“Grégoire Guillemin, aka “Léon”, refuses to let his childhood passions fade quietly into the past. Science fiction, comic books, and video games still reign. From 1930’s vintage to modern day Pop Art, his artworks rediscover and reinvent styles through experimentation with variegated, minimalistic techniques.”
The Secret Life of Heroes by Grégoire Guillemin.
“I think about how different materials might work or different consistencies. Sometimes I have an idea that I want to evoke in the viewer and will go from there. I instantly fell in love with the unpredictability of the photos and couldn’t stop experimenting.”
Photographer Jon Smith shoots shattering lightbulbs filled with various materials inside.
«The desert and its light volumes, make the ‘Anthology 2012-2014’ series a complex metaphysical scenario. A journey that connects the exterior with the interior, the physical space with the unconscious of the individual.“
Anthology 2012-2014 by Luca Tombolini.
Photographer Andy Lee captures the desolate roads of his travels in the series Roads Less Traveled. Check out some more of his beautifully lit photography here.
An 18th Century Silver Mounted Shagreen Etui, circa 1760.
An etui is typically used as a women’s work box. Though they were designed for functionality, etuis were also decorative.
Fun fact: The Farbergé Eggs, designed by Peter Carl Farbergé for the Russian Imperial Family, were a series of 52 jeweled eggs that were etuis.
The Light Inside is a beautiful photo series which features illuminated fruits and veggies. Photographer Radu Zaciu carves holes in the objects and places a lightbulb inside, which highlights the natural textures and colors of the objects.
