The post Przemek Krawczyński’s Lamps Truly Set the Mood appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Lately, we’ve been taken by Przemek Krawczyński’s one-of-a-kind lamps. Made of gourd—a dried tropical fruit found in Senegal, Guinea, and Mali—they are intricately carved, their patterns reflected on the walls and ceiling when lit.
Inspired by fractal art, geometry, and harmonious patterns and constructions, his work is made with precision and includes a lot of planning ahead.
“In my projects, I look for harmony and cohesion,” writes the Polish sculptor on his website. “I enjoy complicated, varied, and composite patterns; nothing about their arrangement is random.”
As such, completing a piece might take months at a time, with the finished result truly a one of kind. “Sometimes the designing stage is the longest and the most difficult, but most of the time the carving and the drilling are the most labor-intensive,” says Krawczyński.
Working with organic material, the first stage is skinning the gourd and cleaning the inside, after which the patterns are drawn on the gourd, using previously applied grids.
“Once the pattern is designed I engrave the contours. The next steps is marking the place of every single hole and painting of the gourd.”
Here are some of our favorite creations by him.

]]>“We share our home planet Earth with other species,” she reflected in an interview with Stereolux, “and we may be the most evolved because we can manipulate our environment the most, but I think that this comes with an arrogance from us which has proven detrimental.”
Most known between her pieces are her giant bunnies, lit from within, Parer explains that she enjoys playing with scale as it offers a chance for humans to feel small, and to experience a sense of humility. “There is also the added effect which is that it allows people to enter a space of fantasy,” she notes. “Either way, I aim for it to be a journey.”
Employing scale, light, and humor entices the audience, and demands their attention. The giant installation also serve to stimulate the imagination while offering scope for reflection about our state with the natural world.
“I love art because it is so varied,” admits Parer. “Personally, I enjoy art that is responding to what is happening now, therefore my work explores man’s relationship with the natural world and our role within it. I present my artwork to promote discussion.”

]]>The post Liz West Uses Light as an Art Tool appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>According to West, this exploration indeed stems from her childhood. “Most of my earliest memories as a child were of discovering the world in a sensory capacity,” she explained in an interview with Young Artists in Conversation. “I was attracted to objects, land and city scapes, spaces and fashion that were made of vibrant colors, the brightest tones, and hues and of strong saturation,” she recalls.
A key element in her work is the ethereal relationship between color and light. “I believe that understanding of color can only be realised through the presence of light,” says West. Using light as a tool, she fills architectural spaces or fabricated structures which immerse the viewer in a rich, saturated environment.
Her art, which spans site-specific installations, sculptures, and wall-based artwork, has been commissioned worldwide by renowned institutions and organizations that include the Natural History Museum, London Design Festival, Natural England, and Bristol Biennial.
“For me, the two mediums of color and light are inextricably connected,” she stresses. “I am not attracted to surface color like I am to luminous color, hence not being a traditional painter. Subjective mixtures of colors are core to my understanding of color and have helped shape the backbone of my practice, but it is my ongoing investigations into additive mixtures that inspire my work.”
The end result is often magical. Take a look.

]]>In one series – called the Portals Series – he creates stunning installations (which he calls Portals or Icosahedrons) out of titanium, LED lights, and transparent mirrors. According to James, he was greatly inspired by the historical cosmology of Plato. “The Icosahedron is the highest and most beautiful geometric shape of the five platonic bodies and is associated with the element water,” he said. “Water is all about flow, movement, and unity.”
“Anthony James’ work takes up the concepts of the universal and transcendental in order to demonstrate the impossibility of their representation,” art historian Rachel Baum went on to explain. “The historical cosmology of Plato is a primary inspiration, both for the sculptures of icosahedrons and for the silhouette of Baroque architecture Francesco Borromini’s dome for Sant’Ivo in Rome.”
Exhibited internationally in galleries, museums, and art fairs, James’ art is best experienced live. But you can catch some sprinkles of magic online, through his Instagram page.
