New York City: Wait or Run

December 04, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Motioncollector, USA, 2015

"The typical New Yorker seems to never be strolling. Whether it’s 5am or the middle of the night, the New Yorker rushes and dashes through the city. And even when he wants to stroll, he can’t – others will literally run over him. In this city, time is a luxury comparable in value to living space. And strangely enough, the people who aren’t running always end up waiting for something. You wait in line for a restaurant, for a concert or to get into the movies. You wait for a taxi, for the subway, for a hot dog on the corner. Waiting is as much a part of New York life as running and rushing.."

New York City: Wait or Run Directed by OSK in collaboration with Karsten Boysen

Emiliano Ponzi

December 03, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Illustration, Italy, Portfolios, 2015

Emiliano Ponzi’s bold textured illustrations employ repetition, a judicious use of line, strong graphic compositions and the use of conceptual metaphors to define and communicate the concept at hand.

TOKYO

December 03, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Photography, Portfolios, Russia, Singapore, 2015

Personal Tokyo of Damjan Cvetkov Dimitrov and Nina Geometrieva (Photo version / GIFs Version)."Tokyo, holy excrements from small undefined creatures! We’re there. First place we had on our list was Nakagin Tower.

Spending two whole days there, we finally learned the dread and discomfort of living in a capsule hotel. It was wonderful, apart from the occasional shakeup and earthquake panic you’d feel when your neighbour decides to move his capsule four floors up, at 5 AM. He was courteous enough to leave a box of chocolate with an apology to his neighbouring capsules."

December 02, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, USA, 2015

Alonsa Guevara lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. "If the painting doesn't make you wonder or try to find a mystery or when a person just looks at something and it's too easy to understand or it doesn't make you feel something in your heart, of course it's not successful."

Moon in your Room: Luna

December 01, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Design, Portfolios, Taiwan, 2015

"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, you may actually be salivating over Luna, a gorgeous lantern shaped and textured just like Earth's celestial companion. The latex and fibreglass design comes in sizes as small as a softball and large as a bike wheel, and if the pictures are any indication, it's durable enough to withstand the inevitable onslaught of children who will stare with wonder at its elegance... then do everything in their power to destroy it."

The Harmony of Autumn

December 01, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Motioncollector, Photography, Portfolios, 2015

"Autumn is that romantic, melancholy and harmonious season that all photographers rush to capture from its arrival. And no wonder, the light, the colours and the energy displayed by the autumn, are ideal fuel for encouraging the creativity of any visual artist. I travelled to Croatia and Slovenia in order to capture this amazing spectacle of nature, and now I feel like I made the right choice." says Enrique Pacheco Time-lapse: Enrique Pacheco (enriquepacheco.com) Original Score: Peter Nanasi (peternanasi.com)

Brandalism

December 01, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in France, Photography, Street Art, 2015

Just days before the start of the UN COP21 Climate Conference held in Paris and during the French state of emergency following terrorist attacks earlier this November, 600 posters were covertly distributed and hung within the city. The posters were not taped to poles or distributed in public grounds, but secured behind glass at bus stops around the city. The large-scale posters were advertisement replacements, fake corporate ads designed by 82 artists across 19 countries to satirize messaging found throughout the Parisian streets.

Organized by the Brandalism project, the citywide sweep is meant to challenge the corporate takeover of the Paris climate talks, forming ads that target the link between corporations’ advertising with consumerism, global warming, and fossil fuel consumption.." Read more on Colossal

Monica Rohan's Textiles in Art

November 30, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Australia, Illustration, Portfolios, 2015, Art

"Floating transcendence and anchored realism share equal magnitude in Monica Rohan’s paintings. Inspired by a rural-idyll of a childhood in South East Queensland and the internal longing of the 19th century novel, Rohan reflects on the genre of autobiography through a mysterious form of self portraiture. Allowing her imagination free rein, Rohan represents the figure in a variety of emotional roles and physical states. Using space as a striking pictorial device, her female subject is positioned in adventurous settings, endlessly floating or falling, climbing or reclining, hunting or hiding." via
