Reality in a dream

Ronald Kurniawan graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Inspired by ideograms, syllables, letterforms, beasts and heroic landscapes, he slowly but surely continues to create a visual language where the wilderness and civilization could merge happily together. With the belief that the sublime and nuclear age could coexist, he paints romantic environments and breaks the quiet scene with juxtaposed imagery taking the shape of icons and letterforms. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles […]

We still talk about cassettes & diskettes!

10/24/2011 by chicquero

Creative and super talented Nick Gentry is a British artist that graduated in Central St Martins (so jealous!) and has his work exhibited in the UK, USA and Europe. As part of a generation, I mean, our generation that grew up surrounded by floppy disks, VHS tapes, polaroids and cassettes, he is inspired by the sociological impact of a new internet culture. His portraits combine pretty old media formats, making a comment on waste culture, life cycles and identity. Using […]
