Top 10 Nov 14

Welcome to yet another Top 10 creative nuggets from the past week.
If you for some reason would hate all my posts this week, why not try a totally different blog of mine, Moustair, Where men meets moustaches meets hair meets moustaches meets hair meets MOUSTAIR.


Enjoy.

1. Straulino








About:

Straulino's pictures are unic. With his eagerness to experiment and his courage to try new things he partially alienates pictures so that they almost have an abstract effect. The models become sculptures - richly colored, dazzling and exotic. A whiff of eroticism touches consciousness and subconciousness at the same time. In this way, Straulino answers the questions what is beautiful on a human being or what makes it beautiful in his very own, so far unseen way.

2. Effelle











Filippo Del Vita and Laura Garcia Serventi met while studying at the prestigious Center for Contemporary Photography "Fondazione Studio Marangoni" in Florence.

Filippo born and raised in Italy had been early introduced to photography by his grandfather and Laura, Argentinean, became interested in the medium when attending the School of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires.

Ever since they met, a profound collaboration grew between them.

Their Italian years were mostly devoted to art. Their work has been selected by numerous awards and exhibited at the Triennale of Milan, the Contemporary Art Fair Artissima, the Biennale in Reus Spain, the Fotofestiwal in Poland, the Lodz Festival in Lithuania and the Italian Foundation of Photography just to mention a few. Meanwhile they also started working on fashion and still life projects and their work is regularly used for advertising and published in American and International magazines.

They live and work between Milan and New York where they founded Effelle Photography.

7. Sylvie Zijlmans






About:


"Over the last five years Sylvie Zijlmans has created photo works of an intimate world in which something unspeakable has taken place. Mysterious events that are certainly possible but highly improbable. Bacteria are spat back and forth across the table. Smoke rises from mugs, glasses and bottles. The people in these images have witnessed something terrifying. They confront us menacingly, like giants. Though greatly enlarged these photo works are extremely sharp. In combination with the method of presentation - sometimes merely a loosely suspended backlit transparency - this sharpness is confronting and alienating. Zijlmans' oeuvre is contentious, experimental, and creative. it teems with the ideas and multiple associations.

Sylvie Zijlmans' extraordinary visual eloquence has led to her being invited to participation Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen's H&F Mecenaat, a patronage program that allows the museum to collect and exhibit the work of internationally important contemporary artists. I would like to thank the artist for her commitment to this project. The museum is greatly indebted to its patron Han Nefkens who has made both the exhibition and publication possible through his financial support".
