I hate stating this but as a designer and an artist...more and more frequently I am finding contemporary art boring.
Certainly not influencial and rarely exciting me.
But then, along comes hope......a book by photographer James Welling.
If you are lucky enough to live in NYC, check out the Donald Young Gallery, if not, certainly buy his book which should be in any library of a curious designer.
James Wellings' latest images seem at first to be influenced by another movement we are all so familiar with - the vector floral sillo's seen everywhere.....but his unique effect of using shadow and natural form combine to create a surprisingly fresh expression. Surely, this will be ripped off in a plethora of homage's over the next few years, but steal it now, while it is still new!
