Melting portraits by Ben DeHaan

Ben DeHaan‘s “Uncured” series captures the decay of a printed photograph as a result of the removal of the UV light used to instantly dry the ink on the page and cure the image. These portraits appear as if they are melting and evoke a surreal aesthetic, creating a completely unique visual experience that questions the idea of simple replication

“Uncured” explores the expectations of photographic image in a digitally ubiquitous era. A digital photograph is simply ink sprayed on substrates to create an exact replication of a digital file. I’m interested in breaking down the image to its inherent properties to reflect on photography’s role in constructing its significance.

Vault49

I was happy enough to listen guys from Vault49 on scene at OFFF earlier last month and this was really inspiring to see them doing many of "3D" or "digital" things by hands and with low-fi paper models. Less 3D more hands - that's what we get from Vault49, London born studio moved to New York for new opportunities.

Vonn Sumner

Californian young contemporary artist Vonn Sumner "combines portraiture with symbols, painting contemporary persons as repositories of archetypal truths. These persons shed their identities, and assume some other, profound significance amid a lush materiality." (Bert Green from BG Fine Art in Los Angeles)

Emilio Barnes

Emilio Barnes aka Ultrafry is an artist from London specializing in black and white handcrafted pattern design, characters and lettering. 'A lot of my recent work is influenced by my personal experiences of the ‘Sleep Paralysis’ phenomenon - a condition of sleep disorder, night terrors and hallucinations; a case of which I frequently suffer from. Other elements of my artwork are inspired by Eastern cultural design, all things fantasy, astronomy, girls and confectionary.'

Damned Lamp by Luc Merx

Designed by Dutch architect Luc Merx, the Damned.MGX chandelier was produced using additive layered fabrication as one piece. It appears as a hovering mass of writhing nudes – opulent and bombastic – and recalls the classical motif of the fall of the damned, challenging viewers with age-old questions of guilt and morality.

Binary Portraits by Alex Trochut

One of the best illustrators we know in life - Alex Trochut released a series of Binary portraits that takes a look at dual lives that some of the most influential and pioneering electronic musicians lead from day to night. The series Having discovered a way to display two images on one surface, the series presents what the artist refers to as "nocturnal portraits" that "wake up" in the dark. Basically, there's one image that viewers can see in the light and another image emerges on the same page in the dark.
