Use for art history and especially for composition and color techniques

Après s'être concentrée pendant plusieurs années sur le paysage de déserts, Catherine Gfeller choisit New York pour se tourner vers le paysage urbain; Elle crée de longues "Frises urbaines" dans des compositions soit horizontales soit verticales. Obternues par montages, collages et superpositons d'images, elles recréent un univers urbain à la fois proche et éloigné de la réalité de New York. Puis elle s'installe à Paris et crée de larges ensembles qui mêlent éléments architecturaux et personnages. Récemment Cather!ine Gfeller explore la vidéo et le son pour traiter de sujets plus personnels. Ses dernières pièces (installations vidéos, installations sonores et projections) sont de véritables univers romanesques: en mélangeant les données autobiographiques et fictionnelles, il s'agit dès lors d'évoquer la vie intérieure de personnages proches de nous aux prises avec leur quotidien ou en interaction avec le défilement de la ville. Depuis 1988 Catherine Gfeller a exposé ses travaux au Canada, aux Etats-Unis, en Israël, en Argentine, au Chili, en Angleterre, en Allemagne, en Belgique, en France, en Hollande, en Italie, en Slovénie et en Suisse, où ses oeuvres se trouvent dans de nombreuses collections publiques et privées. Elle participe régulièrement aux foires d'art contemporain comme Art Basel, Art Unlimited, Kunst Zurich, Armory Show, la Fiac, la Biennale de Ljubjana et Art Bruxelles.

The design for the Kaohsiung Cruise Terminal by Emergent is interior driven, biasing building section, and interior spatial effects. The goal is to create a cavernous space which will appear simultaneously massive and lightweight. The project oscillates between volume and surface, avoiding the limitations of exclusively surface-based and volume-based architectures. The Port Services Center, made up of string of hard elliptical volumes, is pushed down into the soft bubble of the Ferry Terminal, so that exterior skin becomes interiorized. This nesting action allows for functional division between the programmatic elements while creating complex interior formations. While the Ferry Terminal is oriented towards the inside, the Port Services Center- consisting primarily of offices- is oriented towards the outside, with views out to the city and the ocean. It is a building within a building. The skin of the Ferry terminal is constructed out of transparent ETFE membrane and hard fiber-composite Armor Plates. These Armor Plates operate as both structure and ornament. They create stiff zones in the skin where the membrane can be affixed. Ultimately, the construction system is a hybrid of shell and membrane construction types- what we now call Shell-branes. A pattern of color flows over the armor, both responding to underlying formal features, and at times becoming graphic. Similar to a butterfly wing, coloration follows competing criteria, such as structural and optical pattern logics. Gradient effects begin to blur boundaries between opacities and transparencies, creating unifying visual crossovers between the two systems of the Shell-brane. The open space to east and west of the buildable area is designed as new kind of park, which does infrastructural work as well as supporting the picturesque. It is an organic machine, where energy is cultivated and grown inside algae photo-bioreactor pods. Using sunlight as well as artificial light at night, these pods gener

very well developed description + analysis of the Romantic tradition

Killer JeansTo be honest, Taxi Design Network is quite a place to see something you would never dream of seeing. Take the work you see, Killer Jeans, of this Indian illustrator/designer/artist Sameer Kulavoor for example, strength, composition, skill, and execution are all there in a single piece. In his résumé, he said "without any particular background in graphic design, his liking for art led him to exploring different mediums," and from my point of view, the variety of his works is a solid proof that you would bookmark his website and be a faithful admirer. At 22yrs of age, he has worked internationally in areas like illustration and design for editorial and advertising; motion graphics and animation for web, television and cinema. He has created two Music videos, a few shorts and hundreds of illustrative designs for a vast and varied portfolio of clients, from MNCs to Music Bands. Go take a look, especially when you are desperate for some fresh inspiration. - ian

Certainly not every deviant has more than 445,000 visitors (or ever will), but this can only be tranlated as a mere fact that Mr. Jasiniski has something special in his works (as the left image called "The Drummer") that reminds you of songs like "Can't Takes My Eyes off of You." It's quite a long journey if you wanna take a trip through his visual gallery, but it's never tiring but pleasing and refreshing. From simple composition to crowds of cartoon characters, from deadly facial expressions to barely possible combo of colors, his aesthetic power never stops but always explodes in each work. My instinct let me bookmark his page immediately and jot down those words, as for my nature, it tells me uniqueness can't happen unless you run into it at times.

I love stumbing upon something beyond my expectation. Today I checked out my account on terminus1525.ca, found a name listed under Recent Visitors, and I can't help but clicked on the link. That's when I was drawn to the abyss of imagination of Jean-Félix. This artist created something that is soft, solid, organic, futurist and dynamic. The way he plays with composition and colors are really incredible for a guy who is only 26. Do pay attention to his details - that's how you feel the power of his ART.

an artist i found through imagekind. i enjoy all the colorful illustrations like a 5 years old. A genuine artist mastering colors, imagination and composition. Highly recommended
