Arcane Palette Creative Design » artistic graphic design

BEST | EVER is a street art duo from Bournemouth, England.  Their work combines surrealism with photorealism and addresses issues of human frailty, weakness, disease and death.  As you can imagine, the art of BEST | EVER transcends simple graffiti with their hauntingly beautiful images.  The subversive act of applying paint to public surfaces forces you to consider that some art is too important to be confined to stuffy and claustrophobic gallery spaces.

You can see more of BEST | EVER’s work on their website or their Flickr photo stream.  You can learn more about them in this interview or follow their Tumblog.

Doing Only Crooked Shit is a design duo based in Sao Paolo and Leeds,  UK that does visual art, graffiti, design and illustration.  And they’re pretty  much awesome.  I discovered them via their Times New Yorker free font available on DaFont.  Their illustrations and graffiti art explore typography and pop culture in new and interesting ways.  Below are a few of my favorites.

We’ve been wanting to talk about art more.  As artists, we’re always interested in new and innovative things that other artists are doing.  Occasionally that applies to websites, but occasionally that applies to, you know, real art — tangible art you can look at and (possibly) touch and smell and experience.  I’m hoping that this post represents the first in a series of posts about art and artists.  Stuff we like and would like to share.

Jenevieve Hubbard is a local artist in Salt Lake City.  While originally from Cedar City, Utah, she spent much of her childhood in a native traditional village in Alaska, and absorbed the sights, sounds, smells and stories of the Y’upik people.

Her multimedia art caught our attention because she often uses unconventional materials like dirt, tea and india ink.  Her latest body of work, titled Narrow Passage, uses embroidered silk carved into wood panels.  If you’re in the Salt Lake Area  you should consider checking out her show at the Charley Hafen Gallery.

Here is a collection of some of her previous work:
