Slava Fokk

I am not the only one to think about Modigliani while browsing Slava's portfolio but this is just a small reminder that first there was a big drama and now here is just a good set of artworks inspired by old masters. Originally from Southern Russia, Slava Fokk is Moscow based acclaimed artist who is saving traditions of classic painting in contemporary art.

Light Sculpture by Bernardi Roig

Sculptor Bernardi Roig uses electric light as a metaphor for this mutation: fluorescent tubes encase his subjects, blinding them. The Artist explores the dynamics of voyeurism by revisiting classical myths, baroque iconography, and memento mori, filtered through the fundamental issues of post-modern thought. By uniting his own philosophical and literary appropriations, Roig has defined a modern form of realism.

Smart Billboards by Ogilvy France

While Russians (Voskhod) gained 4 Golden Lions in Cannes for their social anti-advertisement of road potholes, guys from Ogilvy France did smart billboards that enhance the urban environment. The intriguing billboards incorporate flat design in a 3-Dimensional capacity, building benches, awnings and helpful ramps to make the urban landscape a little bit “smarter.” By rethinking this simple medium, their message links the tech giant with innovation, intelligence and ingenuity in the physical world—a major feat of creative strategy.
