2010-05-15T07:09:00.000-07:00

Recently I came across with David Kassan's artworks on a METRO Newaspaper while i was on the way home.And i found it very interesting as his all paintings so life -like.And i visited his portfolio on his site.Belows are an amazing drawing by David Kassan in New York City.As it was mentioned in the newspaper,he indulged his passion for painting after he lost his graphic designer job during the 9/11 New York terror attacks.

Watch his small speech on his work here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI6FjxX-t4Q&feature=player_embedded#!

These art works are experimental with colors.

Colors

2009-12-29T11:32:00.000-08:00

This is an experiment with colors.The initial idea was to create Christmas card.However eventually it ends up as a wall art( based on abstractive image).

T-shirt design and templates

Asmara is the capital city of Eritrea.The typography in the art work is pronounced as 'Asmara' in Tigrinya language.Asmara which literally means "the four united" is the common language that is used to communicate among the Eritrean people.

The first image below is 'Beles',local word for wild cactus fruits, a common source of income for many underpriviledged families in the poor Horn of Africa country.

The following image is symbol for the way we pronounce number 1 in Eritrean language(my mother tongue).It is the first number that opens a door to count the rest of the numbers (1,2,3...which is hhade,Klte,Seleste...)

Templates and T-shirt design

2009-09-27T17:11:00.000-07:00

These are some of the templates and t-shirt design that i have made using my font (which was designed based on aviation).The texts are phrases that are used for the internet shorthand and emoticons which most people used when they send message via internet or mobile or whenever the chat electronically.I specifically used my font because they can stand out with bold color.

2009-09-10T13:59:00.000-07:00

Recently i had visited Ikon Gallery in the Brindley place,Birmingham.These pieces of work were from an artist called Carmen Herrera who was born in Havana,Cuba in 1915.I like her work particularly for its formal simplicity with less colors.She normally used two colors and focused on pure geometry,such as line,color,and space.The way she used the simple colors worked well as they are painted in perfect composition and layout.I like the bright colors as they can grab your attention from a distance in the art gallery.Especially they stand out from the white wall of the gallery.

Final_Major_Project show in our FEED studio Birmingham

2009-07-02T07:06:00.000-07:00

My final major project in the FEED Studio Millennium Point,Birmingham.The idea behind my work is personal interpretation of the suburban houses which were built during Victorian era.I used the pyramid shape paper sculptures to represent the triangular shape that is found at the top roof of each house.All the graphic elements such as images,textures and texts on these paper sculptures represent Birmingham.
Suburban environment not only about the houses but it is also about the movement and noise created in the surrounding.My animation is mainly focused on the audio (such as traffics,thunder,city morning etc...)produced in this environment.

My posters showing personal interpretation of architectural work.

The above poster was designed based on life brief for the 'Nail Carer' service provided by NHS.The idea was to design contemporary logo and poster that is slightly medical and Hair and Beauty Salon.

These are some of the images that i am using to build up the paper sculptures to display the suburb buildings and its surrounding.

reference

2009-05-18T01:15:00.000-07:00

These is an article that I found this morning from the METRO today.I put it in my blog because it has an element that is similar to my paper sculptures(such as line and texture and also they are made out of papers.)They are paper sculpture made from cut-up accountants' ledgers by Jill Sylvia.She created this famous buildings by cutting out tens of thousands of paper squares.She creates grids using the boxes on the paper.Basically she was inspired by her father(who is an accountant)to produce these sculptures.

Inspiration _ reference

2009-05-17T13:26:00.000-07:00

These are screen grabs of animation from the Universal Everything.Video directed by Karsten Schmidt.It was produced for Advanced Beauty Film Series project.It is really fantastic short film.The combination of the moving image and the audio are effective.I like it because it has an element ( such as colours and textures) that i am trying to achieve with my animation that will display about the suburb architectural houses.Basically in this particular short film,the movement of the objects seems as if they are floating in an open air space.Because there is no image (in the background) that contradicts with the colour and texture of the moving sculptures.You can clearly see the beauty of the moving sculptures with the timing of the soundtrack.It is effective even though there is no texts or words in the film.I can say that the audio gives the moving images more life.Without the soundtrack,the movement doesn't give sense at all.This is something i want to use in my animation.

These are some of the artworks produced by different artists in different art movements(such as Constructivism,Cubism,Futurism,and New Generation or Minimalism.I like their artworks because it creates good composition using lines,shapes,colors,and textures.They have got elements that i want to use in my triangular sculptures that represents the suburb architectural building in Birmingham.All these art works produced with different mark making techniques(including the collage,physical sculpture or materials and painting techniques.)The way they display texts with images is one thing that i like about these art works.For instance the first art work by Stepanova,was produced using photographic image of building along with some other collaged papers (with texts to give it more life.)It is obvious that the Constructivism was influenced by the works of Pablo Picaso,who has produced artworks using bits of cardboard,string,and other odd items.

The above artwork is by Stepanova,Varvara Fedorovna

The above work is by Barque,George.Again the Cubism art movement is one of the basis for my triangular sculptures.His work gave me an idea how to display architectural landscape.

A contemporary critic,Louis Vauxcelles,stated that Braque 'despices form and reduces everything,landscapes and figures and houses,to geometric patterns,to cubes'.The accusation is understandable but unjust.The details here may be disregarded(no doors or windowsin the houses,no leaves on the trees)- Braque does not even distinguish between the houses and the hills that surround them - yet he makes strenuous efforts to give a sense of reality in terns of palpable mass and three-dimensional depth. Source: The World's Greates Art (Modern Art) by Michael Kerrigan

According to Braque 'The senses deform,the mind forms'.If we see his artwork that displays House at L'Estaque,you can tell that they look like houses because of their three dimensional form even though they don't have the basic things that makes them like a real house.He just used some tree and paint the cubes with different perspectives.I am using the smae techniques to display those suburban landscape by adding some textures to the triangular objects.You can tell by looking the textures on the papers what those pyramid shape are about.I want to show the viewers the suburban landscape using the same method Braque applied.Just by using different texture o papers together with texts and colors.

2009-05-15T10:56:00.000-07:00

The followings are some of the images that inspires me to produce the triangular shape sculptures.The images shows the Victorian time English house which has got the pyramidic shape at the top of each house.I thought this unique shape has got some cultural references like the pyramid in Egypt.So i decided to find out more about the Victorian time suburb houses.This leads me to made research about other triangular shapes architecture built in Birmingham and some other countries.Although i couldn't get any traditional or cultural background that has related to the triangular shape,i came up with an idea to display this unique shape in a graphic way.The sculptures that i made represents those triangular shape houses.Above all the forms and the different textures that surrounds the triangle has given me the direction to produce lots of that shapes with different colors and materials.

Some of the animation that displays suburbs architectural structures.The primary aim of these animations are to show different structures that is combination of colors, textures,line,texts,shade,volume,and materials in an abstract way.

The following are some of the works done by Rob Ward.The first three which he describes as 'Marriage',that refers the traditional architecural form of the Christian church and/or cathedral.The other four which he describes as 'Gate'.

His work gives me the idea how specific work can provide solutions for particular space.

2009-04-22T04:18:00.000-07:00

I have been looking to different artists work from the 21st Century(particularly those who make sculptures).Among them,Sophie Smallhorn who designed different sizes of cube which are randomly scattered in a particular space,has given me lots of inspiration.Her different colored boxes has a great influence in my work.
