Anselm Reyle



the German artist “using materials like aluminium foil, neon colours and neon light, achieves intense colours, light, and surface effects that intensify and deconstruct common and familiar composition patterns of abstract painting styles”.~wikipedia

Naïve





Modernism and Folklore in Contemporary Graphic Design. Naïve documents the extraordinary renaissance of Classic Modernism, from the 1940s to 1960s, in contemporary graphic design.
I guess this book came out last year, but I just spotted it on Amazon while shopping. Not sure how I missed it. I love the graphics!

Elmgreen & Dragset






Elmgreen & Dragset, the duo who brought us Prada in the middle of Marfa, Texas desert, “have redefined the way in which art is presented and experienced. Drawing from disciplines as divergent as institutional critique, social politics, performance and architecture, in their sculptures and installations the artists reconfigure the familiar with characteristic wit and subversive humour”.~victoria miro

I’m totally into these guys.
