Big horns for Smallhorns

London based artist  Sophie Smallhorn exhibits internationally and is commissioned by both private and corporate clients. And I see why. Her talented work explores the relationships between colour, volume and proportion in such a beautiful, graphic way. It looks so simple but trust me - it ain't! Since I loooove wood I choose to show her work with wood and acrylic, but do yourself a favour and check out some of her silkscreen prints here and here. Via Trendland.

W for Wauw or for Whitney Museum

The redesign is in preparation for The Whitney's move from is current location on Madison Avenue to a new museum designed by Renzo Piano at the start of the High Line. Via HUH Magazine.

Lido di Jesolo

 I've never been to Jesolo Beach in Venice but I've seen and stayed in my share of obscure holiday appartements in my childhood. The real mission in this series Behind the Edge by Manhattan based photographer Luigi Bonaventura is to show each structure as its Platonic ideal: that is, as the architect imagined it, not as it all too often looks in real life and mixing color encourage your own imagination around the picture.

Minimalism to its Maximum

The art by textile designer and artist Vibeke Rohland, living and working in the heart of Copenhagen, is rooted in tradition as well as modern contemporary art. It seeks the basic form of pattern, the geometric simplicity and minimalism to its maximum, and she has neutralized the content of symbols via the juxtaposition of the signs and their reduced form. Her work goes straight in to my simple graphic designer heart and fills it with total pleasure!
