Paintings by Josef Kote

Josef Kote is an Albanian-born (in 1964), New York-based visual artist.

The paintings of jJosef Kote are symphonies of light and color. They are lyrically stunning and  romantic, edgy and current. Kote achieves this delicate balance of seemingly contradictory  qualities through his complete mastery of technique and through years of experimenting to  find his own unique style. 

With the lightness of a true master’s hand, he combines classic  academic and abstract elements, fusing these, literally letting them run into each other with  dripping rivulets of riveting colors and light: by using his signature drip effect along the  bottom. Quotes trademarks are his bold brushwork, and sweeping strokes of vibrant colors  applied - more often than not - with a pallet knife while other areas of the canvas are left  monochromatic and devoid of detail creating a negative space that lets the eye drift to  infinity. The results are paintings that tremble in stillness with energy and light.

Wonderful Art from Stewart Edmondson

Painting outside is definitely the place for me to be. I simply feel alive out there…up on the moor or down by the sea. The energy of the place is what sparks in me.
Working outside - the painting often has to be fast and dynamic, because of the changing light and weather…but for me that is a key part of the process - allowing something that is beyond my control to come through…or to come from the place into the painting. It can be direct, like rain falling or wind moving the paint. With that unpredictability comes the magic - the alchemy of it…

Seth, Street art journeys in China

Seth is painting children he meets during his trips. A principle that Seth alias Julien Malland, applied for over 10 years by putting on the walls of every continent silhouettes of his frail children and dreamers, recognizable among a thousand.

Seth wants to absorb and the atmosphere of the place, its history, and especially what inspired his people in a fruitful exchange .These series of photos covers his journeys in China. The first one, “The Masks” was created with calligrapher Hong He Ping. 

The last fourth is about the metamorphosis of the country. On the last image, the red sign is sadly known by the locals mark “Tear-Down” - Half the houses will be demolished within 20 years on the disposable cities of China. And next to it, the writings means (from a very well-known poem): 

“The sound of thunder at night, the falling of flowers"

Adroit Cargo e-Bike Makes Carrying Goods a Hassle-Free Experience

Adroit is a cargo e-bike designed to blend minimalism, modularity, and sustainability so as to make carrying goods a hassle-free experience. This is an experiment to reap the benefits of the advancements in the current day propulsion and manufacturing technologies by applying them to a typical Danish Long John freight cycle. The looks of the bicycle are kept intact to retain the feel and experience of riding a bicycle from the bygone era. One of the unique features of this bicycle is that, it provides the freedom of completely customizing the cargo space using cost-effective and sustainable modular elements made out of recycled plastics. This concept bike won a merit award at 20th International Bicycle design competition held in Taipei earlier this month.

Designers : Vimalesh R. Mallya and Srinidhi Sreenivasan
