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

Dark Matter by Jonathan Turner

A digital ode to artist Pierre Soulages. Last year in Rodez, southern France, 95-year-old French artist Pierre Soulages was honored with the opening of a rust-adorned museum in his name. Celebrated for an unconventional approach to painting using only black paint, artist manipulates the spectrum of light bouncing off the surfaces of his works, in turn conceiving a new shade of his own, "outrenoir" (meaning: “beyond black”).

Inspired by this abstract oeuvre, the New York-based visual artist and director Jonathan Turner creates an ode to Soulages, conceiving a hallucinogenic digital world that is scored by the maniacal beats of Dutch E. Germ.

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

3d-printed Zoetrope Sculptures by John Edmark

"These are 3-D printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. The placement of the appendages is determined by the same method nature uses in pinecones and sunflowers. The rotation speed is synchronised to the strobe so that one flash occurs every time the sculpture turns 137.5º—the golden angle. If you count the number of spirals on any of these sculptures you will find that they are always Fibonacci numbers" says John Edmark about the body of his work

Pantone’s 2015 Color of the Year: Marsala

By Sarah Maloy at Shutterstock: "Every December, Pantone announces its upcoming Color of the Year, and every year most designers can’t wait to start searching for images and creating lightboxes inspired by the new hue.This year’s color, Marsala, is a dusky burgundy that draws its name and its shade from the Marsala wines of Italy. Its deep, reddish tones are perfect for the cranberries, crackling fires, and cuddly sweaters of the upcoming winter season, and they’ll guide us all the way to autumn 2015, when leaves the color of Marsala begin to fall.
