Visual Portals in Silhouettes by Nacho Ormaechea April 17th, 2013
ZitatSpanish artist Nacho Ormaechea who lives and works in Paris creates beautiful digital collages by filling silhouettes of people photographed on the street with visually contradicting images. Because of the these strange juxtapositions of color, place and subject we’re left wondering what the meaning is. Are these memories or desires of these anonymous people, or are they portals to another place and time? Head over to his website to see more.
Impressions of New York + London by Van Tame April 18th, 2013
Zitat Laos-born, France-based artist Van Tame is able to capture the vibrancy of cities like New York and London, in his energetic and dynamic paintings.
With distinctively animated strokes, Tame’s cityscapes remind us of the teeming, bustling life in famous cities.
While the images might seem of average canvas size when viewed online, Van Tame actually paints on large scale canvases that are on average, about 4 feet x 3 feet.
With regard to his use of vibrant colors and the feature of blurred forms, his biography explains that his work is close to that of the “impressionists,” because “[he] does not paint objects, but reflections.”
Zitat Photographer Julia Solis captures poetic photographs of ruined theaters and movie palaces that were once glittering and grand.
For her latest book Stages of Decay, her collection of previously-ornate and -elegant spaces captured across US and Europe over several years is eerie yet intriguing—reminding its viewers of what time does to most things: over time, glory and beauty fades.
CMYK Halftone Prints Recreated by Hand April 21st, 2013
Zitat The Human Printer is an ongoing art project by Stinsensqueeze (STSQ) who take photographs and manually create a CMYK halftone printing effect by hand. CMYK refers to the four inks used in some color printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black)—the application of which is usually determined by computers, not people. The process of applying each dot by hand as you can imagine is a painfully tedious process that requires not only a knowledge of printing but also plenty of forethought before beginning each piece. You can see a rough idea of the process in the video above.
The Human Printer was setup in 2009 by Louise Naunton Morgan and having setup a design studio with Stina Gromark, the project is now run by Stinsensqueeze (STSQ). According to their website they are currently taking orders, all you have to do is upload an image that meets their requirements, select a color process, and they’ll get back to you with a quote.
