A stands for Art

Every limited edition pieces have spectacular design. But some of them are worthy for additional attention. “Colier” is a limited edition of sparkling wine targeted to business women. And design of its package is stunning. It was created by united team of two designers from Ukraine – Reynolds and Reyner. There are exist two variants of design: 23 luxury sets “Brut” which consist of bottle and presentation box and 5 premium sets “Vintage Brut” which consist of handmade bottle and cocoon container. Cocoon container is also interesting. All the weight is focused in its bottom part that’s why it don’t turn upside down. And it also keeps cold inside before opening. So as a present champagne “Colier” will be unforgetable!

Meet Hamad Al Humaidhan, a 10-year-old British schoolboy who is being hailed around the globe as the next Picasso. According to BBC News, he has “stunned the art world by producing paintings that look like Picasso’s". He hasn’t stunned Coxsoft Art. I’ve always claimed that any child could produce tripe like Picasso’s. Hamad is a charming lad, despite the affectation of a French beret, and I wish him well. I just hope all this misplaced adulation from ignorant art pundits doesn’t deter him from attending art school when he’s older and learning how to paint. Click the title link for a BBC video of Hamid and his parents being interviewed by Anna Holligan.

For those of you who don’t know what Morph is (see next post down) here’s … er … a statue of the little fellow on display at the National Media Museum in Bradford. He was a Plasticine stop-motion character designed by Aardman Animations to appear with the late Tony Hart on BBC TV’s art programmes for children. He first appeared in Take Hart in 1977. His most recent outing was in 2009, when he made a guest appearance in the BBC TV series Ashes to Ashes. Click the title link for more information.

Here’s a slightly better photo of that Martyrdom of St Lawrence which L’Osservatore Romano claimed to be a newly discovered Caravaggio (CLICK). The Vatican newspaper has now published an expert’s opinion that dismisses its own claim. Looking at this graphic, it is obvious that St Lawrence’s anatomy is doing some weird and wonderful things that only Aardman Animations’ Plasticine Morph could achieve, but that aren’t so funny. Caravaggio? Oh come on. Compare the anatomy of his Amor Victorious (CLICK).

This stunning robot called C.R.A.B. will provide a peek into the future of Policing. Could this be the next replacement for the Police patrol officer, armed guard, or even a substitute for the Police patrol vehicle (and driver)? Such a machine could revolutionise the nature of Policing; combining the role of a Police vehicle and Police Officer into one, utilising advanced robotics and artificial intelligence technology. For now it’s just a concept created by talanted artist Jamie Martin using 3D software but it’s brilliant idea. Apart from the concept Jamie placed this robot into relevant interior. So that’s not just an ordinary work. Check photos and video of this creative and extremely high-quality and you will be impressed!
