3rd Wave of Inspiration
Since 2003
The fine folks at 72andSunny came to Munkowitz (GMUNK) late in 2017 with a bold idea – they wanted to explore the relationship between Humans and technology and explore the notion that together, this union is more powerful than ever. They wanted Munko to create a series of films that spotlight the all-new INFINITI QX50 through the relentless cycle of man pushing machine—and machine pushing man.

"The main idea of the project is to esthetize kinesiotherapy and to popularize the possibilities and techniques of applying this method through a series of advertising posters.
The concept of the tape project is to show the relationship between functionality and aesthetics.
Each kinesiology method has its own dynamics, plasticity and graphics. Therefore, visual images divided into directions to represent a certain method of taping, functionally confirmed. In addition to distribution by methods of taping, images are built on the difference of colors and lines contrasts."
Artist Joshua Vides making real-life objects appear as simple, black and white sketches. His ongoing experiments in Op Art went crazy when you see Air Jordan 1s, basketball hoops, street signs embellished in white paint with black sharpie lines drawn by hand. For Joshua’s next illusion, he took over The Seventh Letter Gallery in Los Angeles, California last week to present his new exhibit titled “Reality to Idea.”

It's been a while since we focused on Russian illustration (THB our catalogues: RIW1 | RIW2) and just found a new gem - Karina Yashagina creating beautiful illustrative sketches
It's not a first time we review the ultra talented art photographer Flora Borsi but it worth to explore her recent artworks she created in the past year

We have been following the self-initiated movement "Techism" started by New York based artist Krista Kim since the beginning. She currently exhibits in galleries and at art fairs globally in New York, Paris, Miami, Basel and Brussels, and is writing a book on the "Techism" that she hopes to have published next year. Recently she was approached by Lanvin creative director Olivier Lapidus to produce a collection based on her vivid digital artworks.
Look 22 from Lanvin's FW18-19 ready-to-wear collection at Paris Fashion Week
"Her digital images of LED lights informed the color palette of the clothes, which ranged from bold block colors to gradient effects on satiny coats and shimmering evening gowns. The latter were made from a specially developed silk Neoprene that conferred both structure and lightness." via WWD
No. 671 v. 2, digital algorithm painting on Pleximuseum, Digital: 2015, Pleximuseum: 2016
Apart from this fashion debut Krista "works with teams of up to six technicians in the most advanced specialised Pleximuseum labs in New York City and Paris. To reproduce the effect of a LED screen, production is high cost and high risk, as some pieces have to go through three or four runs to achieve the desired level of perfection and quality. It took her two years of experimentation and research into the latest technology to find the labs that could accurately recreate the vibrancy and luminosity of the colors in her artworks from the screen to the large format on Pleximuseum she required, as they had never before used pigments to the same level as she had been using and certain colors cannot be produced. She is the only artist who uses this particular kind of technology in these materials, style and scale. Requiring from six months to a year to complete just one piece, sometimes up to two years, and two months for production, prices of her artworks range from €38,000 to €85,000" via Forbes

"In a deep-red homage to Anish Kapoor, artist Rikako Nagashima has tangled together HUMAN NATURE, an installation Kapoor’ish in scale, color and intention. HUMAN NATURE has been installed at two locations. Her work has been suspended through multiple levels of Tokyo’s MVRDV-designed eye of Gyre gallery, and has consumed the life of a concrete clinic-turned-art-gallery by schemata architects in japan — the latter of which is pictured here, tied-together."
"Anish Kapoor is believed by many to be an artist devoted to dichotomy. Blood, vortexes, voids — his works certainly convey paradoxes. Life, death, happiness, sorrow. they’re beautiful and ugly and they often tie into life and religions in india. as such, Rikako seeks to create a dichotomy of her own — an homage that draws inspiration from kapoor’s artistic execution, and draws dichotomies from her own culture’s philosophy, Yin and Yang"

Elon Musk made a surprise appearance at HBO‘s Westworld panel at SXSW, joining friend and Westworld creator Jonathan Nolan to release an epic trailer of the SpaceX Heavy Falcon rocket launch that carried Spaceman into orbit.
"The highlight reel was created by Nolan, who spoke about the importance of inspiration and the excitement he felt as a child when watching Super 8 footage of Saturn rocket launches — a collective enthusiasm that has seemingly dwindled in recent times. “And so I was having a drink last year with a friend, and we were talking about how do you inspire people? How do you get people to talk again, how can you drive the conversation?” said Nolan. The friend turned out to be Musk and the solution they came up with was a red sports car and David Bowie‘s track “Starman"" via Hypebeast
To present their recent fragrance for men YSL Beauté asked the renowned Russian calligraphy master Pokras Lampas to set a performance during their Moscow leg of the international Y campaign. The challenge was not new for Pokras - 2 Hours, 5 Meters "Y" letter and 1 Artist in made his own epic #calligrafuturism manner
“Performance Arts — a special mix of skills, emotions and unpredicted things.
I love to challenge myself with the projects where randomness replaces any boundaries of comfort.
Climb up 5 meters to paint a huge letter “ Y “ ?
Why not. Keep it on tight timings? Great, there is gonna be a lot of paint splashes.
Any experiments is an invaluable experience and emotions from the result and the process of creation.”

Lorna Simpson’s inaugural exhibition at Hauser & Wirth London, ‘Unanswerable’, features new and recent work across three different media: painting, photographic collage and sculpture. Simpson came to prominence in the 1980s through her pioneering approach to conceptual photography, which featured striking juxtapositions of text and staged images and raised questions about the nature of representation, identity, gender, race and history. These concerns are reflected throughout the exhibition to present the artist’s expanding and increasingly multi-disciplinary practice today
Lorna Simpson: Unanswerable is on view at Hauser & Wirth, London, through April 28.
