Visual Wonderland: 5 Slick Imagery And Artworks From The Week
Visual Wonderland: 5 Slick Imagery And Artwork From The Week

A collection of visuals where art and style hold sway, with no room for monotony

While the regular monotony of life blends together with the seemingly soulless void of grey and white hues, there has been a visual renaissance of crazy design and cool concepts taking over Instagram and social media. Examples include the KAWS: HOLIDAY installation in Indonesia and artist Ai Weiwei’s moving installation in Denmark. To celebrate this trend, we’ve taken a look at five designs that aren’t too loud nor too boring but just the right amount of slick.

 

Lewis Hamilton’s Daft Punk-esque Lid

Hamilton might be struggling to earn enough points on the grid, but off it, the British driver has been scoring a perfect 10/10 when it comes to his style. Now, to take things up a notch for the Japanese Grand Prix, Hamilton has teamed up with Japanese illustrator Hajime Sorayama for a metallic, Daft Punk-inspired helmet that features a fluorescent strip in the centre of the visor, allowing it to illuminate. While it is likely that he may find himself trailing Max once again in the next GP, at least he’ll be looking good while doing so.

Capitalizing on today’s grainy, retro aesthetics to promote its Fall/Winter collection, the Istanbul-based e-commerce platform has done something quite cool with Korean artist Cho Gi-Seok. Termed as “First Wave,” the campaign looks like it was shot on the streets of Blade Runner 2049, trading in Gosling’s leather jackets for a range of cargo pants and jackets with boxy designs.

What colour is your Bugatti (watch)? Whatever the answer might be, it may not be as visually striking as this timepiece. With 266 white diamonds and 73 specifically-cut baguette rubies, this Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Rubies and White Diamonds watch weighs in at 15.36 carats when you also consider the 30 white diamonds and 30 rubies on the crown.

Performance artist and China’s best-known dissident, Ai Weiwei, has created some of the most visually moving art pieces around the world, often serving as a long rallying cry for freedom and equality. But perhaps his latest installation at Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Denmark might be one of the most powerful. Named “Soleil Levant,” after Claude Monet’s 1872 painting, the installation, composed of piled-up life jackets, sheds light on the refugee crisis that has tragically claimed thousands of lives at sea as people attempt to escape their troubled lands.

 

A Roman Ring Lost In Time

A throwback so ancient that the term “throwback” hadn’t even been coined aptly describes this Roman Empire ring, believed to be from the 1st century AD. Adorned with an Ametrine stone, the gold ring showcases an intricately and masterfully crafted artwork of Thetis, the sea goddess, riding the mythical creature Hippocamp.
