Quayola Captives #B04
“In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped, and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it. The best artist has that thought alone which is contained within the marble shell; the sculptor’s hand can only break the spell to free the figures slumbering in the stone. The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.”
In Spring 2016 Quayola presented solo exhibition Laocoön at One Canada Square in London. The exhibition was a continuation of the artist’s ongoing research into iconography, whereby he abstracts classical sculptures using digital rendering and production techniques. In so doing, Quayola creates new spaces in which relationships between classical and contemporary art forms and themes can be re-thought.

The Digital Decade IV London: How it was
We are happy to share official photographs from the event hosted by Designcollector and Youth Worldwide in London this July. As you may remember the topic of our annual digital art collaboration was "There is No Planet B" where curated and open contest artists faced the challenge to "Imagine there is no.." war or aggression, gender or racial issues, pollution or climate change. Nearly 30 artists were exhibited at Underdog Art Gallery in South London.
This could not happen without our main partner - Depositphotos and guys at Curioos behind awesome aluminium prints and their delivery.

Boeing 100 Director's Cut
“We created three spots to celebrate Boeing’s 100th anniversary. Executed using seamless design and hyper-real CG, we drew inspiration from engineering blueprints, as each spot captures the awe-inspiring process that starts with a single spark in the mind of a Boeing engineer, and finishes with a gravity defying roar of an engine taking a machine to unprecedented altitudes. From the historical, 1916 B&W plane to the 787 Dreamliner, Boeing products come alive, celebrating 100 years of technological triumphs in Space, Defense and Commercial travel.”

Peony Yip Illustration
“What if, instead of oozing blood, we sprouted flowers? “To Bloom Not Bleed” by Peony Yip illustrates this idea, portraying “the fine line between the grotesque and beauty of death.” A gutted fish, instead of looking limp and lifeless, reveals its insides to be a bouquet of peonies and roses. It’s a notion that makes death appear almost romantic.”
Modern Brands styled as they come from the USSR
As a kid born in the USSR I can't admit I have a lot of nostalgia for that period but it definitely has a good examples of graphic design especially typography. Keeping this in mind Saint-Petersburg based designer Mike Levchenko approached the idea of rebranding famous global trade marks using so say "USSR" or "Soviet" style.
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.

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"
