Paintings by Ryoko Tajiri

Ryoko Tajiri, born and raised in Japan, studied graphic design at Tama Art University in Tokyo, where she became intensely focused on studio art painting. Inspired by the Bay Area Figurative Movement, Tajiri moved to San Francisco and entered the Academy of Art University, and eventually receiving her MFA.

Tajiri’s primarily figurative work is both representative and abstract. One can easily recognize the figure or object, yet irregular geometric patterns and shapes dominate. Brightly colored backgrounds, rectangular planes, and strong contrasts evoke cubist fragmentation and a sense of depth.

Installation Art by Daniel Arsham

Daniel Arsham’s work is visceral and  yet minimal. All in white it breaks through and comes through walls. Ghostly sculptures push through walls, while the person shaped holes hint at ghosts that broke through. In an interview for The Creator’s Project Daniel speaks about the nature of his exhibit The Future Was Then:

This work for me is not about progress. It is about destruction and growth and where they are able to meet in the middle.

This exhibit is current at Savannah College of Art and Design’s (SCAD) Pamela Elaine Poetter Gallery in Savannah, Georgia until July 24, 2016. See our previous post on Daniel Arsham’s work.

“Aliens: Defiance #1″ Variant Cover for Dark Horse Comics

It’s the 30th Anniversary of Aliens this year and I’ve been lucky enough to work on a lot of the franchises art over at Dark Horse this year. This one is a cover for Aliens: Defiance, following the story of Colonial Marine Private First Class Zula Hendricks, who goes AWOL to protect Earth from an unknown alien species that’s been discovered on on a derelict hauler.

Windows that turn into balconies with a click

Bloomframe, the innovative window that morphs magically into a balcony at the touch of a button, is no longer a prototype. This revolutionary and multi-award-winning design is now in production and coming to an urban landscape near you. The first models are destined for an apartment building in Amsterdam. The product’s creators, Amsterdam-based architecture firm HofmanDujardin explain the Bloomframe window will soon become a familiar element of the modern cityscape as more architects, developers and builders realize its considerable functional and aesthetic benefits.

Alien Bonsaïs Extra-Terrestrial Tree Species by Chaotic...





















Alien Bonsaïs Extra-Terrestrial Tree Species by Chaotic Atmospheres

Last year, I had the opportunity to test the new software from E-On, Plant Factory. Meanwhile, I discovered the software from Allegorithmic, Substance Designer. Initially, I wanted to use Substance Designer to texture the trees, but Plant Factory exports “tiled” textures, which were not managed at the time by Substance Designer (but they are now). So I had the idea of ​​making bonsai trees : it allowed me to create plinths that I could texture with Substance Designer, while allowing me to create trees with more extreme forms. So I created the plinths on 4D cinema (some shapes are taken directly from my other projects). I then imported the plinths on Plant Factory to create the bonsais directly on them. I exported the composition on Substance Designer for texturing and composed everything on Cinema 4D for the final rendering. The Photoshop part was very limited on this project : I just tweaked the colors and contrasts and added some grit to the image. I finished this project last year. But I didn’t found a good way to expose the pictures : I wanted the trees of the same species to be side by side, but they looked too tiny on the old Behance layout. This changed with the new page layout and the “full bleed” option. So I have been able to publish this project, one year after its completion.
