Steve McGhee

August 21, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Photography, Portfolios, USA, 2015

The guru of photography manipulations Steve McGhee. Let him say for himself: "My work reflects a personal interest in things human beings have little or no control over. We walk through life feeling like we’re indestructible, while in reality, we’re just the opposite. In the days and weeks following a major catastrophes,, people tend to reboot – we get shocked back into being human. That is to say, we react in an undeniably human way… whenever tragedy strikes in the world people come together to help those directly affected. It’s just too bad we have to be reminded that we’re human in such terrible ways."

Blooming Windows of London's Iconic Store

August 20, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Design, United Kingdom, 2015

"The iconic London department store is one of the world's most exciting and recognisable retail environments, with a historical legacy that has consistently touched on trends in style, sport, technology and popular culture – it's a fitting location to celebrate Apple Watch. For the windows, all eight variations of flowers have been scaled and hand-painted by artists, the sculpting process as equally painstaking and meticulous as the original photography on the smartwatch. The flowers for the installation have all been sculpted by hand; from these, master tools were created, from which the petals have been formed out of vac-formed PETG." via Wallpaper*

James Rawson Art

August 17, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, TOP 2015, United Kingdom, 2015

Artist James Rawson resides in Norfolk, England and is a postmodern pop artist. Predominantly working in the medium of collage and painting, Rawson found no inspiration in the beautiful Norfolk landscape he grew up in; instead, the landscape of pop culture fed his artistic drive.

James’ work blurs the boundaries between collage and painting, using preparatory paper collages as reference for his larger paintings. He aims to reflect the multi-layered visual experience we all live in. Appropriating the very images that have become implicit in our society, James’ work disturbs our sense of reality and confuses our perception of popular culture.

The walls at Facebook speak. Its chosen dialect is the poster. Covering walls and conference rooms, these posters voice a history that few of its millions of users will ever hear. Over three and a half years working at Facebook I had the pleasure of questioning, translating, and synthesizing the beliefs, emotions, and activities of this unique community. Below is a small selection of some of my favorite prints.
