And boy has he taken the city by storm, creating a full body of work articulating his response to The Big Apple.

Trained as an architect, his creativity comes from a true passion for drawing, applied in the widest range of situations, from the production of toys and apparel, to product design, skateboards and sneakers, to the creation of animations for television, illustration, murals and comics.

He has also published books like ‘Vinyl Will Kill’, the first to document the scene of Designer Toys, and ‘Jeremyville Sessions’, on his collaborations with big companies like Adidas, Microsoft, Converse, Diesel, MTV, but also with artists like Gary Baseman, Miss Van, Friends with you, Geoff McFetridge, Tim Biskup and hundreds of others. He recently came back from speaking at a creative conference in Buenos Aires, and is speaking at Semi Permanent and Pictoplasma in early 2011.

Come to see the magic for yourself, and meet the artist Jeremyville.

here the video

Ugo Pierri
“The flexible professor”

A desecrating visionary ability push down from the pedestal the Joyce-myth and turn it with a sharp irony in a bestiary of passions.

Guglielmo Manenti
“Epiphanies”

A vain wandering on the roads of exile take Bloom-Joyce through enigmatic visions, with a bright twilinght cromatism.

Aka B
“The 12 labours of Joyce”

A strong stroke draws Joyce in twelve thick and dark versions, which show a character worn out by creative torture, between seeing and blindness .

Luigi Tolotti
“J.J. 13 variantions on the theme”

An inlay of literary and biographic overlappings recreates in pop and surreal view the density of joycian world, with a graphic and cromatic taste.

Works
SERGIO BERTOLINI – ROBERTO MIGNANEGO
WORLD BEACH ULTIMATE CUP – WORLD FREESTYLE CHALLENGE
“There were colours everywhere, colours’ shreds everywhere. And frisbees. Everywhere.Next year theme for Paganello will be ‘Amarcord’.” [Lui Tasini]
Sergio Bertolini and Roberto Mignanego portray the “Paganello” world challenge 2010 in its 20th edition, in Rimini.

ALEX ROULETTE
PAINTING
From Ohio and living in Brooklyn, Roulette photographs, by accurately reproducing them in pictorial matter, scenes and needs of the “on the road” life of a young and lonely America, searching…

LUCA BIDOLI
WORKS
“In pursuit of a possible wonder. Of endurance against transience. Staying slantwise, sideways: it’s the oblique perspective from the bottom, the one of a pet, of who’s way down, the perspective chosen by Luca Bidoli. That four-legged surreality of clues, acid, with sharp edges, is contrived from voids. […] Becomes pictorial matter, fauve shading, outline of a slightest lapse. Passing”. [Simonetta Angelini]

JEONGMEE YOON
THE PINK AND BLUE PROJECT
The latter concept-reportage by JeongMee Yoon, photographer from South Korea, portrays infancy surrounded from its objects…
“The Pink and Blue Projects, explores the trends in cultural preferences and the differences in the tastes of children (and their parents) from diverse cultures, ethnic groups as well as gender socialization and identity. Today, with the effects of advertising on consumer preferences, pink and blue customs are a worldwide standard.” [JeongMee Yoon]

ALE DI GANGI
IPHONEOGRAFIA
Photographer and videomaker from Florence, Ale Di Gangi is in constant oscillation between digital and analogic, due to a double fascination: he’s keen on vintage, on tour now with “the possible exhibition” (an original polaroid show), and he’s into tech’s vanguard, as for the iPhone-apped images displayed in this feature.

Back Country Paintings

As an explorer of mountains myself, what I noticed whilst climbing and ski touring in the Alps and Himalayas was the quality of the light in the rare-ified atmosphere. This feeling is something I wish to communicate on canvas to my viewers. The particular language of seracs, arêtes, corniced ridges and rime ice is what I have tried to depict in my new work. As a mountaineer myself I feel more able to truthfully reflect upon my experiences once back in the studio. This desire to capture in oil the transience of glaciers, as basically water trapped in a temporary state is  what my current work is preoccupied with.

I prescribe whole heartily to the restorative effects of loosing ones self in the sublime expanses of natures inner realms. My work comes out of a feeling of loss, when I return from wandering the hills and primeval forests. Their for I try to capture them on linen, not in reality but in an idealized, almost unblemished way. I choose to depict mountains and forests in all their majesty. These are citadels shrouded in mist and protected from the world like bastions of freedom. Not the ground down desolate places that they are fast becoming due to globalization.

I have chosen to blatantly glorify the out door lifestyle in my melodramatic pictures and sweeping romance vistas. The work is in part, imagined lost scenes from such films, where due to the lapse of time, people fade in and out of existence but the forest remains. This transience of being reflects my own experience of nature where ones self existence is not permanent and can be lost without any warning. These transformations are set against the backdrop of unblemished alpine vistas.

My work is composed from hybrid images clipped from past memories/ places I have visited or experienced. This imagery is painted on the canvas using much the same techniques and processes of cinematic matte paintings where actual paintings were filmed to extend a scene or mountainscape whilst layering the actors actions over the top.

Now, at the beginning of the new millennium, a new flight from reality is under way, a new yearning for an intact world (hardly surprising in view of the present economic crisis). One thing is clear: the idyllic landscapes of past times  are in touch with people’s dreams. They still spirit us away into worlds, which are better than the world we live in.

Alex’s new paintings can be seen on his website www.alexanderheaton.co.uk

And he will be showing work in Berlin in March 2010 at Rise Gallery in the exhibition entitled – Happiness Machines.

“ny sunset” by Kris Hardy

There are now a huge number of artists producing canvas artwork using acrylics and making the optimum use of this versatile media. It has enabled canvas art to be bought by a wider audience due to its fast drying nature and artwork can be created much quicker so a real business can be made out of acrylic artwork. Exhibitions have been in such prestigious venues as the Westminster Gallery and the Durham Art Gallery solely exhibiting and championing acrylic work. Books have been written purely on the characteristics of acrylic paint such as “New Tricks and Techniques for Working with the World’s Most Versatile Medium” by Nancy Reyner and “The New Acrylics:Complete Guide to the New Generation of Acrylic Paints.

Modern art is defined from the 1860’s to the 1970’s in terms of galleries and art history. In recent years the appeal of modern art in a widespread context has occurred. The new style of modern, open plan living had made for the need of equally as modern and unique art for the white stark walls. The apartment living scene has especially contributed but even older style houses are having walls taken down to make way for the open plan living so popular today.

Not everyone has the money to buy modern canvas art produced by famous artists so it has enabled the not so famous but equally as talented new artists to produce work and be successful selling them. Canvas art is quite dramatic as the medium used is either oil or acrylic paint. Both achieve high depth in colour and on a bright white wall, a piece of canvas artwork on a stretched canvas frame has maximum impact.
Clean lines and minimal aesthetics are the keys with many of the latest wave if modern art pieces. Another impressive move in the artwork is that artists today are actually quite happy to produce bespoke artwork specifically for the client from their own specifications. For example a piece of artwork is often created to specifically suit the interiors of the room it is commissioned for both in style and colour. This is quite a shift from what many people conceive in artists. It is making modern art even more modern and allows the owner of the artwork to have input creating an even more personal piece.

Its aim, born from a precise editorial choice, is collecting and exhibiting the work of visual artists in a pure form. Presenting it simply as data itself: no artist bio, no critical analysis of the works, no extra info that could in any way distract from the innediate impact the work has on the watcher.

DAYDREAMING MAGAZINE November 2009 ONLINE

“RAPTUROUS NATURE”
The quarrel between man, nature and art, Unavoidable down the centuries, is a matter worthy an endless soap-opera. For or against, willing or not, the artist has always brood in his own shadow over the lunatic terror for the fact that his creation wouldn’t have bear the comparison with Mother Earth. Many took their distance, other ridiscover her right now, some did never abandon her. The confrontation’s just begun…

Inside:

Nanni Spano (Metamorphosis):
High definition and macro modality investigating on details and texture of algas, of cortex, on stones and leaves, have unattendedly penetrated from other image-worlds with a violent meanwhile classical synthesis. While we’re expecting the image to be clear and still like crystal, meeting our visual pleasure, the artist contaminates and melts its elements and sense, slipping in the disquiet for an impossible unalterability- (G. Carbi)

Dan May (Illustrations):
A fairy Arcadia is being illustrated, populated with Beauty-nymphs and Beast-satyrs, fainting infancy and insects. Melancholic poetry enlighted masterfully from the inside.

Heiko Muller (Drawing/Mixed Media/Oil):
Through an unconventional use of stylistic sovrapposition, the artist lets us attend a very interesting mediation between the expressive medium and the natural datum, between illustration and photography, between Pop echoes and Action paintings, breathing life into a powerful and immediate iconography confronting nature and history.

Scott G.Brooks (Painting):
Here’s the umpteenth violence to the american dream, far from being gratuitous, together with the umpteenth homage to renaissance art, far from being imitation. Deformities legitimates themselves with confident looks of disquieting wellbeing; distortion meets smiling our eye. What if the world was this?

De Becker ( Into the wild):
The transposition of the urban subject in the natural datum, fundamental intuition, provokes a grotesque disorientation, but not only… the gamut of sensations provided by these images indicates a relational investigation between man and nature that is far from being unveiled.

But OFFF is more than an event about any of these disciplines. More than a design conference, a multimedia trade fair, or a digital animation festival. OFFF is an enthusiastic celebration of a new visual culture.

After eight years on the frontline of digital arts events, OFFF has trascended its own nature as a festival to become a synonym for modernity, both aesthetic and technological.

OFFF is spreading the work of a generation of creators that are breaking all kind of limits. Those separating the commercial arena from the worlds of art and design; music from illustration, or ink and chalk from pixels. Artists that have grown with the web and receive inspiration from digital tools, even when their canvas is not the screen.
