rear view

 

Really compelling series of stills from photographer Jordi Huisman called Rear window. 

It triggers the curiosity of the contemplator like very few subjects do.

Exquisite.

 

 

 

 

 

 

On a tous en nous un petit coté voyeur non?  On aime se perdre dans l'imaginaire de la vie des autres, surtout lorsqu'on vit en vis-a-vis. 

Rear window de Jordi Huisman attise la curiosité du contemplateur, un effet de "comme si on y était".  J'éprouve personnelement un sentiment de réconfort à regarder cette série, le réconfort que j'associe à la vie citadine:  Il y a toujours un fenêtre allumée, quelque part dans la nuit.

 

 

Mystery, fantasy

and the work of Ben Cauchi.

I know, i am not a huge fan of videos on blogs, i try to to stay away from that format because i am myself so quick to skip the "video" post.  But pause for a second, step away from the screen if you wish, and play this song.  The actual song starts around 1.20min.

These two beautiful sisters from sweden are just lovely.  Something in their style is so touching to me.  I guess it's called authenticity.  I also happen to love a good folk/pop song when i hear one.

Enjoy your listening and have a great weekend!

Camille Seaman travelled over 5,600 miles across Texas, Oklahoma, kansas, Nebraska, South Nakota and north Dakota in less than 10 days during the 2008 hurricane season.  She delivered this series called "The Big Cloud". 

I think for most photographers it's almost impossible to stay unbiased by the spectacle and force behind nature.

I dream about a project like that, mostly for the cross-america road-trip fantasy but i am so completely chicken that i would never dare to chase hurricanes or tornadoes. 

I call this a brave project.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't even articulate how much i love these brilliant installations from Tim Hawkinson.

Perfect use of space, subject, volume and proportions.

 

 

 

  

 

 

objects of empathy

 

 

The super cool concepts and brilliant execution of artist Miya Kondo.

I am particulary fond of her ceramic series.

 

 

 

 

L'univers calmant et subtile des créations de l'artiste à concepts Miya Kondo.

Exactement besoin de ça en ce moment.

 

 

back to black

 

I am really into monochromatic art lately.

Love the charcoal drawings of artist Jenny Brown.  Her work in color is equally beautiful, you should check out her entire body of work.

 

 

 

 

 

Just Joy.

neon air

 

I think i am starting to believe that neon colors in home decor is becoming very predictable these days, and even if i use them for different purpose myself (jar labelling and other craft projects) a part of me is getting more excited to see them in Art.

These are such a great surprise and so brilliantly executed!

Work by Anne Lindberg.

 

 

 La mode du fluo dans la déco est un peu prévisible ces-derniers temps vous ne trouvez pas? alors quand on la trouve dans une gallerie d'art, quelle belle surprise!

Oeuvres: Anne Lindberg.

 

The clean compostions of photographer Line Thit Klein from Dannemark.

I am ready for you Summer,  bring it on!

 

 

 

 

En attendant l'été... un brin de pureté.

jewels

 

Lately i have been doing some research on jewely design  -a field i am fairly ignorant in-  and I find myself so wonderfully surprised with my discoveries. 

Most of these pieces are easily categorized as objects of art in my book. They are so outrougeously beautiful and intricate, I would hang them on my wall. The thought of owning one to wear just gives me goosebumps.

 

 

 

In order of appearance:  Lizzie Fortunato, Eddie Borgo, Akong, Jennifer Loiselle, Marion Vidal and (my fave = pony hair!):  Elizabeth Knight.

 

 All designs sourced here.

 

 

 

The spring post.  Everyone is doing it, and i am no exception. 

New York this year is a good month early in the blooming season and green life is sprouting everywhere!

What a great moment to introduce you to the subtle work of conceptual artist Bunpei Kado.

 

 

 

 

La vie, qui prend forme sur les objets les plus innatendus.  Une belle métaphore de cette précoce arrivée printanière ici à New York!

Séduisant travail, tout en finesse, de l'artiste Bunpei Kado.

 

 

Completely obsessed with the work of Anna Pogossova.  Do you ever ask yourself sometimes "how didn't i come up with such cool concepts?". I am having a moment like that, just now.

 

 

 

Très envieuse et un peu obsedée par le travail de cette artiste. J'adore ses compostions, choix de couleurs et la maîtrise de son sujet. Une grande source d'inspiration pour mes projets perso.

 

 

 

In a pensive state today.

Thank you Vincent Leroux for these beautiful analogies.

 

 

 

perfect oddities

 

 

I like that we have access to the the darkest places of artist and illustrator Alex Barry 's imagination through a world of sweet looking characters.

They are odd and perverted and i find his work quite brilliant, visually and conceptually.

 

 

  

 

Alex Barry est un artiste illustateur très habile.  Mais attention à ne pas se fier aux apparences, ses personnages sont loin d'être sages; ils sont torturés, de forme bizarres et ont les idées perverses.  J'aime beaucoup l'humour decallé de ses dessins.
