Jeffrey Simmons Geometries in Watercolor

Jeffrey Simmons born 1968 is a painter, living in Seattle, Washington. He is represented by Greg Kucera Gallery, Inc. The artist uses of a table top mounted, rotating platform, to make many of the watercolors works sets.

The watercolors are built up, layer by layer, beginning with the lightest of washes…I continue painting increasingly darker, narrower rings until I arrive at a fine line at the center of the original ring. That line, the darkest color, has all of the previous colors underneath it…If successful, I want the paintings to have the appearance of something inevitable, if not wholly predictable.

See works in progress at jeffreysimmons.tumblr.com and follow him on Instagram.

A Simple and adorable Cat by C215

“the cat is the symbol of freedom , and freedom is what artists want. Duty paint in public to an event , with professional photographers who take pictures of you , is not the most interesting.”

Those days (April 2016), many urban artists were at the Art Paris Art Fair. Instead, C215 decided to paint for a Syrian refugee camp in Sa’d Nayil in Beqaa, Lebanon.

JinGoo : Beautiful Light That Plays Music to Brighten Your Space

JinGoo is a designer craft piece that takes the form of a bird cage and brings together the features of an ambient light and a bluetooth speaker. With this beautiful lamp that plays music, owners are invited to create a pleasant atmosphere for any space.

According to the DAQI CONCEPT design team from Taiwan, the name JinGoo is taken from ancient Chinese literature, in which it is used to describe the sweet sound of birds calling. Bird keeping is a ritual in traditional Chinese culture and bird cages are commonly seen as part of home decor. The owners, whom enjoy a carefree and abundant lifestyle, would take their birds in cages for strolls in early mornings and admire the bird’s songs while writing and reciting poetry.
