Make-Up

Francesco Vezzoli

A Palazzo Gallery in Brescia is currently hosting Make-Up, a new hot exhibition dealing with aesthetic beauty and its transformations. Twelve famous artists give their own interpretation to the meaning of beauty, with 2D and 3D works, experimenting with cosmetic cut-outs and allegorical abstractions on famous or unknown faces, finally resulting to an esoteric purification, beyond the mainstream standards.
The participating artists are: Maurizio Anzeri, John Bock, Dr.Lakra, Lothar Hempel, Jamie Isenstein, Alan Reid, Markus Schinwald, John Stezaker, Sue Tompkins, Ryan Trecartin, Vedovamazzei and Francesco Vezzoli.
Curated by Mariuccia Casadio
The exhibition will last by the 11th March, 2012

Nuptus by Sylvio Giardina


The S/S 2012 collection of fashion designer and visual artist Sylvio Giardina is titled Nuptus and is inspired by clouds and their ever-changing forms. Playing with proportions, volumes and the sphericity of the feamle figure, Giardina gave his garments a fluid, almost liquid form with the use of polyethelene foam and Swarovski-crystal-embellished jersey.
The result is an outstanding game of sculpture and movement.










Miss Aniela


Miss Aniela is a fine art and commercial photographer from London. Her work has been featured in big media like Vogue Italia, the Guardian, BBC, NY Arts and more, exhibited internationally in Europe and US, while her two books "Self Portrait Photography" & "Creative Portrait Photography" have been massive hits.
Her images mostly feature ethereal figures, often multiple, defeating gravity, mysterious creatures from another dimension. Even her commercial works are pure art, moving beyond ordinary product campaigns, finally becoming classics.

She says about her work:
"I pour my mind into everything I create, and always aim to push the envelope with consistently compelling imagery with the highest production value possible. Photography is always my 'living' whether I am working on personal or commercial work, because it is creating that keeps me feeling alive. I want to stir people to question and to think, intelligibly - about the problems, the beauty, and the conflict between them, in the world around us today."

Miss Aniela is also active with events, workshops and talks, having delivered talks, photo-walks and workshops for Microsoft and Phase One.
She has also self-branded her own workshop-style event, the 'Fashion Shoot Experience' in London, to be extended to NYC in 2012.

Josh Keyes


Josh Keyes' illustrations are a trip to our planet's dark future through Apocalyptic images of archetypes and symbols. Inspired by the aesthetics and philosophy of the eighteenth century and scientific textbook illustrations, he places animals into urban or industrial scenery, turning them into mythical creatures, speaking about the hopes, fears and anxiety of our time. Keyes' graphic style is actually a rather eco-surrealistic project, combining reality, future and nightmare into an explosive blend.
