Julien Vallée's Paper Sculpture for Illustrative Zurich

I recently lost all the files in my computer, including several thousand saved links and images of briefly-acknowledged art to refer to at a later date. While the reality of this still hasn’t set in, Montrealer Julien Vallée‘s piece for Illustrative Zurich stuck in my head.

I hated this the first ten times I saw it, and didn’t fully appreciate it until last night, when I sat thinking about vector art and colour wheels. The key words I used to track it down included “light passing violently through a prism” and I would love to find this hanging at the entrance to the giant three-story open-plan art supply shop in Soho with the walls and walls of colour-co-ordinated sketchbooks and paint pens.

His high-saturation, angular designs are so full of life and energy, and I will readily accept another year of MTV-style art and advertising at his hand.

After an evening of particularly disagreeable design, it is sublimely satisfying to find a fresh approach to sclupture. American Brian Dettmer‘s inspired work with altered vintage books reminds me of summers of homemade book safe projects and the set of 1968 Encyclopedia Britannicas that I referred to almost exclusively every day until the advent of the Internet.

I don’t understand if Norwegian Are Mokkelbost is a collective or a single split personality, but I’m feeling these paper collages that look like the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel through a kaleidoscope.
