oblique




I would like to know the inspiration behind this, it's not particularly the pieces that I find the most interesting, it's the concept behind them and the meanings they produce.

The images are halved with an object that relates in some way, but it kind off gives a contradicting message, both objects with very different uses when you think about it yet each halved image can be related with the other half.

talking communication / writing communication
light emitting object / use for time of day
petrol (possible hazard) / extinguisher (safety)

Is there a connection between sound, vibrations and physical reality?




The title used as a question is what I find allows me to make relations to the images, my eyes are drawn to the points in which the lines originate and they always seem to result in meeting at one point.

Basurama



"Basurama is an organization which aims to study the inherent phenomenon of the massive production of real and virtual rubbish in the today’s consumer society providing new visions which operate as generators of thinking and attitude."

"..researched in the mistakes, horrors, and forgetfulness of the Madrid’s rubbish from the urban, perceptive, graphic, typographical and politic point of view.."

A typeface produced from the signs of shops in the centre of Madrid. The concept is of interest, which is focused on today's consumer society to produce new meanings by reproducing the already established meanings.

Wordless Book





''Wordless picture stories have a unique and specially intimate relationship to their reader. In order to follow the narrative, these works ask the viewer to decipher what has taken place, then connect the dots from one image to the next.''
-David A. Berona

A wordless book about a meaningful life.. based on a visual exploration on storytelling of 24 moments of his day over 7 days.

It's interesting to see which subjects he has decided to focus on, where he could of chosen anything, he chose to use abstract images that could mean something different to everyone, but used in this story we can almost see the journey he has gone on.

He has also shown us his own emotions within these, such as the third image where the words "bla bla" are seen, the words are confined within tight spaces, showing tension and an uncomfortable feeling towards this.

Mail Me Art




Mail Me Art is a British-based project, run by Darren Di Lieto, where a large collection of artistic work is sent in the form of mail, in some way incorporating the address. Along the way they would pick up scratches, stamp marks and generally that unintentional damage that would add to the artwork.

The deadline has just passed for the current project, but would love to take part in the next one.

Stargate Showreel



It's amazing how the smallest of things on tv nowadays have been changed or added in to make the final piece. I guess it just opens up for no limits.

Pandayoghurt



Nice portfolio of work at pandayoghurt.co.uk. The first image seems to trigger some sort of happy emotion, in which the shapes and sizes of some sort of tubes vary giving a range of different directions, the colours maybe give this piece the bright and positive feeling.
