Julie Krakowski
By Karey in Artist, Design, FashionBrussels based French textile designer Julie Krakowski draws inspiration from everyday accidents such as cigarrette burns and coffee spills, to the molting and shedding of skin. One collection pulls from the uncontrolled nature of rust, creating an ambiguous play between fashion and trash, change and sublimation. Be sure to check out Krakowski's website and select images below.

Alexa Meade
By Karey in Art, Artist, Installation, Washington DC
Washington, DC based installation artist Alexa Meade has a very unique and interesting approach to her acrylic painting. Instead of painting on canvas, she paints on people! Meade applies acrylic paint directly on her subjects making them appear to be a part of the painting. This innovative approach stems from her background in political communications, in which she has a strong interest in the tensions between perception and reality. Meade's installations use paint on three dimensional surfaces of found objects, live models, and architectural spaces to create a perceptual shift in how we experience and interpret spatial relationships. When asked about her thought process by My Modern Metropolis, she says:
I paint representational portraits directly on top of the people I am representing. The models are transformed into embodiments of the artist's interpretation of their essence. When captured on film, the living, breathing people underneath the paint disappear, overshadowed by the masks of themselves.
Wow. I would love to see one of her installations! Check out more photos below.

Jonathan Harris
By Karey in Artist, Design, Environment, Flash, Interactive, Resource, VisualizationI've seen a few of Brooklyn based artist and designer Jonathan Harris's projects in the past few years, but recently have been rediscovering his work. Harris is know for creating projects that combine elements of computer science, anthropology, visual art, and storytelling to primarily visualize human relationships with each other and technology. Perhaps is profile on TED says it best,
Artist and computer scientist Jonathan Harris makes online art that captures the world's expression -- and gives us a glimpse of the soul of the Internet.
