B EAUTIFUL – BODY CANVAS

Posted on 16/05/2012 by Fashion Team
BODY-CANVAS

The term blank canvas has never had so much meaning, since artist Craig Tracy turned the untouched naked body, into his own easel and canvas board. Since getting into body painting in 2002, Tracy has been contacted by countless models wishing to be painted, maintaining that he never uses agencies or websites to find his canvasses. The models are incorporated into a large scale picture, sometimes with backdrops, sometimes solely a naked body transformed into beautiful art. What began with a need to work with different surfaces, led to painting faces, then using the full body. The artist’s favourite composition is [...]

B AMAZED – WIRE MESH ART

Posted on 15/05/2012 by Fashion Team
MESH-ART

Bringing something amazing to the ordinary is artist Seung Mo Park, who uses an unusual material that would normally go untouched in a scrap yard in an interesting juxtaposition of delicacy of design, and coarseness of material. The process begins with a photo shoot just like any other. Once the photos are chosen, Seung Mo Park goes into the studio and begins clipping away at the wire mesh, following the projection of the image. Projections of the images are used as a reference, used to create light and dark areas of the metal. Several pieces of the mesh are layered on each [...]

FAIRY-TALE-CASTLE

Looking at these photos you may think you are looking at images from one of the many popular fantasy films out there today, think Lord of the Rings or Snow White, when really you’re looking at Germany’s stunning Neuschwanstein Castle. The castle was built in the late 1800’s and was opened to the public in 1886, as it was originally supposed to be a retreat for King Ludwig the 2nd of Bavaria, but he died before it was ever completed. These breath taking photos show only a small amount of the impact the castle has, not only in size but [...]
