Art of Brooklyn Whelan

March 08, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Australia, Portfolios, 2016

Born and raised in Sydney, Brooklyn Whelan is one of Australia’s best emerging contemporary artists. Working primarily with acrylics on canvas, his style is strongly influenced by weather patterns, his days of writing graffiti and “future type shit”.

As an artist, I work hard to develop my paintings that speak both to me and to others about the beauty and power that exists within weather patterns. I constantly find myself staring into oncoming storms. I do not merely want to capture the image with my painting; rather, with strong bold strokes, I want to give it life and energy, also the sense of fantasy that one might see in an 80’s sci fi - Powerful electricity, but with a tone of grace, softness and movement.

Kinematic Petal Dress

March 08, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Fashion, Motioncollector, Portfolios, USA, 2016

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) commissioned Nervous System to create a new dress for the exhibition #techstyle, which runs from March 6 through July 10, 2016. The exhibition explores the synergy between fashion and technology and how it is not only changing the way designers design, but also the way people interact with their clothing. Inspired by petals, feathers, and scales, we developed a new textile language for Kinematics where the interconnected elements are articulated as imbricating shells.

P.s. This is a chain reaction of generative fashion started (in our opinion) by Hussein Chalayan then went through Danit Peleg works

Loft Αpartment in Melbourne

March 07, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Architecture, Australia, Interior Design, Lifestyle, Photography, Portfolios, 2016

"Housed in a former butter factory, this striking Loft Apartment design by Melbourne’s AA Architects is filled with sinuous forms that both define a modern view of urban domestic living and provide a beautifully executed antidote to the rectilinear forms of conventional living spaces. Twisting and rising to fill the space with a sense of drama and intrigue, a fluid, sculptural staircase sets the tone of the whole project and carves a visual connection from the Loft’s interior spaces to the roof terrace overlooking Melbourne’s cityscape.

Queen of Double Eyes, Alex Garant (Instagram) is hailing from Quebec and now basing in Toronto. Her alla prima oil paintings offer a graphic quality combined with traditional portrait techniques.

Alto's Adventure - The Ultimate Snowboard Mobile Game

March 01, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Illustration, United Kingdom, Mobile Applications, 2016

Alto’s Adventure is such an immersive experience, it’s hard to believe it’s being channeled through a mobile-sized screen. Its beauty is in the details: the tiny shadow reflected in the snow as you leap into the air for a backflip, the birds flying away in fear as you tear down a hill, the satisfying sound of your board pressing down on the snow. Overhead, the sky is constantly shifting, drenching you in darkness and rain during a midnight storm, then offering solace a few moments later with the soft, rosy hues of dawn...

The app was built by Ryan Cash and Jordan Rosenberg, the founders of the Toronto-based software studio Snowman, with UK illustrator and developer Harry Nesbitt.
