HAPPY BIRTHDAY Josef Frank!

Today is the birthday of one of the most important architects and designers ever to be known. On his 125th birthday we remember the man who brought us psychodelic patterns to every posible artefact we could imagine and reminded us that our world can be whimsical and fascinating if we look close enough. Nonetheless, Frank's genius was not confined to only patterns, with its architectural designs he evoked modernity and simple aesthetics that would define the guidelines for future architecture. In a mixture of colors and natural elements designed in the most organic and high quality materials in which a living room can easily become into an enchanted forest worthy to be associated with Alice's Wonderland. Therefore, I invite you to delight yourselves in this expression of magical designs and ingenuity. Lets celebrate the birthday of the man who brought the organic into the homes and whose designs will hopefully prevail well beyond these 125 years. Happy Birthday Josef Frank.

Moving paints

Everyone kows the eye can play tricks on you, but what the artist Alexa Meade does, brings this common known expression to a whole new level. With only 23 years of age this Washington D.C. local has stirred up the art world with her hiperreal art. Meade is able to make spectators perceive a 3D object as 2D painting, shocking more than once, a passer-by when the 'painting' in fact moved and talked. According to her webpage, Meade's work is a fusion of different techniques of art combining: video art, installation, painting, performance and photography. According to a Washington Post article, Meade had barely any art trainning, after graduating as a political science mayor and working three summers at Capitol Hill incluiding the Obama campaign, this unconventional prospect decided to make art her full time career. Giving the art world and its lovers a 'spin' Meade's work is truly something to admire. Therefore, I urge to look closely at these paintings and appreciate what an innovation looks like.
