Reindeer Power!

Written by Valentina on . Posted in Animation, video

Reindeer (2010) by the animation collective Treat:

“One of 5 short idents we did for E4 on the topic of Christmas. The general idea was to surprise people with something really anti-christmas, and transform something boring into something amazing. It was alot of hard work for a relatively short time but they were really fun to do and much merriment was had by all.”

The other shorts are: WorkshopChristmas TreesPole Dance, and Carol Singers.

Surreal paintings and digital works by François Escalmel:

“I’m a storyteller working with the absence of words. A grassroots revisionist of my personal history. With an attitude that oscillates between fascination and criticism, I strive to create dark and comical fables, that I hope, are relevant. Improbable combinations that emotionally ring true, affirmative expressions of the human experience.”

Geoffrey Pugen

Written by Valentina on . Posted in Art, photography

“With theatrical absurdity, Pugen explores relationships between real and staged performance, the natural and the artificial, and tensions of virtual identity, through altering and manipulating images. Working with video, film, and photography in the digital realm Pugen renders situations that examine our perceptions of how history, documentation, and simulation intersect.”

“Artist SIT has been part of the Amsterdam creative scene for many years. Doing action painting, graphic design, advertising and more until he got fed up. He went back to square one to find his true essence. Back to head and handcraft.”
