In the artist’s own words: “I simply love to see how painting can change when it appears in different spots spatially. It can be on or next to a canvas, it can be compressed or expanded, and so on. I never decided to leave the canvas and go somewhere else.

Grosse uses a spray gun to color the soil and incorporates a variety of unexpected objects including balloons, canvases, and clothing in the work. The result is an imaginative, unearthly space that really excites the mind’s eye.

Graphic Design from Maiko Gubler

The Swiss-Japanese artist Maiko Gubler belongs to the creative group in Berlin, originally moving to Germany because she was “charmed by the rawness, the undefined space and the inherent history of Berlin in the 90s.”  She works in a variety of mediums — illustration, sculpture, 3D modeling, and graphic design — and all of it is well crafted.

The images above are fantastically crisp, driven by blue skies, clean lines, and bright tile.

The melting metal reminds me of gallium, which will turn liquid in your hand (at 29.76 °C  / 85.57 °F to be exact).

Balloon Tank from Hans Hemmert

I recently stumbled across this sculpture made back in 2007 by Hans Hemmert, a Berlin-based artist. It is called “German Panther.”  In time, the balloons slowly deflated into nothingness, and apparently, local children were allowed to destroy the remnants. I assume this was, in some way, a political statement…

It would have been quite interesting to see the movement of the balloons in person.  The tank was originally shown at the Staedtische Galerie in Germany, but unfortunately, this piece will only live on in cyberspace.

Hemmert also made this interesting balloon church, maybe in reference to the fragility of organized religion? Or the absurdity of it?

Darth Vader Helmet – Paper Craft by Cris Wiegandt

November 12th, 2012 | Robot, Space

Star Wars Paper Craft - Darth Vader Helmet

The uber-talented Cris Wiegandt is at it again.  She recently made this replica Darth Vader helmet out of paper for the Swedish fashion label, Monki.  In case you didn’t catch it, we interviewed Cris back in January after stumbling across her amazing Paper Space Shuttle, and I think she created an equally successful project this time around.  Her colors were picked perfectly, and I especially like the depiction of the whale.  WELL DONE, Cris.

And she also made a short stop-motion video of the construction process featuring music from Wallenberg:

Be sure to head over to Cris’ Behance page and take a look at all that she’s been up to.  I can’t wait to see what she produces next…

Space Crafted – An Interview with the Artist

January 19th, 2012 | Space

Check out the amazing work of Brazilian Artist, Cris Wiegandt.  She hails from São Paulo, Brazil, but she has been living in Europe for the past 12 years (now based out of Berlin).  She created this piece for the agency Ressourcenmangel GmbH for a business pitch, but unfortunately they didn’t win.  Regardless of the business outcome, we are happy to have these lasting images of the meticulously crafted shuttle.

  The gray background accents the soft palette quite nicely here. Something tells me Cris would have been very good at creating model cars/ships as a child…

I tracked down Cris through the interweb, and she was nice enough to answer a few questions about how she made it, and about her career as an artist.

How did you go about making the space shuttle? Was it modeled after a specific shuttle?

“[The company] sent me a picture of a space shuttle and the colors I should use. It was a picture found at google [space shuttle unknown].  I made the craft completely by hand. First I made some scribbles about how to build it together, the size of the parts and how to glue it. Then it was more or less just trying and putting everything together.”

What inspired you to enter the field of art?

“Definitly Michel Gondry and music, especially David Bowie, Björk and MPB (musica poplar brasileira).”

How did you choose to focus in animation and design?

“I think I can’t say that it was a choice.

I was the only option for me. The only thing I could imagine to do.”

How would you like to see your career develop as an artist?

“I hope I will have more nice and creative projects where I can develop my artistic way and continue living as an artist.”

Make sure to take a gander at Cris’ website for crafts, animations, video, and more.  I hope someone hires her to create more Spacecraft in the future.

RoboHotel

January 8th, 2012 | Robot

Berlin is well-known for its diverse and progressive architecture.  While you may not find the Ludwig Erhard Haus in any tour books, its futuristic foyer is worth the trip.  The building was designed by English architect Nicholas Grimshaw in 1994 and is used as a service center for the Chamber of Commerce and the Berlin Stock Exchange.

Berliners call the building “the armadillo” due to its distinctive shape.

 The elevators really stand out to me.  They look like futuristic space pods…
