The World is Full of So Much Talent

One of the best parts of my jobs is the research. ?I get to learn, discover, and be inspired by the immense breadth of talent in the world – Inspiration from the talent around me is a fundamental part of design and creativity.
I have spent my entire career collecting the images, prints, artists that have created a leaping point for a design brief, articulated a colour palette, expressed a style, texture, use of geometry, the list is endless.
I have often considered that there really is no such thing as idea ownership, we are all building from one another, inspired by one another. Our influence on each other can trigger reflection, revelation, and solutions. It is humbling and impressive what people achieve with their talent and creative minds.
With this in mind – here are some overdue thankyous, shout outs and general applause to some talented points of inspiration.

PETECIA LE FAWNHAWK’s sculpture work is incredible. A beautiful blend or architecture, the surreal, juxtaposition, shadow, negative space and geometry. I think her use of geometry is powerful, elegant, and thoughtful. It is a reminder that often it is where you are NOT putting things that has the most impact.
'The nothing that is not there
And the nothing that is'
LIZ WEST’s work is painfully beautiful! If you are looking for inspiration for saturated, memorising use of colour combined with a pitch perfect sense of placement, composition and contrast in architecture look no further.

?MONOCOLOR (MARIAN ESSEL) is an audio-visual artist that utilises – music and imagery to envelope the viewer in a totally stark, immersive and captivating world. The images and patterns used are created algorithmically yet feel organic and fluid. His work is poignant, contemplative and hypnotising. ?

LYGIA PAPE ?was a Brazilian visual artist and sculptor, who was part of the neo/ concrete art movement. Her geometric abstraction, sense of scale, and composition are a gift to those considering different ways to place architecture, frame spaces, intersect shapes.

COOPER & GORFER ?are and American/Austrian art duo. They create portraits that mix collage, painting and photography and use many techniques in their work – layering, stitching, drawing, scratching. Their work feels poetic, romantic like renaissance art and theatrical tableaus reinvented.
TROIKA is a Franco-German contemporary art group formed by Eva Rucki, Conny Freyer and Sebastien Noel. They work across sculpture, film, installation, and painting. I was blown away by their site-specific installation called Arcades that created gothic architecture using refracted light rays.

CHIHARU SHIOTA is a Japanese installation artist. She is best known for her immense, dramatic, impactful installations which consist of dazzling, intricate networks of threads stretching across gallery rooms. These installations evoke personal, touching and moving stories of the human condition.
?KATJA LANG is a contemporary artist that uses etching and watercolour to create powerful yet delicate winter landscapes. She is a perfect example of how technique, imagination and minimalism combine to evoke beautiful haunted subtle imagery. ?
NB - apologies to the artist Peticia Le Fawnhawk - I could not find the names of your individual pieces to label the images of your work correctly
