The Next Decade of Inspiration
Carpoolers by Alejandro Cartagena |
Carpoolers is an acclaimed documentary photo series and self-published project from Mexican photographer Alejandro Cartagena started in 2011. Concerned with the neoliberal policymaking in the city of Monterrey and rapid housing expansions on the outskirts of the city, Cartagena critically documents the fissures between blue-collar urban centres and the lack of infrastructure connecting the suburban overgrowth.

“The collection of The 50 Carpoolers depicts laborers in M'exico captured from an overpass, commuting between distant suburbs and urban centers. Like much of my work, this project comes from a desire to tell the story of the dramatic environmental, economic, and demographic changes playing out in my home city of Monterrey. This series has circulated the internet since 2011 and has been exhibited widely around the world”
“From the vantage point of a highway overpass, the photographer has vividly and repetitiously documented the contract workers and tradesmen who hitch rides in the back of the trucks that will take them to that day’s worksite. As many as eleven labourers are seen at a time in open beds scattered with equipment and commercial goods; many sleep side-by-side, perhaps as strangers to each other. Provoking in its apparent ubiquitousness, this fiercely conceptual series raises concerns regarding the failure of urbanism and neoliberalism in Mexico; its ecological ramifications; and social and economic stratification—within the confines of the image itself even the driver and owner of the vehicle, concealed in the cabin and unseen to us, holds a superior status to the labourers who are exposed to the elements.“
“The way the worker is lying on the bed of the truck with the old wood really gives the sense of the invisibility of the people that build our cities. Having worked in the service industry for years myself...in hotels and restaurants, traveling for hours in buses, that invisibility was latent and a burden that is not to be taken lightly. It was also a space to build an idea of the life I wanted. 10 years, traveling 3-4hrs a day back then, has made me very thankful of my life today”

The Word Search Series by Graham Kelman |
The Word Search Series by artist Graham Kelman investigates concepts of contradiction and loss of meaning through the use of a single sculpture made from many individual sculptures. Each viewer is invited to excavate the hidden poem(s).
The artwork is designed to evolve into new works, where each glyph module moves on a system of hidden rails. New poems are composed on a regular basis.
“n 2017, I had the idea to create a modular artwork composed of smaller sculptures that could be rearranged to create new pieces. Working with @jennyholzerstudio influenced me to do something a little more direct, thinking about the alphabet as a kit of parts. I’ve been interested in the intersection of Graphic Design and Architecture, and this project was a good opportunity to explore that.
Little did I know that it would take me almost four years to complete the series. This is the first work I completed this year.
Something else was happening during this time. It seemed like words in culture were increasingly losing their power to convey a common meaning. Two different people could read the same thing and draw wildly different conclusions, almost predictably, based on their pre-affiliated tribe.
Perhaps, I could create a series of word-search puzzles that could celebrate misinterpretation, contradiction, and loss of meaning, where everybody could draw their own conclusion and choose something they could be upset about, together. I wanted it to appear beautiful and almost decorative at first, and really force people to dig out the little depressing poems inside.
Unfortunately, I didn’t really think too deeply about what it would take to conceive, design, and produce 26 custom individual sculptures, fabricated hundreds of times to create a variety of language and meaning. Each letter was a meticulous mini-project.”

Illustration and Art by Anthony Ventura |
If Viktor Vasnetsov ever joined pre-raphaelites, the art of Anthony Ventura can be their logic heritage. “A trip into the world of Anthony Ventura is a memorable one, bringing you through pop culture, horror and earth grounded fantasy turned Greek tragedy.”

“Alexandre Sou^etre is a photographer and art director currently living in Los Angeles. Born and raised in Paris, France. Alex has a minimalist approach to design and an immaculate eye for tone, often playing with scale to suspend lone figures in mid air or to encase them against a clean, concrete background.”
“Alex’s work is at it’s finest when depicting anonymous silhouettes skating alone against remote urban backdrops. The graphic lines, sweeping shadows and graffiti elements that he chooses to include in his images help to create an atmosphere and an energy that both excites and intrigues. It is because of this that you don’t need to be a fanatical skate fan to appreciate his images”

Lantomo |
Italian artist based in Barcelona Antonella Montes works under Lantomo moniker. She studied architecture in Italy, in Rome and Genoa; then moves to Spain, specialising in scenography and exhibition design. Just a few years ago, since 2010, Lantomo started to dedicate herself exclusively to painting, and her passion has definitely become a job. And in this journey, her stay of almost two years in Beijing, China, have left an indelible trace. Her drawings have become more accurate and detailed, her only colours the black and white, with touches of red, and the drawn faces have come to have Asian features.
“The graphite portraits I create are almost realistic, suspended in a personal universe between realism and vision, but I’m not interested in virtuous details, I look for the representation of the emotions of my subjects.
Drawing has always been present in my life, like a way of expressing myself. My portraits embody a feeling of isolation and introspection, involved in silence. Memory, fears and loneliness in this society are the subjects that obsess me.
I try to bring to the surface all traces of emotions behind a gaze.”

2003 by Cornelius D"ammrich |
16 months in creation, a piece inspired by LAN internet parties at the time Designcollector just started, released by gifted CG artist Cornelius D"ammrich as an NFT on @Superrare.co
View fullsize
“In 2011 I made a piece called "Ancient Area Network" which depicts a LAN Party in an old building that wasn't anything like the half-timbered house I lived in for many years, but it was my attempt to capture the atmosphere and chaos these gatherings had. I started this cycle 10 years ago with a depiction of a LAN Party and I'm closing it with another. This time with more delpherian touches to it. Mr. Wanderer is back with a whole duffle bag full of connectivity issues.”
“When I was 14, the most common LAN theme we had were birthday and weekend LANs that would go for two days and were never attended by more than 8 people. There was one LAN hosted by a student committee at my Highschool with roughly 130 people attending but that was never the norm for us. Most of us were not (yet) nerdy enough for the demo scene and we were too young and poor to attend the big boy LAN parties in early 2000 Germany.”
“The host’s parents would organize soda, snacks and a hearty alternative ("real food"). Every attendee would arrive half an hour apart and the first third of the night was usually spend with troubleshooting the network ("can anyone see me?","okay, let's all set the same workgroup", etc.), the second third was spend sharing porn, DVD rips, MP3s and games and the last part was either playing actual games or a combination of playing games and re-installing windows on someone’s PC because something broke.”

TYE DIED |
Tye Martinez is a multidisciplinary artist currently based out of Bellingham, WA. Focusing on the connection between emotions and various art forms, Tye aims to mend the preconceived notion that feeling different is not normal. Speaking of all emotions should not be considered taboo, and art can be such an excellent gateway to help normalise what it’s like to feel down or different.

Fraktality |
“It started in early 2015. As it usually happens with artists, Nick had dozens of ideas, a huge inspiration and motivation, but still had to go to his regular job.
The salvation came in the form of lentils, unexpectedly. He has been scrolling his Instagram feed and saw a weird, but remotely familiar art piece - lenticular print. And the strongest insight has happened. From this point, Fraktality Big Journey took its start. Lenticular technology has become the basic Fraktality Team feature. Sure thing, it allows to achieve the truly psychedelic and mind blowing visual effect in real life, since the artists can insert up to 50 frames of animation under the special plastic. The core idea is to create harmless visual psychedelics. Some people say Fraktality art may even provoke an epileptic seizure, so strong its’ influence on the people’s mind. And we can’t disagree.”
Fraktality is a living organism, which is spread all around the world, amazing partnerships with such persons as Eddie Alcazar, Maalavidaa, Brizbazaar,Salvi Droid, Ivimoart, Youhodler, UnityNetwork, Brockhofer, Marwan Shahin, Burgandy Viscosi, StickerSavage, Sid Wilson from Slipknot,Samuel Farrand, Bangeroo, Mifsudvision, Alexsmeat,Bucwah,Callifinkart also artists who has been successfully taught to work in lenticular technology.

Oswaldo Cepeda Photography |
The face behind the alias of moodydarkroom is photographer and artist Oswaldo Cepeda. Originally from a small town in Wisconsin, Oswaldo decided to pursue his passion of art and felt that in order to do so properly, he needed to be in a new environment. Given the sprawling hub of opportunity that Southern California offers, Oswaldo decided to move to San Diego, where he is now based out of and calls home.
Oswaldo’s main focus is portraiture; however, his portfolio also showcases his passion for digital art. His portrait work is unique, featuring the abstract lighting techniques that he is widely known for. This ultimately sets his work apart from typical portraiture, often being described as other worldly, ethereal, and poignantly emotional. He uses his work to convey feelings that cannot be put into words and strives to demonstrate the raw emotions of human nature.

Anna Dev'is and Daniel Rueda |
“Valencia-based duo Anna Dev'is and Daniel Rueda add a playful twist to mundane settings and architectural backdrops. Whether flaring a skirt into a wide, cheesy grin, posing to prop up a facade’s stripes, or gripping the tail of a balloon that looks like a tethered sun, their minimal compositions turn geometric elements and open spaces into theatrical sets ripe with humor and joy.” - via Colossal

By combining their spatial awareness and their artistic vision, primarily based on simple shapes and bold patterns, they have succeeded in establishing magnetic and joyful narratives that smartly suggest both the nature of human relations and the fascination with the urban environment.

Alexis Olin illustration |
Numerous visits to France since 1995 had a huge impact on Alexis Olin's art. Since then, painting, music, photography, and fashion have become connected in all the projects to which he relates. Despite the variety of activities, brushes with canvas and computer with digital pen remain a priority. The seven-year edition of the K9 comic book magazine and the fascination with the Franco-Belgian School of graphic novels form the basis for writing paintings and illustrations. Later, the work of the Renaissance, as well as contemporary artists from Europe and Asia, became the inspiration. Creating the M'etrique brand gives the ability to constantly display his paintings on clothing fabrics, using them as canvases, thus taking the work outside the walls of the studio and gallery. An approach to all activities like NFT art is the key to Alexis.
