The graphic arts are all about mixing disjointed elements, which is what French artist Julien Salaud did with his Grotte Stelaire installation for the recently renovated Palais de Tokyo in Paris. The artist created a light installation for the Triennale of Contemporary Art, open in the French capital until August 6th. The precise, 3D mural inspired by primitive cave drawings is on [...]

Whenever a release goes big at the movies, the design world instantly jumps on the bandwagon of capitalizing that cultural momentum and acumen. That’s what art student Calvin Lin did right after the recent release of long-awaited superhero blockbuster The Avengers.

It was invented in 2011, and since then, BREAKFAST, the original developers, have been trying to raise the necessary cash [...]

In today’s day and age there is no limit to the media artists will use in the graphic arts, and this certainly applies to Matthew Cusick’s map work collages. The New York-based artist is actually renowned for his rendition of landscapes, humans and animals via recycled maps. He intersperses his road map and atlas fragments with cut-outs from old encyclopedias and textbooks, [...]

When it comes to photography, few names are currently more controversial than Terry Richardson, and few models as famous as Kate Upton. We’ve recently featured the American nineteen year-old supermodel in a variety of other stances, but nothing compares to Richardson’s risqué, yet funny style. Sexy as the pictures of Kate in nothing more than bikini and bra may be, there’s also [...]

Graphic arts aren’t all about graphic design, as Chaos Crew’s tattooed poster goes to show – they’re also about “getting history under your skin.” That’s the motto under which the crew operates, and what better way for the Munich tattoo studio to advertise itself than with a massive calfskin poster displaying all the major historic events that took place in 2011. “Just [...]

The series is currently exhibited at the Heide Museum of Modern Art in Melbourne, from March 24 until July 29. According to the artist herself, “this body of work [...]

We like well-done fashion photography, even when it’s a bit racy, and the ultimate collection of Kate Upton pictures below is definitely hot. Dubbed “the next super model,” Upton is a nineteen year-old American fashion model, who has most notoriously graced the cover of the Sports Illustrated bathing suit issue. There’s something very dual about Upton’s appeal in front of the camera: [...]

Modern art can prove absolutely amazing, and that’s what Paris’s Baptiste Debombourg is here to tell us, with his project Aerial, which entailed blasting two tons of glass into a former Benedictine monastery. The Brauweiler Abbey, located in Germany, has been used as the all-too-suitable site for the work in question. The installation entails recreating curtains, or perhaps an outpour of water, [...]

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen landscape photography as good as Miles Morgan’s – we had a totally tough time selecting just some pictures of his impressive portfolio. The sweeping gaze he knows how to cast across landscapes, be they of plains, rocky formations, forests at night or seas, is absolutely spectacular. His post-processing and the nearly surreal colors of [...]

If concept photography is your thing, then you’ll probably appreciate what young Spanish artist Lola Guerrera has done with her ‘Nebula Humilis’ series. More than just a simple series of pictures with colorful clouds, neatly framed by rock formations and other types of stones and mineral shapes, the photographic essay tells a story. On the one hand, it tells the story of [...]

Close-range photography of colorful fluids is nothing we haven’t seen before, but Luka Klikovac surely mesmerizes through his use of the technique. The artist, based in Belgrade, Serbia, simply has a way with capturing the random movements of colorful fluids through water. Their odd shapes are intriguing and nearly poetic. Their abstract dance invites one to meditation and wonder. There is no [...]

When we first saw the amazing sculptures produced by New York-based artist Kris Scheifele, we didn’t quite know how to put our finger on them. More simply put, we didn’t know what they were, but we knew their multilayered texture and complex materiality drew us, fascinated us and left us wanting more. We looked at her entire series and understood that, be [...]

It’s hard to bring something new to the photography table, but Crete-born twenty-three year old George Christakis seems adamant about proving his inventiveness. Christakis delivers a spectacular collection of digitally manipulated photographs, which lead us to believe that he is much of a modern-day Surrealist. He is so technically skilled at what he does that his productions are entirely seamless: you can’t [...]

Though it doesn’t exactly qualify as surrealist photography, Sabina Tabakovic’s work has a definite dream-like quality to it, which infuses the images with a sense of wonder. Through the pictures created by this Sweden-based “self-taught photographer,” as Sabina chooses to describe herself, the viewer steps into the parallel world of a modern-day melancholy Alice of sorts – or perhaps one of a [...]

Landscape and waterscape photography can be called lots of things, yet not innovative. However, Lisbon’s Jose Pombo has just proven to us that it can certainly be spectacular. The artist, who modestly describes himself as a self-taught amateur is anything but – and believe us, we’ve photographed our fair share of blurry, well-meaning yet god-awful landscapes in our day. No, Jose Pombo’s [...]

The graphic arts needn’t always be pompous and ironic, says Australian designer Bec Winnel through her series of suave female portraits. Winnel renders seductive, ultra-feminine, delicate faces into drawings. She almost exclusively uses pastel colors, yet the nearly fragile-looking characters are counterbalanced by her precise use of color and line. Her characters smile, look straight ahead or cast a sideways glance over [...]

Macro photography can be a hit or a miss, but trust British photographer Sharon Johnstone to make it a definite hit with her incredible pictures of water droplets. Sharon captured these minute details as they rest on delicate flower petals and dandelion puffs. The result poetically speaks for itself, and for the transient nature of beauty and time. You just know that [...]

Photographers, publishers and long-time friends Fabrice Nadjari and Varial came up with the Traces of Time photography project when they read a New York Times article about Afghanistan. The two 33-year olds decided in 2011 that they wanted to (re)discover Afghanistan, a country whose image is buried deep under the scars of some three decades of gore, maiming and warfare. As such, [...]

Did you know socks can be truly amazing? Well, the condition is they be used by skilled visual artist Hong Yi, who used them for an over-sized portrait of Asian pop star Jay Chou. The Shanghai-based visual and performance artist who also goes by the pseudonym of Red, used no fewer than 750 pair of socks to create a large-scale monochromatic portrait [...]
