Valentine’s Day is the one day in the calendar which provides people an excuse to give out mushy cards, dozens of roses and boxes of chocolates to each other without much care for money. However, when does too much actually become too much? It would be safe to bet that the Valentine’s craze has become phenomenally excessive when you give a card [...]

Nine Dancing Triangles by Felice Varini is a revolutionary graphic arts installation, a site-specific work of art in the artist’s consecrated style of optical illusions with geometric shapes. The Swiss artist has painted nine bold red geometric shapes, which visually and virtually dance across the walls and ceilings of a cellar. It’s all a matter of perspective with this installation, as a [...]

Leaves of Grass by Geoffrey Farmer is an awesome graphic arts project that reminds us that, before the Internet, everyone who was anyone had to appear in the pages of LIFE Magazine. His visual project uses cut-outs from the magazine’s heyday, which he estimates lasted from 1935 until 1985. The project illustrated here was commissioned by dOCUMENTA (13), exhibited in Kassel, Germany [...]

Vitamin Bomb by Georgi Dimitrov is a graphic arts (illustration) series from a talented Bulgarian… graffiti artist and that’s all but apparent in the style of the images. There is a lot of well-suggested motion in the series, as if each and every single piece of fruit were sliced in mid-air, by the skilled sword of some samurai or a very well [...]

Knock on the Sky Listen to the Sound by Tiffany Singh is an installation that takes the graphic arts one step further into originality.

The graphic arts are doing just fine in post-modernism, says the project 365 Days of Clones by David Eger, a Canadian arts teacher. Eger is playful and tongue-in-cheek as he recreates some of the most famous images in the collective subconscious with… Star Wars figurines! The backdrops were not Photoshopped or otherwise recreated with the aid of digital manipulation, but done in [...]

The graphic arts are just as valid on building walls as they are on canvas, says graffiti artist Conor Harrington with his brand new murals in Italy. He may not be Banksy in terms of notoriety just yet, but he certainly has a ‘voice,’ a.k.a. a visual style all his own. Basically, he attempts to appropriate any location, by blending elements of [...]

Sometimes photorealism in the graphic arts can be impressive, as is the case with the KLSADAKO charcoal drawings we’re featuring today. The 32 year-old male artist, whose real name is Ken Lee, is based in Great Britain, but his Asian heritage is apparent in the subjects of his drawings. He loves drawing beautiful Asian women, and does so with such prowess and [...]

Peter Clark is essentially a painter in paper, using textured, patterned, block-colored or typed pieces of paper, in order to create his colorful pieces. He employs pieces of old maps and manuscripts, [...]

In the world of the graphic arts, the toast art by Tibi Tibi Neuspiel is just another addition to the artist’s jarring, ironic brand of self-expression. Neuspiel is definitely not a conservative artist, limited in his range and choice of media. He’s produced classical sculptures in wax, tinged with a dash of tongue-in-cheek humor, performance art and whatever else you might think [...]

Gabriella Barouch should definitely become a stand-out name in the graphic arts, for her wonderful re-interpretations of vintage-tinged visual themes – and not only that. Barouch’s work is strewn with images of fragile female bodies, animals wild and tame, flowers and motifs from old postcards. What is more, besides her editorial work, and the illustrations for music that she’s produced (inspired by [...]

The series ‘Plates’ features hand-painted landscapes typical of the Netherlands, in the style of classical and traditional Dutch art.

The artist created a light installation for the Triennale of Contemporary Art, open in the French capital until August 6th. The precise, 3D mural inspired by primitive cave drawings is on [...]

In today’s day and age there is no limit to the media artists will use in the graphic arts, and this certainly applies to Matthew Cusick’s map work collages. The New York-based artist is actually renowned for his rendition of landscapes, humans and animals via recycled maps. He intersperses his road map and atlas fragments with cut-outs from old encyclopedias and textbooks, [...]

Graphic arts aren’t all about graphic design, as Chaos Crew’s tattooed poster goes to show – they’re also about “getting history under your skin.” That’s the motto under which the crew operates, and what better way for the Munich tattoo studio to advertise itself than with a massive calfskin poster displaying all the major historic events that took place in 2011. “Just [...]

Australia’s Louise Saxton proves once more that the graphic arts have no limits when it comes to the medium, through her collection of birds, trees and leaves made out of fabric – “Sanctuary”. The series is currently exhibited at the Heide Museum of Modern Art in Melbourne, from March 24 until July 29. According to the artist herself, “this body of work [...]

The graphic arts needn’t always be pompous and ironic, says Australian designer Bec Winnel through her series of suave female portraits. Winnel renders seductive, ultra-feminine, delicate faces into drawings. She almost exclusively uses pastel colors, yet the nearly fragile-looking characters are counterbalanced by her precise use of color and line. Her characters smile, look straight ahead or cast a sideways glance over [...]

He has constructed an entire 3D environment out of what started out as a relatively simple project, yet turned out infinitely more complex than the artist ever thought it would. According to the visual artist, “this is a huge project,” [...]
