Jonas Löfgren

Jonas Löfgren is Swedish but something in his art is close to my preferate Japanese contemporary and past masters.
And something in this portrait tell me a lot.
So few colors, so colored !

Junko Mizuno

I Love Japanese art of all time. From the old masters to the modern mangakas.
I d like to share with you that artist I find really brilliant :

"Junko Mizuno was born in Tokyo in 1973. She's one of the most promising young artists in Japan. She cites legendary manga artists Osamu Tezuka and Leiji Masumoto as influences, as well as Japanese horror artists like Hideshi Hino and Kazuo Umezu. She made her debut in 1996.
She was greatly influenced by the British artist, Aubrey Beardsley who is also known for ‘dark,’ ‘grotesque’ and ‘perverse’ illustrations.
From Tokyo to New York, Paris and London, Junko Mizuno has certainly come a long way in the ten years since her debut."

The 2 key words about this work started by Bagietti and Guerriero for yoox.com , 100 months ago.
Each time I receive the Yoox's newsletter in my mailbox, I am so enthusiastic by this so long collaboration and by the perfection of these photographies that could seem simple but in fact, really sophisticated and brilliant.
Enjoy !

A lot start here...

Hi all !
Here is my first personal blog devoted to what I like, feel, think and want to share with my friends and every people that would like to visit this place.
My focus here will be centered on trends and design concerning people I love.
I must apologize for my really bad English and say that I prefer this language for this blog because many of my friends and clients can't understand French.

To begin that blog, I'd like to pay a tribute to the artist that had a main influence on my own art activity : Chris Foss.
A visionary artist that was very well known during the seventies by the use of his painting for the covers of Scifi books.
During these years, Chris Foss had invented a new way to see the future of the spaceships design. After the silver rocket design (something close with the Raymond Loewy's design and the Streamline aesthetic) and the 2001 Space Odyssey revolution (more realistic vision, close with the NASA aesthetic), Chriss Foss have brought the space design in another era. More fun, more colored, but always with a big sense of realism about the mechanicals aspects of his starships.
I choose this paint of Chriss Foss to illustrate my text because of the Pasquale Island thematic that was also another great source of dream in my life.
Enjoy !

I remember the first time I played that game : I have spent few time to cry in front of my screen because the game was so magic for my eyes, and the music so perfect for my ears... Lol)
