Just 'discovered' this artist, love his work which is filled with 'visual distortion'. "Felipe Pantone’s body of work spans from graffiti to kinetic art. Strong contrasts, vivid colors, effects, and the use of mixed medium and varied technique combine to impact strongly on the viewer. What really intrigues is not the striking nature of his work, but the artist’s journey to discover this aesthetic. We live in a time where more images are produced than can possibly be seen, and the impetus for an artist to stand out from the others is stronger than ever. Information flows at an exponentially increasing rate, a leitmotif recurrent in Felipe Pantone’s compositions, his hyperactivity, working methods and his constant traveling around the world."

Balloon Invasions & Paris based Photographer Charles Petillon
So, I haven't written in a while, but I did see lots of things that drew my attention. I loved this visual for instance which shows work by work by Charles Petillon. "Oui, oui, a thousand times oui! These balloon-filled interventions are the work of Paris based photographer Charles Pétillon. These perfect white balloons, bubbling out of basketball hoops and old houses are all part of this beautiful series, titled “Invasions”:
“These balloon invasions are metaphors. Their goal is to change the way in which we see the things we live alongside each day without really noticing them. It is our way of looking at things that I am trying to transform and revive, and therefore make it possible to go beyond practical perception to aesthetic experience: a visual emotion. Each balloon has its own dimensions and yet is part of a giant but fragile composition. This fragility is represented by contrasting materials and also the whiteness of the balloons.”

Inspiration of the Day Comes from: Sarah Boris's new book Le Théâtre Graphique
Oh I love this type of minimalism. Love these graphics! Sounds like her project did really well. "This book project began life as an exhibition in a theatre - could you tell us about that first chapter?From May to June 2015, I was invited to exhibit at the graphic design festival Une Saison Graphique in Le Havre, France. The particularity of the festival is that around six graphic design studios (in the past from France, UK, Switzerland, Holland, Korea etc.) are invited to exhibit in different spaces of the city. Each designer is given quite lot of freedom as to how they wish to present designs within the exhibition space and works closely with the venue hosting the exhibition..." Read more here.
