The first 2 images are a technique possible only by using vintage Polaroid film. I render the image transparent and paper collage behind the portrait.
The follow pair of images is a direct emulsion separation and transfer. The technique is a bit more savage and instinctive. You have to accept all the accidents.

Environmental graphics for the adidas North American headquarters in Portland Oregon. The art work deconstructs the iconic geometry of the brands identities and products.

Die Buchreihe stellt ausgewählte Frankfurter Architektur der Nachkriegszeit. 1 Buch = 1 Jahrzehnt = 10 außergewöhnliche, besondere, charmante, dominante, eigenartige, fabelhafte… Bauten. Mit Essays, die den zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext behandeln. 21 x 24 cm, +/- 200 Seiten.

Originally commissioned by the New York Times to design the cover art for the 50 Years of Pride issue. Half a century ago, the police and patrons clashed during a raid on the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village. The riot poured out onto Christopher Street where the pride colors now intersect with the street crosswalk lines. That clash helped spark a movement that continues to this day. Designed to commemorate that historic moment, the cover draws inspiration from the pride colors painted on the Christopher Street crosswalk, turning them into a 50. The cover was then turned into a limited edition of 50 signed and numbered 24” x 36” artist prints.

Die-cut skate graphic. Single color (white) printed. All color is courtesy of the bottom ply of each deck. Pictured are the primary yellow/blue/red versions, but there were nearly limitless options built.

Plausible Landscapes is a series of fictitious landscapes. They are superimpositions of three unrelated color photographs that were never intended to coexist. For each photograph, only one color channel of the RGB colorspace is kept. A new landscape emerges where the photographs overlap. With careful positioning and contrast filtering the artist never has to resort to physical masking. Once converted to black and white, the antagonistic colors are blended into a seamless amalgam, their diametrically different hues now sharing a grayscale value, lightness and darkness. The results are plausible and somewhat familiar but ultimately deceiving.

The pursuit of this body of work is to document the ongoing flux of novel events that I experience. My goal is to share my perception of the world so that others can see the beauty, color, and humor.

Alice Real Estate born to sell high-quality homes in a very personalized way.
In order to differentiate Alice from the competence and avoiding the typical industry-standard photographic treatment, we worked around colorful illustrations, showing that the purchasing/selling process of a house can be something relaxed, friendly, and fun.

Catalina Aranguren’s work is a dialogue about the modern world and our place in it. Light is the foundation and sets the tone of the conversation. Because of the diversity of cultures in which she grew up, her work explores the relationship between perception and cognition. The idea of the “perceived” and the “actual” are rapidly shifting cultural concepts, though their ability to elicit reactions of fondness or fear remains a constant. As an artist she has the unique opportunity to exemplify, subvert, and redefine these concepts, adding her voice to a dialogue between the viewer and their history.

The Print „Rana #1“ is part of the „Rana Series #1—5. This series contains five prints. These series is part of the project called „Evolution Of Shape“. This project is an artistic visual research by Bollo. It is a collection of forms, shapes, objects, visual experiments, random stuff, accidents and visual spectacle.
„Rana #1“ is a risography print, designed in three layered colors: blue, bright red and fluorescent pink.

As a taxonomy research, Pauline observes and collects hundreds of hematomas pictures of her own and foreign bodies. The colors, the lifetime’s transformation, and the imperceivable characteristics of bruises are the fascination of the project.
She recontextualizes them and transmits us a new perception, by exhibiting them as tangible objects printed with Risograph and Silkscreen. These print techniques are bringing color intensity, depth and unexpected outcomes. In addition, the four-color printing on latex, the layer’s superposition of the printing process remind the reaction of the body after a shock.

Compositions with lines that stand free in the pictorial space. These are painted on the back of a completely polyester fabric with white and then in the neon colours red, yellow and blue. The lines seem to float freely in the air. The viewer perceives the colours on the back only as reflection. The view of the colour is completely denied. As if out of themselves, the lines shine and reflect light from apparently unknown origins. The white lines become a light source. The neon pigmentation – neon pigments are larger than other colour pigments and therefore create a real inherent luminosity in the room – form an additional illusory space, which opens up a further level of objecthood.

A bucket list is what we still want to do in life. My list is too long yet not refined, and some items are too personal to share or might change. That’s why the type is destructed and obscured, except for the very top: ‘new work.’ With the silkscreen printing process, I created a vibrant bright green by overprinting a blue with yellow.
This print is the second poster in a series of 12×12″ silkscreen printed typography posters that will be released, similar to a vinyl EP. The fonts and posters will have several variations like remixes. I am always interested in inviting other visual artists to remix a design just like musicians do. This print is the start.

The well-known Swiss author Franz Hohler has written a play for the Bernhard Theatre in Zurich entitled “ÖV” (= public transport). Anyone familiar with Zurich’s main means of transport – the tram – will immediately notice that all the colors of the tram lines have been included in the campaign. Each tram number has its own color. The one or two-digit number is in Helvetica, just like the word “ÖV”.

It was essential that the design of the book be sympathetic to the work of this contemporary artist. The halftone dot was chosen as an approach for the cover as this technique has been one constant in the artist’s multifaceted career. The yellow color sleeve was incorporated as a way to reference the many layers in this artist’s practice, and the use of one of the Chorus faces on the cover was a humorous nod to the visitor experience. A spot-UV varnish was used on the cover to give the image a three-dimensional quality similar to his works.

“Clear formal language, high contrasts and always trying to put as little as possible but as much as necessary on paper. Every line and every surface has its home. Sometimes they meet – by chance – other times they face or repel each other. Colours can further support or break these situations. The most difficult thing is to recognise and force these interactions. This is not always successful, but when such a moment arises, it is like a rush. “

This is a detail of a construction that layers found and generated print materials, randomly revealing elements through hand die cutting.

Illuminations sind eine Serie abstrakter Bilder, Malerei in Öl bzw. Fotografien.
Der Ausgangspunkt der fortlaufenden Bilderreihe ist ein fotografischer. Bereits der Titel Illuminations verweist auf deren Ursprung: Licht, Beleuchtung, Inszenierung, Feier, – auf in Licht-setzung. Abstrakte Lichtspiele mit einem realem Hintergrund aus dem urbanen Leben .

The ‘Emergent’ series begins where a separation between elements ends. The formal transitions occurring to blend the feminine and curvilinear subjects reveal similarities that imbue the human portraiture with corresponding layers of depth. Built upon the sometimes-blurred edges of distinction, the work strikes at a place between communication and ambiguity, where the viewer can feel a story beginning to coalesce.
