Art

*JEFTA*

Jefta is young (24), Jefta is talented, Jefta loves art, and, most of all, Jefta is mad about the human body. His photographic work revolves around the body, exploring it in various creative ways, from lighting to projecting, from freezing to fragmenting, constructing and deconstructing, always questioning and finally refining a very personal statement.

Jefta Hoekendijk, or simply JEFTA, is the name behind this stunning photo series, entitled Human Sculpture.

Uncommon Matters

Brancusi- The Newborn sculpture, 1920

 

*In the beginning it was  Art, then came Design and all the Fashion stuff… almost a hundred years later. Every time I think about Brancusi, I see the real true visionaire.

 

Spatial Yellow

Anish Kapoor – Yellow, 1999

That’s not a trompe l’oeil painting, that’s a fibreglass and pigment sculpture. The negative space  used in such a “positive” way. Looks pretty fantastic, huh? Here’s another Kapoor lesson of re-inventing space by smart simple means and genuine use of true colors.

Playin’ With The Flags

I was really impressed when I came across these images. These are flags, actually Romanian flags, reworked by American artist Andra Ursuta.

 

The Deep Surface

It’s useless to point out the ability of painting to reveal genuine surfaces, stronger and deeper than any photographic or textile technique. Digital printing is simply not enough (yet).

Talking about painting, Willem de Kooning is in the spotlight again; check out his current retrospective at MoMA.
