ben + sarita COULTATE’s aerial photographs of the namib desert defy scale and texture in their careful compositions. the photographs beautifully capture a myriad of complex geometries and conditions of the sand’s formations.

mesmerizing eyes caked with eyeliner pierce through high-gloss magazine spreads in the work of miles aldridge. in his photographs beauty is amplified to the point of plasticity. models read as mannequin androids frozen in his intensely saturated color palette. over the top glamour is refashioned into stunning compositions of color, light and figure. hyper-surreality explodes into vivid hues that beautifully juxtapose the porcelain skin of his subjects.

christophHERMANN: current architectural approaches succeed in conceiving coherent structures through different operations of morphology. through the gradual change of single components space looses the variety of sensations. techniques as growth and evolution offer the advantage of pertaining the legibility of particular areas with their specific characteristics, sensations, and atmospheres within the integrity of the whole.

utilizing the computer as the medium instead of merely a tool, c.e.b. reas creates aesthetically sophisticated scripted images. through processing, of which reas is co-creator, minimal text expands organically into exquisite compositions of overlapping textures. varying from finite objects to infinite fields, the computational creations leave typical digital imagery behind in favor of a new formula for fine art.

siamak ruhi DEHKORDI: the ferrari zobin concept is a design study focused in aerodynamic single seater with compact dimensions . the zobin concept is an aerodynamic sportscar inspired by ferrari formula 1 cars and the cockpit of the fighter aircrafts. also the designer has try to use of the ferrari design languages.
the exterior design is characterized by the original front structure made of a metal coated band, which supports the headlights and integrates the front spoiler and the front fenders, and gives the car an “open-wheels” look.

the installations of alyson shotz oscillate between the natural and the artificial. she investigates shimmering reflections and pseudo biological cellular structures through spatial objects. her work resembles natural topologies that are then mutated through distortion of form and material. space and light are refracted through material manipulations at a variety of scales as the object simultaneously interacts and defamiliarizes its surroundings

if illustration and photography were to have a lovechild it would look a lot like the work of alberto seveso. in his work, seveso contrasts the simplicity of the human figure with the complexity of his elaborate illustrations. color and line acts as a parasite that invades the medium of the photograph. the illustrations are not merely branded onto skin, but actually swallow it and shred it into swirling figurations. limbs become lines and hair becomes pattern as the illustration occupies the middle ground between figure and field and allows the boundary between 2d and 3d to be completely dissolved.

noraGRAW: meet the topic of mutation which architecturally fuses cartesian systems with organically evolved geometries. the states of evolution express continuity within the new body and are repeated in scale, variation of parts and surface articulation to create unique spatial conditions.

translucent liquid veils of color travel through space and time in the ethereal worlds of artist chris parks. free of digital manipulation, parks creates sophisticated graphic compositions with mixed media suspended in liquid captured with photography. as a former engineer, parks has turned his studio into a laboratory for the study of the complexity of liquefied forms and their interaction with other organic matter. volcanic flows warp into sea anemones that extend into draping fabric dissolving expectation in his “fluid paintings.” through still images, parks captures movement beautifully before it inevitably disappears.
