Lux Notis II by Reuben Wu

March 07, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Photography, Portfolios, USA, 2018

This ongoing project entitled Lux Noctis II (view Lux Noctis I) by Chicago-based photographer Reuben Wu "depicts landscapes within the framework of traditional landscape photography but influenced by ideas of planetary exploration, 19th-century sublime romantic painting, and science fiction." Wu imagined these scenes as the familiar transformed into undiscovered landscapes to renew perceptions of our world.

“Each image is a carefully-planned scene consisting of multiple lighting positions, layered to produce a theatrically-lit composition. Using the GPS-enabled aerial light/drone in specific positions in space, I am able to create moods of drama and tension through chiaroscuro, and the ability to illuminate isolated features of a scene and exclude unwanted elements.”

TOCA ME 18 Opening Titles

March 06, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Motioncollector, Germany, 2018

Recently hosted TOCA ME festival invited leading motion artists Susi Sie and Remo Gambacciani to create Official Titles of the event.

The ever-changing landscapes inspired by organic textures and surfaces within surreal worlds created by processing live action scenes with CG techniques. To create morphing textures MATERIA (Susi Sie and Remo Gambacciani) captured slowly spreading color on even surfaces.

The score was composed by Gavin Little from ECHOLAB. Inspired by seismic and earth shifting movements, he created geological seeming sounds. By burying contact microphones underground in soil and recording vibrations, he captured breathtaking, natural sounds of shifting earth and grinding rocks. For the score he used a hybrid of organic and digital sounds, a musical progression that matched the swell of the movements from texture to texture.

Collage Art by Igor Skaletsky

March 05, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, Russia, 2018

"Tel-Aviv, Moscow and Berlin -based artist. In his works Igor Skaletsky freely manipulates the recognizable images of the history of art and high culture, and ironically unites them in the stylistics of fashion magazines. His works send us back to patterns of our perception and at the same time destroy them. Our visual habits, this secret passage to the unconscious, become juggling toys in his hands. The spectator lives through his images as if through the shock of unexpected discovery of a familiar story."

March 01, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Architecture, France, 2018

New York-based studio Steven Holl Architects and Solange Fabião designed a museum in Biarritz, France dedicated to oceanic issues.

"Entitled ‘Cité de l’Océan et du Surf’, the museum’s design is based on the dual concept of “under the sky” / “under the sea”. Hosting a public plaza and gardens surrounding the museum’s main exhibition space, the complex merges landscape design and architecture, bridging the building to the ocean nearby. Cité de l’Océan et du Surf was named Public Building of the Year by the 2011 Emirates Glass LEAF Awards." via iGNANT

"Seoul-based artist WanJim Gim illustrates the form and gesture of the human body using complex hatched layers of color and dramatic lighting. He adds intrigue to poses that could be considered traditional figure drawing studies by adding abstracted lines and watercolor washes that integrate the fragmented body parts into a larger visual field."

Street Art Installations by Trevor Wheatley and Cosmo Dean

February 27, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Canada, Street Art, Typography, 2018

"Trevor Wheatley and Cosmo Dean work together to create large installations based around phrases and logos that are part of the common lexicon. Casually used terms like “all good” and the shrug emoji take on larger-than-life dimensions in the duo’s three dimensional versions, which are suspended from cables, integrated into chain link fences, toted in truck beds, and painted alongside graffiti. Wheatley and Dean have partnered with music festivals, fashion brands, and the creative house Justkids to install their work. Up next, the artists will be embarking on a trip to Mexico to create new paintings in rural areas." via Colossal

Poor Cherries

February 26, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Fashion, Motioncollector, 2018

LA-based director and photographer Jimmy Marble’s latest film was influenced by Czech avant-garde director Věra Chytiiová's Daisies (1966), which was a colorful frolic through banquets, boyfriends, and the bourgeoisie. Known for making poppy commercial content, Marble’s newest project takes a playful approach to the world around us.

Presented by NOWNESS

The American filmmaker explains how he “used strong visuals to play with emotions in an unconscious way. Like music, it is impressionistic, in that you’re trying to create more of a mood than a story.” The resulting film is an offbeat dayglo daydream told through the eyes of two irreverent characters, who cherish lovers’ quarrels and summer clouds in equal measure.

Concept Art by Zeen Chin

February 26, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Malaysia, Portfolios, 2018

Can't help ourselves by fixing our eyes on digital paintings from Zeen Chin, whose ideas seem to blossom in an unwieldly fashion, and whose muted color palettes and anime-esque content create a beautiful dissonance that still remains painterly.

Award-winning Korean industrial design student Taeyeon Kim take the shortest way to internet recognition by riding a hype of "yet not an Apple" product. His take on Smart Glasses went well and got a massive response online. The hommage for Steve Job's glasses is clear and gracefully naive while the overall "willy wonka" look&feel is pretty nice and playful

Art of Vickie Vainionpaa

February 22, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Canada, Portfolios, 2018

Vickie Vainionpää is an emerging artist living and working in Montréal. "Soft Body Dynamics" is her new art studies presented on the Creative Debuts platform

“This series is a culmination of my thoughts on the impact of technology and the digitization of our current existence. As an artist, I think a lot about what it means to be a painter in today’s media dominated world. I use 3D modelling software to produce forms, colors and compositions which are then rendered by hand using oil on canvas. The works aim to facilitate a dialogue between traditional painterly tropes and new digital means of reading space and content. ”

Boros Art Bunker

February 22, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Architecture, Germany, 2018

"The Boros Bunker in Berlin-Mitte houses a private art collection the likes of which you’ve never seen. Topped with a glass atrium, the monumental Nazi-era bunker contains five floors of contemporary art spread across 3000 square meters."

"Built in 1941 as an air raid shelter by the Nazis, following the Second World War, it was used briefly by the Soviets to hold prisoners of war. Following the war, the bunker assumed a more benign role: a storage space first for textiles, and later for tropical fruit"

www.sammlung-boros.de

"In the early 2000s, art collectors Christian and Karen Boros were searching for a home for their 700-piece collection of contemporary art. Only in Berlin would a WWII Bunker with a sordid history seem like the perfect fit. Inside the hulking exterior, visitors travel through a series of interconnecting rooms where works from big-name artists like Ai Wei Wei and Olafur Eliasson stand alongside lesser known, but equally as intriguing emerging artists."

Suspended Ocean Wave Installations by Miguel Rothschild

February 20, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Argentina, Germany, Portfolios, Sculpture, 2018

"Multidisciplinary artist Miguel Rothschild works across a wide variety of mediums from modified photography to glass sculpture and textiles. In several recent works the Argentine artist has captured the slow roll of ocean waves in suspended fabric installations titled Elegy and De Profundis. Both artworks seem to play with the viewer’s perception, appearing both as waves or perhaps a slice of the sky. Even the filament that holds the artwork airborne seems to glisten like rays of sun or rain. You can see more of the Berlin-based artists work on his website."
