Cupola Light by Studio AMeBe

“Italian Studio AMeBE pays homage to the stunning architectural beauty of Saint Peter’s Basilica by recreating it as a magnificent lamp. The hanging light fixture focuses its attention on the Vatican City’s iconic dome, using a hyperrealistic approach to craft a striking likeness. Designers Alessandra Mantovani and Eleonora Barbareschi—the duo behind Studio AMeBE—hand painted the ornate and weathered exterior as well as the religious scenes that line the inside. From certain angles, the miniaturized structure could be the real thing.”

Art of Jessica Rimondi

Jessica is an Italian artist studied at the Academia Albertina di Belle Arti of Turin and now lives and works in Berlin.

“My work is a challenge to find a paint method that could be sensory, emotional but cruelly true and real at the same time. I take people I know or find and I get inspired from their natural gesture and the sensation that I find in them. I observe what they evoke in me, and I want to transfer this kind of emotional feeling to the people that observe my paintings. I try to find a way to let my figures breath, move, think – but not only in their physical appearance. I don’t want to make a realistic paint, but a real painting, with all the sensation of their action. This is why I start from gesture, because is instinctive, it is pure, it is just a reaction to something external about us. Then I arrive to work on flesh with this caducity or freshness. This is the approach on my artwork, a continuous curiosity in development, life, communication, exchange.”

Left Out by Maxwell Rushton

As there is literally no Planet B we must think not only about our relationship with environment but with the people around us, especially the ones in need. It is still unclear how we can raise millions in kickstarter for another gadget and avoid helping a bunch (in terms of percentage) of homeless people. British sculptor Maxwell Rushton approached by similar thoughts has created a "Left Out" piece on streets of London where nearly 7000 slept rough on streets during last year.

“I invent during the process, so I don’t know what will happen at the end of the sculpture. I don’t always remember what I have done. Every time I stop, it’s something new”

Samuel has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona and has exhibited at various venues throughout Spain. 

Filip Dujardin

"Filip Dujardin makes digital photo montages of impossible structures. In some, modernist buildings are stacked like towers of mislaid Jenga pieces, with cantilevered sections shooting out in every direction. Others show passageways leading nowhere, like Escher drawings made real. Each is meticulously constructed, teetering on the fine edge between reality and absurdity"

Under the Same Sun identity by OK-RM Studio

Design studio OK-RM has devised a striking graphic identity for Under the Same Sun, an exhibition of contemporary art from Latin America at the South London Gallery.

OK-RM created a new identity for the exhibition to coincide with its move to London. The design combines eye-popping brights with playful type and bold graphic shapes: OK-RM says it represents “an embedded energy in Latin American art and culture” and “a unique relationship with the Modernist canon.”

A World of Wonders

"When you stand among the handiwork of teamLab, a Japanese tech art studio, you’re seemingly transported to a sprawling foreign land that engulfs you in a vibrant, light-filled splendor. This immersive approach is now the focus of a massive exhibition that spans 3,000 square meters (over 32,000 square feet) and is called DMM.Planets Art by teamLab. It showcases a variety of the group’s digital work throughout the years, including new pieces just revealed to the public.

The exhibition features four spaces that offer kaleidoscopic colour schemes and multi-sensory activities. Each piece has its own distinct smell, including: the aroma of flowers, a forest, and “the universe”—a scent that astronaut Naoko Yamazaki helped create."

Anish Kapoor’s London Studios by CaseyFierro Architects

For the past 20 years, Kapoor has been creating enormous sculptures from his studio in a converted dairy factory in south London

Five years ago, Kapoor approached Michael Casey of London-based Caseyfierro about renovating his studio and the buildings he had purchased next door, which altogether take up an entire city block. Caseyfierro went about turning the 3,100 square metres of space into a series of six studios that vary dramatically in scale and function. Each space is designed around a specific act – forming, finishing, testing, painting, drawing, documenting & archiving – with each carrying a distinct atmosphere responding to a material or process. As one would expect, each studio space is designed to be highly flexible, having the ability to morph with Kapoor’s practice.

Retro Serif for Monotype by Polina Hohonova

London based graphic designer Polina Hohonova was recently awarded by D&AD Yellow Pencil (Gold) for her graduation project at Chelsea College of Arts (Tutor: David Barnett) 

Retro Serif for Monotype

Retro Serif is a project about the revival of glyphs in the Russian alphabet that had been omitted after the revolution. When the Bolsheviks came to power, says student Polina Hohonova, the letters I, Ѳ, Ѣ were omitted from the ‘new’ Russian alphabet as they were regarded as symbols of the aristocratic ‘High Russian’ and therefore representative of the defunct Tsarist Russia. Those symbols were part of the language of Pushkin and Tolstoy. “Reviving these characters is a protest against the prescribed dictatorship of the language,” she says.

Tales of Colour

““Made in Italy,” is a label that deserves to be noticed as it consistently stands for impeccable craftsmanship, extreme inventiveness, and subtle yet noticeable sophistication. All three of these titles can easily be bestowed both upon Santoni shoes, the purveyor of fine, hand-made Italian artisanship and the compelling work of storytelling photographer, Simone Bramante, aka @brahmino. No surprise then that the two have joined collaborative forces for Tales of Colours, the new campaign highlighting the mastery, art, and narrative represented within the stitches and fine leather of each handmade Santoni shoe. ”

Josef Hoflehner Photography

"Each of Hoflehner’s photographs achieves a perfection of composition that seems to defy the possibility that it could ever be seen any other way. Gripping in their ultimate solitude and the unexpected natural beauty they capture, Hoflehner's photographs take his earthly subject matter to raise it to an almost mythical level, defining the essence of the place. In these rare and elusive moments, the natural and the man made are brought together in a poetic interplay of light and shadow, emptiness and structure"

La Fábrica

The Cement Factory from the first period of the industrialisation of Barcelona, “The Factory”, keeps on living as a creative space inspired by Surrealism, Astraction and Brutalism. With its Cathedral, Garden and Silos, new and old generations work together surrounded by windows, doors, stairs, false perspectives, in a continuous unfinished work.

“We found enormous silos, a tall smoke snack, four kilometers of underground tunnels, machine rooms in good shape… This was fifteen year ago and it was our first encounter with the Cement Factory. Seduced by the contradictions and the ambiguity of the place, we decided quickly to retain the factory and, modifying its original brutality, sculpt it like a work of art.”
