Haute-couture grocery

Artist Peddy Mergui explores the world of luxury brands, design and ethics in the exhibition ‘Wheat is Wheat is Wheat’, currently presented at the Museum of Crafts and Design in San Francisco. The collection of crafted boxes, containers and cases, each bearing a familiar trademark of a well-known brand, is a humorous yet provocative commentary on global consumer culture and the importance of packaging.

Hopper Meditations by Richard Tuschman

Edward Hopper's art draws a lot of attention last month. Worth to mention Nastya's Ptichek "Emoji Nation" but today's Richard Tuschman’s series “Hopper Meditations” evokes the moody colour palettes, cityscape backdrops, and solitary female characters that are signature elements in Hopper’s paintings.

“I wanted to do a series of staged figurative narratives, somehow connected to past art, but also something I could take ownership of. The sets are all painted dollhouse size dioramas that I built and photographed in my studio. A lot of the furniture is standard dollhouse furniture, but some I made myself. I photographed the models against a plain backdrop, and then made the digital composites in Photoshop. This method gives me a great deal of control over every aspect of the process, and I can do it all in my small studio”

Elsewhere by Von

Illustrator Von's latest solo exhibition, Elsewhere, opens at KK Outlet in London next week. Elsewhere, is a collection of delicately beautiful drawings based on photographs shot by Dan Sully. Each portrait in the collection explores those fleeting moments where we involuntarily slip under and away from all of our surroundings, appearing to others absent and completely elsewhere.

"Based in London, Von studied illustration and animation at Kingston University and set up his own studio, HelloVon, in 2006. He's since produced work for Nike, Selfridges, Penguin, the New Yorker and the Paralympic Games and has exhibited fine art work in London, New York and Los Angeles, including the beautiful graphite and pencil series Animals and Semblance, a collection of portraits combining traditional and digital image-making techniques. For his latest exhibition, Elsewhere, Von has created another series of graphite and pencil drawings, this time depicting subjects who are lost in thought. The show includes both large and small-scale artworks and Von has collaborated with Non-Format, HORT, David Pearson and Darren Firth on a set of limited edition exhibition posters, available to buy on his website."
