March 03, 2024 by Arseny Vesnin in 2024, Art, Digital Art, Design, Spain

Digital artist Andres Reisinger, founder of unclassified studio under his name is known for his experiments that goes beyond screen as Phygital art experiments where physical intersects with digital or vice versa.

His Hortensia Chair was a first of its kind sculptural functional seat inspired by hydrangea flowers that started as a 3D rendering that soon went viral on social media.

In his recent book "Unclassifiable," Andrés presents a tactile odyssey through seven transformative years of his career. But let’s take a look at his recent phygital art installation installed in Jeddah.

Take over Jeddah

In Andres Reisinger's Take Over Jeddah, an ethereal embrace encircles an age-old edifice, ingeniously interacting with its context without making direct contact. This intentional approach provokes a dialogue on the essence and worth of architectural relics, especially those overlooked yet embodying the city’s historical and social narratives. It invites spectators to reflect on the importance of cultural heritage, urging a deeper appreciation that transcends physical form.

Jose Lopez Vergara Art

May 23, 2022 by Arseny Vesnin in 2022, Art, Portfolios, Spain

@joselopezvergara_

Jose Lopez Vergara was born in Mexico City in 1994 and raised in Madrid, Spain. In 2003 he had an accident that permanently impaired the movement of his right arm. During a long recovery period he was encouraged to cultivate his interest in drawing and develop his innate artistic abilities. Jose spent his teenage years painting murals with spray paint and creating hyper realistic drawings with coloured pencils. Having explored different creative paths, finally his interests led him to oil painting. He then went on to study classical drawing and painting from 2016 to 2021 in Florence and New York following a tradition that goes back to the Renaissance.

Vergara’s work centres on the search for an idealised representation of everyday life, current events and universal emotion. He’s influenced by art of many cultures of the past and present. Although his realist technique requires a strict methodology and rational thinking, his compositions rely on subconscious impulses and demand an abstract expression. His interest in the silhouette and minimal design plays a central role in his work and continues to open many paths for exploration.

Winter Metaverse House by Andrés Reisinger and Alba de la Fuente

January 21, 2022 by Arseny Vesnin in 2022, Architecture, Digital Art, Portfolios, Spain

@reisinger.studio

After success start of house concepts in Metaverse in 2021 by Krista Kim and its representation as an exhibition pavilion the idea of creating virtual living started evolving. Here is Andrés Reisinger and Alba de la Fuente designing modernist house in a frosty metaverse landscape. At some point they can easily swap it during the holidays with Krista’s Mars House

“Winter House is stacked on a large concrete slab to create a "floating floor", underneath which a glass box houses a chunky concrete staircase that leads visitors from the front door into the house.” writes Dezeen

“Argentinian digital artist Reisinger created the house together with Madrid-based architect De la Fuente to reflect the early 1960s projects of industrial designer Dieter Rams, while also exploring winter in the metaverse.” Echoing with functional principles of Le Corbusier “Reisinger explained that the house's expansive windows intend to connect the inside and outside spaces, all of which have been rendered with a subtle splash of pink.”

@dionisiogonzalezoficial

“In his latest series, titled Wittgenstein’s cabin, visual artist Dionisio González (more here) envisions a group of amphibious dwellings set on the Norwegian fjords. the project draws from Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein’s secluded hut, planned and built in 1914 on the steep shore of lake Eidsvatnet in Skjolden, beside the Sognefjord. Designed as prototypes for thought, the amphibious dwellings act as reflections of the world while in turn, they are reflected on the mirror of the waters.” , read more on designboom

Lantomo

August 11, 2021 by Arseny Vesnin in 2021, Art, Illustration, Portfolios, Spain

@lantomo

Italian artist based in Barcelona Antonella Montes works under Lantomo moniker. She studied architecture in Italy, in Rome and Genoa; then moves to Spain, specialising in scenography and exhibition design. Just a few years ago, since 2010, Lantomo started to dedicate herself exclusively to painting, and her passion has definitely become a job. And in this journey, her stay of almost two years in Beijing, China, have left an indelible trace. Her drawings have become more accurate and detailed, her only colours the black and white, with touches of red, and the drawn faces have come to have Asian features.

“The graphite portraits I create are almost realistic, suspended in a personal universe between realism and vision, but I’m not interested in virtuous details, I look for the representation of the emotions of my subjects.
Drawing has always been present in my life, like a way of expressing myself. My portraits embody a feeling of isolation and introspection, involved in silence. Memory, fears and loneliness in this society are the subjects that obsess me.
I try to bring to the surface all traces of emotions behind a gaze.”

— Lantomo

Anna Devís and Daniel Rueda

“Valencia-based duo Anna Devís and Daniel Rueda add a playful twist to mundane settings and architectural backdrops. Whether flaring a skirt into a wide, cheesy grin, posing to prop up a facade’s stripes, or gripping the tail of a balloon that looks like a tethered sun, their minimal compositions turn geometric elements and open spaces into theatrical sets ripe with humor and joy.” - via Colossal

By combining their spatial awareness and their artistic vision, primarily based on simple shapes and bold patterns, they have succeeded in establishing magnetic and joyful narratives that smartly suggest both the nature of human relations and the fascination with the urban environment.
