game representing the contrast between the classical ideals of beauty and the contemporary ‘anti-aesthetic’ of the world of urban hip-hop and graffiti culture.”
