We guess the idea of Valentine’s Day has been slowly seeping into our brains, because boy did we fill our Pinterest stream with heart-shaped things galore. But we also spotted a lot triangles this week, cropping up into our minds. And also we pondered strange homes, cactus and stacks of — Continue reading
Kind of loving this punch of color and pattern for a Friday afternoon by Austin, Texas-based illustrator Sophie Roach! Characterized by a wild maze of lines, squiggles, shapes and color, these illustrated compositions are manic, energetic and infused with personality. Definitely sporting a bit of a late 1980s -1990s vibe, — Continue reading

We guess the idea of Valentine’s Day has been slowly seeping into our brains, because we couldn’t help but think about the colors of love — pink, red, purple — in terms of interiors, patterns, art and architecture, and you know what? We spotted a lot. But we also spotted — Continue reading

You might remember artist Michael Jantzen from previous posts on 2Modern, like We Like What They Do: Michael Jantzen, Michael Jantzen’s Interactive Segmented Tables and Michael Jantzen’s Stair Scape Bridge. Well this new post chronicles his recent series of conceptual art sculptures known as “The House As A Metaphor.” In the artist’s — Continue reading
This looks like snow falling in an artist’s winter landscape with vivid blues and sparkly flakes in motion as one drives through a snow fall. This metro station in Naples is among the trend of using the underground, tube, metros or otherwise known as the subway, as a canvas. — Continue reading
With winter-y weather gripping most parts of the country this week, it came to no surprise to ourselves that this week we were drawn to winter-feeling pins: dark, dramatic, ethereal, moody, soft, safe, warm, cold and scary. This week we had a ton of great pins to choose from to — Continue reading

Is it unraveling or coming together? They could resemble pencil scribbles, though Tomohiro Inaba’s iron sculptures are 3 dimensional and much more thought out defying gravity. The solid form seems to dissolve into the air cleverly and masterfully done for this young artist you just finished his graduate studies — Continue reading
Much of abstract art begs the question: “What is it?” This abstract public installation of 1024 Architecture’s representation of a Christmas Tree was erected for the Plaisirs d’Hiver event in the city of Brussels (Belgium). It has blinking led lights of red, green, white, blue and gold — Continue reading

Atlanta, Georgia-based artist Drew Tyndell is really doing something special with wood. Using flat pieces of intricately cut and sometimes-painted different grains and species of wood, he creates flat, 2D art pieces that sometimes depict 3D ideas. It’s meta and fresh all in one. With an obvious eye for composition — Continue reading
Just in time for the holidays great stocking stuffers for the kids and perhaps some adults too. These Crayon Rings satisfy my love of jewelry and drawing. I have not tried them yet. Yet, being the key word here. These are produced by Kikkerland, when your regular crayons just — Continue reading

Well…. I ALWAYS say wear jewelry! In fact, I love jewelry. I always have. All kinds of jewelry. And I have seen a lot of jewelry. What is most interesting about Ware London is the use of material, the theme of repetition and the combination of design and — Continue reading
This was my first Basel, so I’ll be honest when I say I was fairly overwhelmed, totally under-prepared and completely knocked off my feet…in a good way! You’ll find no thorough examination of all the artists in this blog post — Basel is one huge show full of over 200 — Continue reading
These are phrases we’ve used to describe Megan Geckler before (in our posts Artist Megan Geckler’s Bold Bobble Installation and Megan Geckler: Installing Awesome): She transforms environments in colorful ways using different materials to create often-times geometric, repeating patterns that have such a great soul to them. Also? She creates site specific color experiences–little — Continue reading
What do geometric shapes and organic lines look like when mixed with the medium of watercolor? Much like the dramatic yet earthy art of Jan Heaton. Not very complicated and not with a lot of depth, these watercolor pieces have a very ethereal, dainty, dreamy feel to them. The artist’s — Continue reading
Feasting seems to be on everyone’s mind with the holidays behind and ahead of us. I know I always look forward to the savory turkey and yummy apple pie. But now you can travel with your feast and not gain a single pound. Imagine just for a moment to — Continue reading
