25.01.2022 The cemetery of innocence, in 18th century Paris, was the cause of much plague. The decision was made to move the rotting corpses into nearby disused quarries. Every night for 3 years, a procession of priest would march beside the carts full of the deceased, which were transferred deep within the darkened mines. Priests would sing for the dead, consecrating the site in order to keep it pure from corruption. From 1786 to 1814 all the overloaded cemeteries in and around Paris would send the deceased in droves to the labyrinth of bones. Gravely curious?

23.01.2022 Broken between America and Japan, artist Tomokazu Matsuyama, paints a picture of the tensions felt living in a bicultural world - of the identity between the individual and of the patriotism felt for two nations. He adopts this introspective thinking by bridging art-forms from the Edo and Meiji eras, and injecting them into a more modern framework.

12.01.2022 Freelance illustrator, Matei Apostolescu fuses the worlds of graffiti to that of digital illustration. As a child he’d do intense adult colouring books, of which includes the large blueprints of machinery, such as aircraft engines and mining equipment, which his mother brought home. From this he developed steady hands to implement an immense amount of detail in his works. Get inspiration for vandalising some colouring books here @ http://www.013a.com/
11.01.2022 Theo Prins takes his love for the aviation and travel to new heights with his passion for digital art. Roaming the lands of freelance world has brought him a sea of experience, much likened to the travels of Ulysses or Hans Solo. He’s set up a temporary studio aboard a containership, which braved the Pacific. He’s stayed in touch with the world in the vast valleys of the Himalayas, lived on a speck of an island near Hong Kong etc. The adventures he’s had can be seen in his works, which are reminiscent of Riddly Scotts Blade Runner, and that have tones of familiarity but are contrasted by the oddities of the great machines and futuristic environments that are littered throughout his art.

11.01.2022 French photographer, Dani Olivier, covers his nude models with hypnotic projections, that mirror what a person might see at the height of a psychedelic trip.

10.01.2022 This immense 18-meter tall Gundam statue was built to commemorate the iconic anime’s 30th birthday, and to rise money for the 2011 Thoku earthquake and tsunami relief effort. It was erected in Shizuoka until it was moved to Tokyo in 2012. The cultural significance of the tv series has rooted itself deep into Japanese society, to the point where stamps were made and the Japanese Self Defence Forces named their advance personal combat system Gundam.
07.01.2022 1982 was the year the artist Tom French dropped into the world. His paintings strike an elegant balance between surrealism and realism - an imitation of the inner mingling of the conscious and unconscious mind. Through this collaboration a dream-like narratives unfolds, in sometimes unsettling ways, although every oil painting Mr French creates is always eye catching.
