Cheap Modern DeskThe Humanities. The ABC of Humankind.
Mix a focused message with some modern architecture and a little typography and you get yourself a pretty cool art installation. I have seen similar effects where the viewer has to be in the right place to get the idea but not on this scale. The focus was on the Humanities. Our mission: to make the abstract “Year of the Humanities” as visible as possible in public spaces.
Miranda Kerr by Nino Muñoz for Numéro Tokyo June 2012
I love me a good fashion shoot in a retro modern setting. The photographer and the fashion editor get high props for this layout in Numéro Tokyo June 2012. I am really liking the walkway done in circular pavers, nice to see something other than square. The choice of mid century modern homes is spot on as well.
Artist Eva Hild
The organic movement conveyed by artist Eva Hild’s sculptures are quite perplexing and beautiful at the same time. The way my mind thinks is “how did she make these?” instead I should just appreciate how beautiful and complex they really are.
My sculptures are bodies, exposed to pressure and movements. On one hand, it is the mass in thin layers, running in a meander-like closed movement. On the other hand it is the empty space, air and light forming volumes, described by the contures of the mass.
Sculpture by Yoskay Yamamoto
So how amazing are these modern sculptures by Yoskay Yamamoto. I refer to them as modern because of the simplicity in shape and the uniformity of surface. The expressions have such a calming disposition. My favorite are the girls with antlers, they would look killer in a grouping of three, maybe hung totem style.
Plya Collection by Studio 1a.m.
I don’t really post a whole lot of jewelry here on Plastolux but when I do it has to have a modern aesthetic. The Plya Collection by Studio 1a.m. is a perfect union of two materials that create a killer accessory. I could sport one of those rings in walnut.
The Plya collection celebrates the interaction of two opposing materials: wood and aluminum. Negative spaces in wood are completed with metal accents questioning the concept of preciousness. In this work, the gem exists in the negative spaces allowing metal and the individual to become focal points.
Sculpture by Michael Kukla
I love the intricacy going on in these modern sculptures by Michael Kukla. I can’t image the steady hand and concentration it would take to produce these stunning pieces of art. I really appreciate the materials used, the marble ones have to be my favorite.
