Nice Speedy Concept Store installation from Louis Vuitton as part of Selfrdiges 100th anniversary celebrations . But this is so so V&R.. just like the champaigne glasses pyramid from the V&R Piper Heidsieck Rosé Sauvage commercial.

Picasso Drawing with light .//

.


Not long ago I posted about the amazing work of Lichtfaktor ( the guys with the lightwritting ) but what you probably don't know is that Pablo Picasso himself experienced the same type of art long time before them.

"LIFE photographer Gjon Mili visited Picasso in 1949. Mili showed the artist some of his photographs of ice skaters with tiny lights affixed to their skates jumping in the dark—and Picasso's mind began to race. The series of photographs that follows—Picasso’s light drawings—were made with a small flashlight in a dark room; the images vanished almost as soon as they were created."

Here are these never seen before pictures of Pablo Picasso

Boxi - "To die for" .//

.

Boxi is a street artist who creates hand cut multi layered life size stencils that he exhibits in galleries and on street walls.

Boxi's latest work is done in Athens, is entitled "To die for". It's an attempt to portray the blind purity of love, and a wall of belief that can end it all. The work is a reflection upon the recent execution of two young lovers in Afghanistan who were killed because their parents didn't aprove with their love."
The full story about them can be read here.

Esref Armagan .//

.

The story of Esref Armagan is similar to the one of Stephen Wiltshire , the man that could draw an aerial panorama entirely from memory.
But Esref is even more outstanding.
He was born without eyes due to a genetic condition but he can paint and understand 3d perspective.
Here is how he outdones the famous renaissance architecht Filippo Brunelleschi.

Cai Guo-Qiang .//

.

Cai Guo-Qiang was born in 1957 in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, China. He attended the Shanghai Drama Institute and is trained in stage design.

His work has, since the outset, been scholarly and often politically charged. He initially began working with gunpowder to foster spontaneity and confront the suppression that he felt from the controlled artistic tradition and social climate in China at the time.
He uses the properties of gunpowder to create outstanding drawings,, exemplified in the series Projects for Extraterrestrials.

Yelle — Qui Est Cette Fille
"Qui est cette fille dont tu rêves tant ?
Qui est cette fille dont tu es l'amant ?
Qui est cette fille qui porte mes vêtements ?
Mais qui est-elle ?"

Imogen Heap — Speeding Cars

"There there baby
it’s just text book stuff
it’s in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don’t lose your head
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah"


I'm not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you (The Twelves Remix) - The black kids
"Word's on the streets and it's on the news:
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you.
He's got two left feet and he bites my moves.
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance! dance! dance! dance!
The second I do, I know we're gonna be through.
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you.
He don't suspect a thing. I wish he'd get a clue.
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance! dance! dance! dance!"

Jeux d'enfants - C'était mieux que .//

C'était mieux que tout, mieux que la drogue, mieux que l'héro, mieux que la dope, coke, crack, fitj, joint, shit, shoot, snif, pét', ganja, marie-jeanne, cannabis, beuh, péyotl, buvard, acide, LSD, extasy. Mieux que le sexe, mieux que la fellation, soixante-neuf, partouze, masturbation, tantrisme, kama-sutra, brouette thaïlandaise. Mieux que le Nutella au beurre de cacahuète et le milk-shake banane. Mieux que toutes les trilogies de George Lucas, l'intégrale des muppets-show, la fin de 2001. Mieux que le déhanché d'Emma Peel, Marilyn, la schtroumpfette, Lara Croft, Naomi Campbell et le grain de beauté de Cindy Crawford. Mieux que la face B d'Abbey Road, les CD d'Hendrix, le nouveau p'tit pas de Neil Armstrong sur la lune. Le space-mountain, la ronde du Père-Noël, la fortune de Bill Gates, les transes du dalaï-lama, les NDE, la résurrection de Lazare, toutes les piquouzes de testostérone de Schwarzy, le collagène dans les lèvres de Pamela Anderson. Mieux que Woodstock et les rave-party les plus orgasmiques. Mieux que la défonce de Sade, Rimbaud, Morisson et Castaneda. Mieux que la liberté.

Mieux que la vie…

Jackson Pollock Tribute .//

As a huge fan of Jackson Pollock, I've been having this “Jack the dripper” frenzy for a few days, so I though I'd make this post ... & hope for a trip to MoMa to see his drips hanged next to Magritte's "The Lovers".

Bohemian Paris , Dan Franck .//

.

"Era vremea cînd Parisul era capitala lumii. Pe trotoarele din Montmartre şi Montparnasse, între Le Bateau-Lavoir şi Closerie des Lilas, sublimii "troublions" ("giuvaergii" aş traduce ), care inventau arta modernă şi limbajul secolului: Jarry cu bufniţa şi cu pistoalele sale, Picasso simpatizant anarhist, Apollinaire erotomanul, Max Jacob şi oamenii lui, Aragon "le flambeur" (unul ce joacă tare), Soutine singuraticul, Man Ray, Braque, Matisse, Breton şi ceilalţi...Veneau de peste tot, veneau din toate ţările, pictori, poeţi, sculptori, muzicieni, cubişti, suprarealişti, petrecăreţi, amorezaţi - liberi... Timp de trei decenii, ei au condus balul condeielor şi al pensulelor. Vieţile lor sunt flamboaiante, nu mai puţin decît operele lor. Iar operele lor - frumoase ca viaţa. Ei rămîn pentru totdeauna personajele propriilor legende... Au fost şi rămîn eroi ai vremii boemelor - o lume magnifică ale cărei reflexe încă luminează secolul care se încheie."
-

"C'était l'époque où Paris était la capitale du monde. Sur les trottoirs de Montmartre et de Montparnasse, entre le Bateau-Lavoir et la Closerie des Lilas, allaient les sublimes trublions qui inventaient l'art moderne et le langage du siècle : Jarry, son hibou et ses revolvers, Picasso, sympathisant anarchiste, Apollinaire, l'érotomane, Modigliani et ses femmes, Max Jacob et ses hommes, Aragon, le flambeur, Soutine, le solitaire, Man Ray, Braque, Matisse, Breton et les autres... Ils venaient de tous les pays. Ils étaient peintres, poètes, sculpteurs, musiciens. Fauves, cubistes, surréalistes, fêtards, amoureux - libres. Pendant trois décennies, ils menèrent le bal des plumes et des pinceaux. Leurs vies sont flamboyantes comme leurs œuvres. Et leurs œuvres, belles comme la vie. Ils demeurent à jamais les personnages de leurs propres légendes. Ils furent et restent les héros du temps des Bohèmes : un monde magnifique dont les reflets ne cesseront jamais de nous éclairer."

3D mural paintings by John Pugh

"When developing a mural, I also respond to aspects of the location such as its architectural style or the natural surroundings. Often, I like to play with the art’s context by contrasting these environments with another place and/or time. This paradox or juxtaposition of environments transports the viewer on a journey from local reality into a new space. During this “voyage”, the viewer may experience sequential discoveries as my compositions are designed to unfold in narrative layers." John Pugh

La Poésie que j'aime .//

.

Nice collection of french poems. //
My favs: Louis Aragon & Paul Eluard

http://lapoesiequejaime.net .//

Paul Eluard -LE MIROIR D' UN MOMENT

Il dissipe le jour,
Il montre aux hommes les images déliées de l'apparence,
Il enlève aux hommes la possibilité de se distraire.
Il est dur comme la pierre,
La pierre informe,
La pierre du mouvement et de la vue,
Et son éclat est tel que toutes les armures, tous les masques en sont faussés.
Ce que la main a pris dédaigne même de prendre la forme de la main,
Ce qui a été compris n'existe plus,
L'oiseau s'est confondu avec le vent,
Le ciel avec sa vérité,
L'homme avec sa réalité.
