ABSOLUT BLANC BOTTLE DESIGN BY DERIN SARIYER

I am in a gap where I could walk around, slow down and speed up, where I could think a lot while going along, where I could go beyond my boundaries towards a transcendental idealism and an integrity. I am dreaming in the amidst of ideas flying high on my mind, with desire to get dimensional by multiplication out of plane... To get dimensional out of line put on a canvass, without losing one' s symbolism, by even exalting it, by taking on a function.

A metophor of evolution which gets sophisticated as it repeats itself, ending up in a scenario of arriving in a phase which is iconic with its form and colors, and which expresses comfort.

I am making a suggestion for Absolut Blanc' s journey to date, with two phases where in minimal art and       ' utilitarian design' phenomenon are interwoven, with a hybrid yet pure installation.

A story of Absolut which gets less abstract in every passing phase, becoming more self, and a simulation of transformation from a gap to an object of desire.

As is the case in all what I have done to this day, I am telling about mood of both Absolut and myself in a quiet plain language with a pure, sec and refined approach.

Materials which are different from application perspective are utilized with plain and embellishment free workmanship, in a style which whispers the underlying idea only. This self- developing aesthetics relying on minimal production style has been a goal which I always desired to achieve.

PHOTOGRAPHER ELENA NUEZ
I would like to recommend Photographer Elene Nuez. She is from Madrid, Spain. I very fascinated from her photographs. l would like the simplicty, shape and colour which she  use her photographs. I have explored her from Lamuslenis magazin. She has photo blog which name is Bicacocolor. I would prefer to share some of her works with you.  There are more  photographs in her blog. I would recommend to  see all the harmony in her photography how she would use  to link below her web page.

'' Most of your photographs are about shapes and colors. Why are these so important to you?

Perhaps professional bias. I am an endustrial designer-my job consists of creating form, adding colors, and finding the perfect balance between them.

You seem to be inspered by simple everyday things that surroun us. Is there a magical way you see things?

It's like a game: I like finding the beauty ( or magic as you call it) that hides in every thing. Who said that a twisted and rusty couldn' t be nice? You try to find that harmony between light, shade, shape, color, looking for it from all angles, and when you suddenly see it, that is the only magic.

How would you describe your own creation?

Complicated question. I would say that they are creative exercies; the technique of my photography is not very sophisticated, but the fact that they are everyday items taken out of their anviroment makes them diffrent. I learn every day and I' m always thinking of new ideas. The process is very enjoyable. I had the most.

Where else can we find your works?

You won' t find my photography anywhere because I haven' t been selling it until now, but seeing the success

I might have to reconsider don' t you think? Photography is a hobby for me. I started taking pictures of details because they served as inspiration for my paintings. The macros really helped me understand the structures of textile designs, and I' ve aıways liked mixing drawings with photography for the presentations of my designs. The first thing that will be published is a walpaper design based on phptos. The idea came from here.

What others forms of art do you like?

Painting in the broadest sense of the world. Abstract painting impresses me in particular, as it can transmit either a simple line, a color or a shape.

I had quoted this interview from Lamuslenis magazin. If you like to read more from interview, check the Lamuslenis magazin.

ZILVINAS KEMPINAS TUBE

ZILVINAS KEMPINAS TUBE VENICE BIENNALE

ZILVINAS KEMPINAS TUBE VENICE BIENNALE
Spencer Brownstone Gallery is delighted to announce the opening of Zilvinas Kempinas' major new installation 'Tube' at the 53rd Venice Biennale, which opened June 7th and continues through November 22nd.
Zilvinas was chosen to represent Lithuania by an independent committee from the Lithuanian Ministry of Culture and presents his installation at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, a majestic building designed by architect Jacopo Sansovino that dates to the 16th century and has never before been used as a pavilion for the Venice Biennale. 
'Tube', a work that the artist first realized during a six-month stay at Atelier Calder in 2008, creates a dramatic enclosed walkway over 80 feet long from stretched lengths of videotape. The work is one of the latest in a series employing Kempinas' signature medium of unspooled magnetic tape, works that have inventively exploited the strength and ultra-lightweight nature of tape to create beguiling and seemingly contradictory physical spectacles that skillfully subvert relationships with architecture, form, and space.

 LABYRINTH SALT INSTALLATION BY MOTOI YAMAMOTO

LABYRINTH SALT INSTALLATION BY MOTOI YAMAMOTO

A pioneering contemporary artist, Tokyo-born Motoi Yamamoto carves monumental two dimensional sculptures of entire oceans, shattered planets, typhoons, mountain ranges, fractured staircases and vast plains of brain-like coils using just the one medium: SALT. Every one of the artist’s saltscapes is an experience in its own right, and one of a highly metaphysical nature for the artist as well as the viewer. Yamamoto’s works have been shown across the world from Russia to the United States.
Regarding his work, the artist has said that: ''Drawing a labyrinth with salt is like following a trace of my memory. Memories seem to change and vanish as time goes by; however, what I seek is to capture a frozen moment that cannot be attained through pictures or writings. What I look for at the end of the act of drawing could be a feeling of touching a precious memory …'' For Motoi Yamamoto, his saltscapes act like a frequency that allows him to tune out of everything around him. Almost like a meditation that is actually part of a never-ending healing process following his sister’s death due to severe brain cancer at the tender age of 24, it seems that it is also the artist’s way of never letting go of this ‘memory’ he speaks of.

While he draws his poetic scapes, Yamamoto seems to enter a trance that takes him far into the depths of his consciousness and into a world of peace and tranquility; in fact, while he creates, he appears far removed from reality, no matter how many observers surround him. Each installation is a metaphysical experience, one that hypnotises the viewer, and that puts the world on hold, a restful and peaceful experience where the viewer is completely absorbed in the repetitive ritual of the artist’s hand and awakens only once the final image appears as a whole.

Motoi Yamamoto’s repetitive and very precise ritualistic sweeps of the hand while he traces the patterns on the floor recall the repetition of a monk’s chants during prayer. His works clearly physically recall Tibetan monks’ mandalas, which are colourful sandscapes, also loaded with symbolic importance and intense emotion. Unrushed, the artist seems to trace for the sake of tracing, almost as an obligation in order to remain sane.
The only artist to use salt in this way, Yamamoto’s choice of material isn’t a coincidence. In Japanese culture salt is a highly significant symbol for the source of life as well as being a purifying element and is often used in ceremonies celebrating life and death. Reminding of the temporality of life, regardless of the number of times the artist repeats his saltscapes, the experience remains a transcendental one that is as magnificent as it is temporary.

In fact, after each show, the artist always takes the salt back to its origin, back to water, in a ceremony entitled Return to the Sea, which for him is just as important as creating the work itself. The salt goes back to the sea, just like a body goes back to the earth after death, thereby symbolising the evanescence and transience of life.
Motoi Yamamoto has been applying himself to his brilliant-white salt sculptures since 1994 and has dazzled the world – a world that is in constant motion and upheaval - with his diligence and serenity. Transcending external movement and his own internal turmoil, he continues to pour himself entirely into this perpetual exercise, which so far, has lasted two decades.
