Last week's exhibitions and new inspirations

Last week, I have visited two exhibitions: "The Brain"  at Wellcome Collection and Bauhaus at Barbican. I must say that I was not blown away by them, but certain elements I've found interesting...
The "Brain" exhibition was not about functions of the brain, but rather an outlook at what have been done to the brain in the last century by humans in the name of medical research etc. The below image was certainly my favourite.... It is called "Brainbow Mouse"

Basically in 2007 a team at Harvard developed a technique, which showed individual neurones in the brain, as each neurone expresses a group of coloured proteins and reveal interconnections within nervous system.
The photographs are digitally enhanced... But I just think WOW, love it!!


Then I visited Bauhaus exhibition, and yes it was very good, but I just felt I have seen it so many times,especially if you have studied at LCC you will know what I mean.... but still certain pieces are timeless like the chair and the product design just in general quite timeless....

I was just flicking through a few blogs, and then I came across Vladimir Markin's website... He is a Russian Jewellery Designer. O my god just love him.... check out his pieces...He is defo my favourite at the moment, and the rest of his collection is pretty impressive, especially the one called "Bridges".

Mind blowing Tom Dixon.....

I work next to Tom Dixon's complex, and I never really paid attention to product design so much up to now, until I came across Tom Dixon's shop....
Check out his designs.... So thought through, even the shadows.

Young and wonderful....

I have decided to take up blogging again...as with my job, i need constantly to look and see interesting and inspiring images, graphics etc and just recently came across two young graphic artists, whose work is absolutely brilliant. James Kirkup is only 21 but his graphics are so inspiriting and remind me of "New Order" early album covers.
Extremely talented, and his designed album cover list speak volumes. Here is some of my favourites...

As i have been searching for James's work, I came across very interesting visuals by Kate Banazi. Her basic shapes and layering technique is so inspiring, making me try to experiment with the basic shapes..Her work is silk printed
