Shank Shack - 30 Shanks in 30 Days

Ryan Nance November 28, 2017

From the project page:

"Sharp, knifelike utensils have been made by humans for the last 2.6 million years. All cultures make use of a form of a knife and there are hundreds of types made from metal, plastic, stone, ceramic, glass and wood. For the launch of the web store, Chen Chen and Kai Williams present Shank Shack, 30 shanks in 30 days. These sharp utensils were made as an exercise in experimentation of connections and manipulation of proportions and materials. All pieces in the series achieve one goal and show the myriad of methods one could improvise to achieve that goal. All pieces are unique works and are signed and numbered."

Ryan Nance December 8, 2014

Adam Lister has a pretty keen sense of style and humor. His 8-bit paintings, ranging from Breaking Bad, Super Heroes, and Star Wars to versions of Van Gogh and other iconic paintings, could just be a gag. But instead they have a tone and feel about them that is part nostalgic, part irreverent: a delicate homage.

You should buy these as giclee prints on his website.

Historic & Contemporary Japan Erupt into Each Other

Ryan Nance April 21, 2014

A Japanese artist classically trained in Yamato-e (traditional Japanese painting), Akira Yamaguchi's large format watercolors demonstrate a refinement on par with the old masters. These paintings, however, take another look. They are of an historic color, bristling with the tools, locations, things and situations of contemporary Japan. Skyscrapers seem clearly the cousins of the Heiji Castles they replaced. Rocket launchers, airplanes. Truly astounding.
