Last Thursday was the opening of photographer David Armstrong's exhibition, Night and Day, inspired by his eponymous book published by Aron Mörel for Mörel Books. The exhibition at the brachfeld/gallery in Paris opened during the photography fair Paris Photo and will remain open until December 22nd. Check out the photos from the opening below, as well as more information/images over at brachfeld/gallery's website.
From brachfeld/gallery:
"The exhibition, inspired by the eponymous book Night and Day published by Aron Mörel for Mörel Books,
mixes a series of color Kodachromes drawn from Armstrong’s archives of
the late 70’s and early 80’s included in that book, with more formal
black and white portraits taken by the photographer over the same
period. Armstrong’s work illuminates an intimate and carefree era of
innocent-bohemian wildness preceding the tumultuous later 80’s. His
images are witness to a generation of artists, such as Nan Goldin, Rene
Ricard, Philip Lorca diCorcia, Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Waters, and
David himself, who have come to represent an era of American culture and
whose work has re-shaped and thus created the contemporary art scene.
David
Armstrong is undeniably a master of capturing timeless images. Either
with his color snapshots of every day life or his more formal and
applied black and white portraits, the totality of his work illustrates a
contrasted and mordern vision of a bygone and yet revolutionary era."
Three of our illustrators were chosen for a home décor capsule collection with BALS Japan. Judit Garcia-Talavera, Richard Haines and Mio Matsumoto’s wonderful work can be seen on everything from lamps and pillows to iphone covers!
T Magazine recently interviewed illustrator Jean-Philippe Delhomme regarding his blog turned book, The Unknown Hipster Diaries, published by New York-based August Edition. Read the entire interview and view images from the new book, here.
The Unknown Hipster Diaries also received press over at Hypebeast and Fashion Monitor.
From T;
The Unknown Hipster would follow the recipe of serious blogs, and with genuine naïveness, crash exclusive events, wrongly name-drop or find himself more interested in bums than celebrities. I quickly found myself sharing the naïveness of my character, and forgot about the parody or the irony, and did all the posts about people and subjects I found sincerely interesting. All the big blogs with thousands of hits know that the No. 1 rule is to post every day, so as to not leave your followers in the void. The first rule I established about The Unknown Hipster was not to follow this golden rule, and only surface when something was inspiring! Instead of being hyperactive like most bloggers, the Unknown Hipster was evenly strolling down the streets or lazily sitting in his pad, supposedly writing poetry.
We are excited to announce that for FW 2012, Prada commissioned Jed Root illustrator Richard Haines for a multi-platform project entitled "Il Palazo," including a book series of Haines' sketch work. In addition, an 'app' featuring his works and a dedicated platform on Prada.com serve as a 'virtual Palazo' in which Prada accesories sit side by side with Haines' original artwork.
Richard has received extensive press coverage regarding the news, including: Italian Vogue, French Vogue, German Elle, Dazed Digital, Hypebeast, and an interview at Examiner.
