The Wonders Taste by Francesca Fattori

The Wonders Taste was inspired by a René Magritte’s picture named “The Invisible’s Taste”. Artist Francesca Fattori often take inspiration from the surrealist art. Fattori objectifies ordinary food ingredients by relating them to her personal perceptions of sinuosity; extravagance; limitation and fragility. The pictures are still scenes from a play and removed from their fluid natural sequence, which she likes to call “Metaphysical Landscapes”. via Trendland

Black Water Whirlpool by Anish Kapoor

The Head Magician of contemporary arts Anish Kapoor recently revealed his new installation during the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in India, his birthplace.

Unexpectedly set into the gallery floor is a large, seemingly endless hole. In it, a vortex of black water perpetually froths and churns. The whirlpool alters the form, or skin, of the water creating a fury of liquid that invades the walls of the gallery. Descension was on view in a corner room at the Aspinwall House in Fort Kochi, a meaningful location because the room opens to views of a peaceful sea that creates a striking contrast to the powerful whirling vortex.

Artist Residence London

Our new addition to Interior Design Gallery is London's Artist Residence opened during 2014 in a mid-19th-century listed building in Pimlico which was renovated over the course of a whole year and decorated by its two young owners, hoteliers Justin Salisbury and Charlotte Newey. "Following an ‘‘eclectic luxury’’ approach that combines vintage design with contemporary art, Charlotte and Justin have filled the hotel with original art prints and vintage objects sourced in galleries and antique shops across the UK and Europe. The result is a very personal, inviting space that skilfully mixes contrasting elements with surprising results." writes Yatzer

One Second Animated Everyday

You might remember the mobile app we supported 2 years ago and still use it to create an endless archive of our lives by recording a second a day. Here is a guys (actually brothers) that went further and without the help of any app. Meet The Brothers McLeod and their award-winning animation "365". Greg animated one second of animation every day for the 365 days of the year 2013. There was no storyline, script or storyboard. The ideas come from things read, seen or experienced on the day, with a little artistic license for good measure. http://vimeo.com/83155234

Pennethorne’s Café, London, UK

Somerset House, one of London’s major cultural institutions, is now home to the brand new café and bar Pennethorne’s designed by SHH Architects. Situated on the west face of the neoclassical building, looking out onto Lancaster Place and Waterloo Bridge, the new day-to-night venue has been named after Sir James Pennethorne — the highly-reputed architect of the 19th century who was responsible for Somerset House’s 'New Wing' (which now houses the café/bar) as well as other landmarks in London

Marks & Spencer's 2014 Christmas Advert

Magic and Sparkle are out transforming Christmas on behalf of Marks & Spencer. Moving Pictures completed over a hundred visual effects shots in RKCR/Y&R’s 2014 Christmas campaign for M&S, directed by Philippe Andre through Independent Films. A cheeky fairy named ‘Magic’ and her fledgling cohort ‘Sparkle’ take to the skies over Christmas to transform it with the help of M&S, swapping a dull alarm clock for a brassiere, revamping a drab wardrobe into a clothesline of glittering dresses and bringing two lovers together.

Chris Labrooy’s Fantasy Vehicles in “Tales of Auto Elasticity”

UK graphic designer and artist Chris Labrooy riffs on custom car culture in his latest digital illustration series, “Tales of Auto Elasticity.” A follow-up to last year’s “Auto Aerobics,” in which Labrooy placed his bendy, sculptural low riders in a city park, “Tales of Auto Elasticity” shows pick-up trucks with yogic flexibility bending to extreme degrees in a rural parking lot. via Hi-Fructose

Gareth Pugh Spring/Summer 2015 Collection

When it comes to showcasing Gareth Pugh fashion, I leave all the work behind and sit down to write this in a onebreathe. Hence the new Spring/Summer 2015 collection deeply reminds me the work of Leon Bakst but imagine he met Nosferatu or someone from the dark side of Pagan mythology, deep, dark and captivating. Gareth Pugh caused a stir for S/S 15 by eschewing his usual slot on the Paris Fashion Week schedule and kicking off New York Fashion Week with an immersive live experience, made in collaboration with Lexus. The event featured three short films that combined Pugh’s designs with performances by models, choreographed by Wayne McGregor. Filmmaker and artist Andrew Thomas Huang served as creative director. SHOWstudio is proud to exclusively release the films - Megalith, Chaos, and Ascension - alongside a gallery of images that show off Pugh's S/S 15 collection in detail.
