Striking Street Murals

Fantastic Street murals by French artist Philippe Baudelocque. Most of his street murals of animals are created with impermenant mediums like chalk or white oil pastels. Each animal is created with a mosaic of delicate line work in the form of organic and geometric patterns that merge to form each piece. Baudelocque most recently participated in the ongoing BergeStreet art event along the banks of the Seine in Paris. Via This Is Colossal.

Fleurs from 1929

Fleurs: texte et vingt-six planches en couleurs (1929). That's the lovely no-bullshit-title of a book by Serge Gladky with – what I would call – a perfect collection of geometric forms and nice colours in playful combinations! Serge Gladky was a prominent figure in the Art Deco movement and a leading precursor of modern abstract art. Beeing a French architect, designer, and graphic artist, who was active during the 1920s and 30s, he was primarily renowned for his cubist style, and his decorative abstract prints were characterized by the creative, harmonious synthesis of geometric forms derived mostly from nature. Simple? Yes! Love it? Yes! Via Present and Correct.

KowwBoy

After working as a digital creative for commercial companies, Amsterdam based artist and designer SIT decided to stop the madness in 2008 and went back to head and handcraft to slice away the fat. Well I'm glad he did because I really enjoy these edgy and poetic illustrations from the series Kowwboy - made with spray paint on sandblasted glass. It's like you can actually see through the animals eyes and get the personality of the boy especially the lion and the dog – it's comforting and scary and at the same time. Via Lustik.

Watercolour Wonders

Watercolour and fashion is a match made in heaven! Especially when it comes to these fabulous icecream-coloured fashion illustrations by New York based Swedish illustrator Mats Gustafson. When he began his career as an illustrator in the late 1970s, editorial illustration was eclipsed by photography, and watercolor as a conceptual medium had barely been explored. So thank God that he had the guts to throw himself in the watercolour arena and win the battle over this extremely delicate but impossible technique. Via The Jealous Curator.

Use your Imagination

I love the fact that these talented drawings by Melbourne based artist and illustrator Evie Cahir seem kind of unfinished, and yet you can still very much feel the present of life and start imagine the untold story behind the unfinished people. Clever and beautiful made ! Via Lustik.

Collected Collages

Sarah Bridgland’s diminutive paper creations inhabit the territory between sculpture and collage. Delicately fashioned out of second-hand ephemera collected from junk shops and fragments of Bridgland’s own printed media, they create spaces where the real and the imagined co-exist, where fact and fiction collide. Each piece is a myriad of textures, shapes and lettering, reflecting Bridgland’s interest in the formal concerns of the Russian avant-garde and Constructivism. Via Present and Correct.
