SPOTLIGHT: 3D Illustrations by Victor Nunes
It’s amazing what artists can do with everyday objects. When put in the right context, a feather appears to be a knife, a lone grape looks just like a red balloon, and cookies can sweep the floor.
Portuguese artist Victor Nunes has taken this concept to a whole new level by pairing multiple objects together into wildly animated scenes.
Vinyl Art by Daniel Edlen
Arizona-based visual artist Daniel Edlen redefines passion for music by creating art on record players. By paying tribute to vintage and contemporary legends, Edlen combines two crafts with the aid of acrylic paint. To successfully create a portrait of an artist, Edlen prefers to compose an illustration of any musician on obsolete records, although they could be played on the flip side.
Beginning with the Beatles as his first vinyl piece, Edlen’s work has been widely recognized by VH1 and music heavyweights like Lou Reed and George Clinton. Overall the hand-painted portraitures on vinyl are composed with a classical and realistic technique, which accentuates the vintage value of a record player. You can request a customized record on Edlen’s official vinyl site here.
Michael Howard’s “Fake Aesthetics.”
Now on view at Supersonic Art Gallery is artist Michael Howard’s (aka NVM Illustration) solo exhibition of fascinating new work entitled, “Fake Aesthetics.”
Howard has a brilliant ability at portraiture and is able to capture the entire gravity of a generation through his complex, multi-layered works of art. Through sly references to pop-culture, social media and other forms of communication, Howard deals with ideas of the impermanence of our world and projecting false identities in “Fake Aesthetics.”
Howard explains, “There is something in the transition of turning an object or person into something else entirely by adding stickers, text or images onto anything that completely changes the aesthetic view of things. Take a tattooed man versus one without, the perspective completely changes for better or for worse. The same goes for objects, etcetera. The transient state of what is and what is not, has become somewhat obsessive for me and has almost conquered the restricting confinement of ‘why am I doing this’ into ‘why the hell not.’ It’s empowering being able to change an image into something completely different by adding a simple piece of text or a small image.”
Take a look at all of the work on Supersonic Art Gallery.
“TRUST” exhibition billboard
Anne Bush Design, Honolulu, Hawaii, 2002
“TRUST” is a 15- by 25-foot billboard made entirely of uncut one-dollar bills. It was commissioned by The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu for an exhibition in its downtown gallery at First Hawaiian Bank. Installed in a museum within a bank, the piece asks bank customers to reconsider their conceptions of art and museum visitors to reconsider their conceptions of money. The billboard also questions personal trustworthiness, as the money is easily accessible to all visitors from a catwalk that crosses in front of it. Moreover, it asks visitors to reconsider the trustworthiness of public officials. Created in an election year, the billboard was accompanied by a series of small cards that outlined the lack of financial support for public education in Hawaii.
