October 28, 2021 by Arseny Vesnin in 2021, Australia, Portfolios, Street Art, Illustration

French Parisian born artist Lucy Lucy has immigrated to Australia in 2006. Currently residing in Melbourne, she has graciously carved her niche in the Australian urban art community. She has been painting murals and exhibiting in France, Australia, Canada, Thailand, UK and the US.

Lucy’s paintings capture the evolving folklore of the feminine, exploring the energy through archetypal portraits of muses, mothers and goddesses. Her symbolic imagery is an invitation to navigate the inner landscapes of the women psyche.

An important part of her creative career has focused on multiple collaborations, starting with the collective Awol crew as early as 2006. Along the years, this path has immersed Lucy’s practice in performance art, photography and fashion design anchoring her work in multiculturalism. Lucy’s public murals also often explore themes like social equality and Nature symbiosis.

Tom Blachford Photography

April 02, 2021 by Arseny Vesnin in 2021, NFT Art, Photography, Portfolios, Australia

@blachford

Working at the intersection of long exposure photography and exploration of the built environment Tom Blachford’s Fine Art Photographs seek to transform predictable and known environments into surreal and dreamlike worlds.

Obsessed with capturing the moments of clarity, colour and mystery that exist just beyond the limits of our human perception Blachford explores the ability for his camera to bridge our worlds to dark worlds beyond our reach.

Captivated by architecture, not only for its sculptural forms, Blachford’s images of homes, towns and suburbs act as the the stage for unwritten narratives that implore the viewer to script their own drama happening behind the walls of each scene.

Using only existing light sources – the moon (Midnight Modern), The neon Lights of Tokyo (Nihon Noir) or the harsh street lights of LA (Noct Angeles) Blachford hunts for the overlooked cinematic moments in the everyday and works to distil them with a sense of mystery, unease and wonder.

Silent without the sun

@demonsnap

To athletes, the Olympics and Paralympics are as sacred as time itself. The training that goes on behind the scenes is no different. The repetitions and revolutions are like seconds that make up the hour. But, what if that clock was to stop?

Silent Without The Sun showcases what happens when there is a break in the cycle. Through the sport of rowing, we showcase the resilience, commitment and training of the men and women from the Australian National Rowing Training Centres.

This powerful story is illustrated like never before – a beautiful and courageous visual experience. We champion the athletes that get up before the sun and rise to the occasion.

Loribelle Spirovski

The HOFA

December 02, 2019 by Arseny Vesnin in 2019, Art, Australia, Portfolios

Contemporary portraitist and surrealist painter, Loribelle Spirovski, is set to have her first Solo Exhibition in London at HOFA Gallery. Titled Love, Death and The Time I Knew You, this solo show will assemble select artwork from her most successful collections, showcasing her prolific talent and remarkable growth as a contemporary artist.

Born in the Philippines in 1990, this Australian artist has fascinated audiences at home and abroad with her distinctive style and approach to contemporary portraiture. Though admittedly intuitive, Loribelle's artistic style is also decidedly cerebral, rooted in the myths, music, literature, pop culture and experiences that inspire her and make her art resonate with viewers.

Her most recent works are surreal explorations of the relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit. Inspired by her experiences as a migrant to Australia, you can feel the claustrophobia emanate from the canvas. Employing disjointed bodies and hollow forms, she compels her viewers – who she describes as "meaning makers" to confront and contend with their own emotional abstractions.

Wooden Distortion by Paul Kaptein

October 16, 2019 by Arseny Vesnin in 2019, Australia, Art, Portfolios, Sculpture

Working predominantly in sculpture and drawing, Paul Kaptein’s practice is informed by notions of Pneuma and Sunyata in exploring the fluid space between form and emptiness. Motivated by the energies that exist beneath the surface of things, his work is activated through glitches, warps, spaces, gaps, holes and fissures.

Exploring the body as the interface between quantum, relative, technological, spiritual, material, psychic and conscious states, my work collapses distinctions of internal and external binaries and linear temporalities to explore notions of identity and boundaries of self.

OLIGARCHS

September 11, 2019 by Arseny Vesnin in 2019, Digital Art, Australia, Portfolios, Motioncollector

“A fever dream of sweat, gold and Synthwave music.
Oligarchs is a retro-futuristic emotive concept based on photogrammetry and 3D kitbashing.
A love letter to the bulky low-tech aesthetics of the 80s.
A synergy of naked bodies wrapped in beautiful metals.
When fashion film meets Cyberpunk meets modern art.

The year 1988, Neo Berlin Art Precinct.
An aged mobster is cheated by his trophy wife.
A government executive vanishes.
A secret has been stolen.
A girl is on the run.
A data bird holds a valuable recording.
A self proclaimed prophet’s plan unfolds.
But on this day, the whole system is turned upside down as the powers shift.”

Dir and motion design: Cornel Swoboda

Pause Fest 2019 - A New Hope

February 05, 2019 by Arseny Vesnin in Agencies, Advertising, Digital Art, Motioncollector, Russia, Australia, Events, 2019

A collaboration between Russian post-production studio LOOP and number of talented artists resulted as a motion reel for the Pause Fest 2019 starting this days in Melbourne.

’A New Hope' is a challenging metaphor for everyone affected by the tech age that still considers some developments today as normal in our culture, traditions and society. We are not programmed well enough to foresee what the exponential technology can do to our society. How much are we going to pay for all bad decisions that we are making today? ‘A New Hope’ digs deep into our worst nightmares and what could happen if we loose control over those exponential tech advances. This video depicts how popularity mixed with power can easily transform our society into unpleasant and dangerous place. We have a high hope that our collective consciousness will drive us to a much brighter, safer, happier, inclusive and prosperous place.

Kim Leutwyler (@carlosbob) is a visual artist based in Sydney, Australia. She works in a variety of media including painting, installation, ceramics, print media and drawing. Kim’s current work takes its form in paintings dealing with images of beauty, gender and Queer-identity. She has come to focus on painting as a medium because of its primarily masculine history in the western art canon. By entering into the modernist painting field Kim hopes to destabilize gender borders just as LGBTQ artists have been doing since the 70’s and earlier. Her artwork has been exhibited in multiple galleries throughout the United States and Australia.

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.

New York based Milan and Melbourne raised illustrator Ilya Milstein works mainly as editorial artist for clients include The New York Times, Kiehl's and Vice Media. In his recent series commissioned by the New York Times Style Magazine, Ilya recreates "New Yorkers and Their's 80s routines"

“These detailed streetscapes follow a character as she navigates the bustling and gritty New York of the era, crossing paths along the way with figures like David Wojnarowicz, Sylvia Woods and Andy Warhol”

— Ilya Milstein

The era might have been old New York’s last real gasp — a time when the very streets, dirty and unsafe as they were, seemed infused with possibility. Here, notable locals revisit their routes and routines, from lunch on the Upper East to nighttime sojourns to then-emerging neighborhoods like TriBeCa. - NYT
