Acrylic Cube Art by Andrew Myers

In Andrew Myers’ attempt to push the boundaries of art and get out of his comfort zone, he has created a new form of art that he calls “cube art”.  The concept was to take thousands of pixels and create a three dimensional sculpture by combining them at different heights and depths.  The end result is a stunning, hanging sculpture that when viewed up close shows no promise of being any specific image.  However, as you step back, the cubes start aligning to create the intended image with stunning clarity.

With over 1200 cubes and 800 yards of stainless steel wire, the arduous task takes months to complete.  Each cube is hand painted on the back with a different color that is mixed in our studio.  Andrew believes that this new art form has no boundaries as far as size and complexity are concerned, and we look forward to the future of cube art.

Daniel Heckscher’s Stochkolm Apartment

In the summer of 2014, Daniel Heckscher began renovating what was essentially a white box, taking an inventive, playful approach, including some input from his six-year-old son, Otis, and four-year-old daughter, India. “This project was like a workshop where I could try out ideas and materials.” In a way, that open, improvisational quality reflects Heckscher’s path as a designer. He didn’t fall into the profession immediately. With a background in economics, there was a time he thought he’d “end up like a Wall Street guy, doing finance. But I stayed clear of that, which in the end, turned out to be a wise choice.” It wasn’t until he was close to 30 that he started studying interior and spatial design formally…

With this space, Heckscher changed what he could while making other constraints work for him. The apartment is in a “quite ugly building from 1988,” he says. “It has this pinkish-orange façade that was very common at the time in Sweden… it’s not the height of Swedish architecture, 1988. I was thinking, how do I deal with this exterior color, because it’s going to be present the whole time in the living room and kitchen area.” He decided to bring it into the design, using a similar shade for those rooms, along with a super-saturated, atmospheric blue he’d used in his previous home. That continuity was important to him. Heckscher moved here after a divorce, “so this was a fresh start,” he says. But along with the new, he wanted to incorporate some familiar elements to provide a sense of security for his kids.

New Paintings on Show at Art Stage Singapore from Nunzio Paci

My name is Nunzio Paci and I am an Italy-based visual artist (b. 1977) working in painting and drawing. I have developed a practice which is concerned with scientific and environmental issues, with particular emphasis on anatomy and the man-nature relationship.

I am writing to share with you and your readers a preview of my new series of works that will be on display from 21st to 24th January at Art Stage Singapore, with gallery Officine dell'Immagine. These five paintings, never exhibited before, belong to a cycle devoted to the Baroque masters.

It would be great if you could spread the word on Cross Connect!

Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

All my best,

Nunzio
