PLUS and MINUS things

We found these amazing charcoal drawings by Robert Longo (currently residing in Brooklyn, NY with his family) via Bauldoff a great blog by designer Joe Bauldoff. These drawings are truely amazing and would love to see them in real life sometime. A bunch of them are large format (see below some more drawings as well as an overview of some of his exhibits).

Here is information on 2 current exhibits of Longo’s work.

I have also added some older work by Rober Longo, like the “Black Flag: The Ballot or the Bullet” (1991) and the Wax “When Heaven and Hell Change Places” (1992).

A while back I created this post but never actually posted it online. Desiree Dolron is a fantastic photographer from The Netherlands, born in 1963 in Haarlem. She has traveled the world and has managed to capture things in a very spectacular manner. Above is her series called Xteriors. Below are some photos of the Te Di Todos Mis Suenos series, taken I believe in Cuba. Her photographs have something mystical and mysterious, colourful and colourless all in one. Would love to have a couple of her photographs on our walls. There is something picasso-esque about some the Xteriors series (the blue period of course).

I found Marleen Sleeuwits’ work via a great blog by Jacob Heftmann who has great daily post (opposite to my blog lately). Marleen is based in The Hague, The Netherlands and has a pretty divers body of work, but mainly her work is about space and in her words “the non-relationship with space she finds herself in”

Marleen has also been commission by design companies for product photography, by graphic design companies for portrait photography as well as by magazines to photograph for their covers. The last 2 layouts shown in this post are for Akzo Nobel, I really enjoy the spaces she photographed for them.

Her photography of spaces is very intriguing and clean, the colours are phenominal. I will defitnitely have to check out her work more frequently.

Thanks Jacob!
