13th Years Online! The Digital Decade 2016: Can you beat these roaring 20 artists?

April 13, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Digital Decade, Glitch, 2016

The game is on my friends! We teamed up with Depositphotos, Curioos e-shop and Youthworldwide London collective to celebrate Designcollector's 13th Anniversary. Today we set the start of the new 4th Digital Decade art collaboration of 2016.The title of this year’s event is: "There Is No Planet B" and it will be held in London in summer. The idea is to bring attention to the problems our planet is currently facing - economic, environmental, political - and what our world would look like without them. Currently we asked 20 artists selected by our team to create an artwork for the expo that portrays a major issue as either solved by humans or even non existent.

Now we invite you to overcome this group of artists and create your artwork. You can think of "Imagine there is no…", as you approach this project. The winners get a place in upcoming London's exhibition alongside with 20+ Selected Artists.

Please read the Brief and send your Application on a special website - Digitaldecade.net Follow the contest on Instagram - @digital.decade

Beau Bernier Frank (@beaubfrank) is a 22-year-old French-American surrealist painter currently working from his studio in the city of Pacific Grove, located on the California coast.

These paintings would mark the beginning of his new career as an emerging artist and the creation of his latest collection, “Off the Grid.”

Art of Jana Brike

April 08, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Latvia, Portfolios, 2016

Instead of giving a personal reflection on Jana's art I'd like to feature her thoughts on the body of art she creates: "The first most reassuring thing is when I see an art piece has worked as a trigger to evoke certain experiences, memories, feelings within a person, of something important they had forgotten or set side in the anxiety and worry of life. Like, the awkwardness and delightfulness of a first kiss, or being in love, or true touch, or even the rawness of sincere pain and so on. Sometimes people would tell me the work has evoked something so very familiar, but they can’t quite put a finger on what it even is. And it is so wonderful to hear, because I know the communication through art is not verbal, and it is not from the position of mental constructions and concepts, but somehow heart to heart and human experience to human experience. It really truly motivates me most of all". Please view Jana Brike's art on Instagram, website and Facebook and read her recent interview here

Surreal Sculpture of Dan Lam

April 08, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Sculpture, USA, 2016

"At first glance, the sculptures of Dan Lam (Instagram) might seem like living organisms. Created with intense hues, the pieces seem to drip right before the viewers’ eyes with an undeniable energy.Lam uses polyurethane foam, acrylic paint and epoxy resin to create her intricate pieces. She starts with a shape and lets the foam takes its own course, guiding it ever so slightly. Afterwards, she chooses a colour and dots the surfaces of each piece with paint to create even more visual rhythm." via TCP
