Monochrome by CJ Hendry

June 01, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in 2018, Art

New York artist CJ Hendry created the series of seven single-coloured rooms for her Monochrome exhibition, to display new images she created of crumpled Pantone swatches.

Each space built within the 2,000-sqm warehouse in Greenpoint is decorated in just one colour, from walls to furniture, objects and plants.

Modular plastic bricks by Everblock, which are similar to Lego but larger, were used to build the partitions – onto which the artist has mounted her artworks bearing different tones of the same hue - via Dezeen

“Art is the first thing [my collectors] add to a space and they design their entire home around their collection. I have taken this concept to an extreme level. Each room has been designed to emulate the art on the wall. The art is the focus, everything matches the art.”

Pixel Future by Eliska Kyselkova

May 28, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Fashion, Digital Art, Portfolios, Photography, 2018, Glitch

Hunger magazine collaborated with digital artist Eliska Kyselkova to create a special editorial aptly titled "Pixel Future"

“Now it feels like your digital self is more important then the reality. Most of us spend the majority of the day checking our phones and laptops and this digital experience will get even more immersive with future developments of augmented and virtual reality. We’ve also seen the creation of robot Sophia by Hanson Robotics in 2015 – [the] first AI with more than 50 facial expressions – and the ability of recognising faces thanks to the computer algorithms. This connection to digital reality and modern progress was a big inspiration for me.”

Art of Olympia Antoniadis

May 24, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Australia, Portfolios, 2018

Young Australian artist Olympia Antoniadis welcomes to her inner world. Voyeuristic and playful, Antoniadis allures the viewer into quiet spaces exploring the domestic territories of others. Her work is commonly based in the bedroom where one finds them self in a familiar space, intimate and calm expressing the most benign potential of human life.

Antoniadis' fixation with fabric lends itself to the moulding and fleshlike nature that envelops her subjects, softly building forms and provoking a playground of possibilities. Her paintings are often focused on the mundane where common occurrences are shifted and provoked by the figures that emerge.

Digital Thinkers Conf Visual by TAVO

May 18, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Graphic Design, Spain, Agencies, 2018

AWWWWARDS asked Madrid-based TAVO studio to come up with the visuals for festival video openers

“The friends of AWWWARDS called us again, this time it was for the complete creation of the image & identity of the event, both for the web, by the hand of the ADORATORIO STUDIO guys, and for the offline image of the event, print and editorial. The concept of these two conferences, Berlin and San Francisco, was DIGITAL THINKERS. We took care of materializing that concept with an explosion of colors and geometric shapes, making a wink to the banding effect that we have suffered so much digital designers with gradients”

NOW Gallery

May 15, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Illustration, Portfolios, United Kingdom, 2018, Art

Hattie Stewart is an Artist and Illustrator based in London, UK. Although she is best known for 'doodlebombing' over influential Magazines, her tongue-in-cheek artwork moves fluidly between many creative fields including Fashion, Music and Contemporary Art.

She is about to open an exhibition of new immersive works for NOW Gallery in London’s Greenwich Peninsula this month.

Hattie’s I Don’t Have Time For This exhibition is the gallery’s first collaboration with a young artist as part of its new programme, which aims to work with rising artists “who have an unusual approach and standout visual aesthetic”.

Commissioned by the gallery’s cultural curator Kaia Charles, the free exhibition from May 16 to June 25 will feature large scale floor-based artwork that invites participation with Hattie’s legendary doodle bomb illustrations, references to psychedelic art from the 60s and post-modern classics like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, offering the viewer a clean break from reality.

Yayoi Kusama in Bloom

May 14, 2018 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Japan, 2018

I saw the entire room, my entire body, and the entire universe covered with red flowers, and in that instant my soul was obliterated”, renowned Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama explains. This experience as a child informed her most recent work, ‘Flower Obsession’.

Commissioned for the National Gallery of Victoria’s inaugural Triennal, ‘Flower Obsession’ is an immersive installation that invites guests to “obliterate” a room with flower stickers — and in doing so, to enact Kusama’s childhood memory.

Nowness presents director Andres Arochi

Iconic Mexican architect Luis Barragan’s Casa Gilardi — an iconic modernist house in Mexico City — hosts a body-bending dance troupe who twist and move through the geometric building’s colorful spaces and rooms. Director Andres Arochi explains his interest in experimenting with the physicality of Barragan’s architecture: “I wanted to play around with and explore the architect’s design. He knew exactly when and where people stand, and how the combination of light and space makes them feel.” Continuing, he notes that: “When we began shooting, magic started to happen. Light burst in through the window, and the dancer’s bodies started to flow in a way I had not anticipated.”
