Amazing Album Covers Mix and Match

Another clever art form is coming, that is album cover art. The visual pioneer is Christian Marclay. As for Marclay, I think most of us know him because of his music. Right, he is a famous DJ and composer who firstly uses gramaphone records and turntables as musical instruments to create sound collage. While besides, he likes collecting record covers of Michael Jackson, Doors, Donna Summer, David Bowie and many others to re-join new pieces. Christian Marclay might just take Bowie and put him together with MJ or the Black Eyed Peas. No sexism from his side, ladies are caught up in the mix as well. The following are some work from him. I’m they will give a fresh visual effect.

The vibrant world of Julie Heffernan

Julie Heffernan creates sensuous figurative painting, like co-Yale MFAS, John Currin and Linda Yuskavage, but her luminous oils are patently unique among them and most working artists today. A Victorian impetus to conjoin, edging toward pastiche, creates artfully staged Surrealist environments. Read more The vibrant world of Julie Heffernan ›

Fine line and dots Tattoos by Bicem Sinik 1Fine line and dots Tattoos by Bicem Sinik

One can’t help but be reminded of Dr. Woo’s style, when viewing these tattoos by Bicem Sinik. Similar to Woo, the Istanbul, Turkey-based artist infuses geometric shapes into her works and her monochromatic fine lines stand out for their minimalistic quality. While geometric animals seems to be her forte, we can’t help but notice the subtle use of black dots she adds to each of her pieces. It gives her works more depth, barely noticeable shading that brings out a three-dimensional feel. Lately, these types of elegant tattoos have become all the rage, despite the fact that they don’t last very long. As Marie Terry of Tattoo Artist London states, “With the rise of dotwork and linework, these discreet tattoos have become a kind of fashion, in spite of their potential short life as healing and time would make them less visible.” Read more Fine lines and dots Tattoos by Bicem Sinik ›

Psychological landscapes by Alex Gross

The existential vacuum is the psychological landscape that Alex Gross presents in Future Tense. A lengthy parade of characters lost in their cell phones, iPads and computers find themselves in worlds of neon-lit supermarkets, billboard infested metropolises, and naturalistic countryside panoramas. Most of his characters appear bored and distracted. His work exposes the result of corporate-dictated mass culture and our inability to be present and interact with the real world. Alex Gross’ paintings remind us, through a blend of symbolic and literal elements, that it is impossible to escape the domination of corporations and consumerism.

PNL - Pegazusok Nem Léteznek

PNL - Pegazusok Nem Léteznek Music it’s dead. Too many times too many people stated this to matter anymore. I gave up on music lately because everything sound like something I already heard and I’m pretty bored. And tired.
Pegazusok Nem Léteznek it’s a relatively new Hungarian band and reminds me of Nine Inch Nails, respectively How to Destroy Angels. Pop music. Modern, consistent pop music, not that fancy lemonade!
It’s a little bit gloomy, a little bit indie, electronic and sometimes shoe gazing – or meditative if you prefer, minimalist, but catchy. It’s a strange dream, but you don’t wanna wake up from it.
Eszter Ács – vocals and keyboards, Domokos Lázár – guitar and vocals, Lázár Ágoston – drums and Róbert Németh – bass guitar find something beautiful, something of their own.
I stumbled into them accidentally while I was digging up news about one of my old favorites: Európa kiadó. Read more PNL – Pegazusok Nem Léteznek ›

Pietro Sedda’s Twisted Tattoos

Pietro Sedda’s Twisted Tattoos

Italian tattoo artist Pietro Sedda brings a strange new perspective to portrait tattoos by smearing the faces of his subjects across his human canvas. The result has a psychological element to it, and because of the realistic nature of the tattoos, a surrealist effect is created. The technique gives his portraits an inhuman appeal. The act of morphing the faces seems to bring out the personality of the characters. Suddenly, a facial expression that ordinarily would have been viewed as friendly and engaging becomes threatening or disturbing. Sedda’s portrait tattoos have a darker element than those of other artists’, because it is not only the subject’s facial expressions that give meaning to the design; the simple act of warping the faces creates a secondary level of symbolism.

Personal Saints by Raluca Bararu

The story of the Saints series began with one drawing for a group exhibit at Vatra Collective. It was suppose to be about monsters and I discovered, while doodling in-between , that monsters were for me, at that particular time, social norms. So I decided to slay some by playing with pen and paper. In the end the Saints came out to be all the inappropriate answers to those norms. Read more Personal Saints by Raluca Bararu ›
