{Graphics} Six Architects | Posters by Andrea Gallo

I love these 6 minimal architectural graphics by Andrea Gallo. Aren't they beautiful and simple, yet so evocative? His crisp black and white graphics simplify and recreate the work of some of modern architecture’s most famed structures — from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum to Louis Kahn’s National Assembly Building in Bangladesh. Check them out, and let us know in the comments which one you’d like to hang on your walls.

{Art} Architecture in film: Archicine by Federico Babina

Artist and illustrator Federico Babina has come up with  a fun new series, ARCHICINE, representing iconic works of architecture that have played protagonists on film. The architectural space in the film is not just a background but becomes as an added protagonist. Movies have the ability to transport us to different worlds and lives and let us live and breathe real or fantastic architecture.

{Art} Poem paintings by Jamie Poole

I love this work by poem painter Jamie Poole, a lovely mixture of portraiture, typography and collage. What a wonderful idea to deconstruct printed poems into individual words and using the text to create large scale portraits. 
The final pieces are quite large, and allow for amazing detail in both line and shadow. You can see more images of Jamie’s work on his Blog.

{Art} Hutt Lagoon series by Steve Back

I love these abstract aerial photographs of Hutt Lagoon in Western Australia, by photographer Steven Back. Isn't it amazing that these colours occur naturally because of an algae. In these manmade lagoons, the algae have been concentrated to be farmed for food colouring. Thanks to colour bloc for sharing.
