Street Faces by Aurélien Fontanet

When you laugh, the world laughs with you. Often times literally with creepy faces that appear to be built in to the surrounding sidewalks, walls, and devices. Quietly they watch, judging… contemplating some secret fate that is yet to befall you and fostering a perverse pleasure in not being able to warn you (they are inanimate objects after all, they can’t talk, you know. You’re probably just imagining things anyways).

Valentino Fialdini: LEGO

For his latest project titled “LEGO”, Brazilian artist Valentino Fialdini created a series photographs of bright and colorful rooms and corridors. With the sun streaming through windows and shadows cast on the walls, it almost seems as if you’re looking at real rooms, but a closer look reveals that these sterile architectural spaces are, in fact, miniatures built with LEGO bricks and photographed by the artist himself. “Nothing is out of place in these architectures made of plastic, the spectator is the central character of these spaces based on Reinassance perspective.

“While making use of traditional visual elements and typography, the traditional concept of trade is brought across in a minimalist, modern manner. The trademark is in the form of an octopus; a very old symbol for the sea, yet presented in a clean, refined way. The use of touches of gold foil and paper give the much-needed feel of luxury that the target audience yearns for in a case of expensive cigars. The concept is fully brought across in the “code” used to denote cigar flavors. Old naval symbols are used to illustrate and describe the flavor of each cigar.”

I’m a Polish/South African designer living and working in Miami, Florida. I hope you enjoy experiencing my work as thoroughly as I enjoyed creating it.
