Symmetrical photography  

Dan Mumford

Double exposure photography. All images created in camera, with slight editing of tone and vector use afterwards. 

Absolutely beautiful images, with amazing textures and tones. Creating a kind of vintage feel with two separate photo’s that seem to merge together seamlessly. 

Sophie Cauvin - born in Brussels, Belgium 1968. Risky image maker using a varied type of textures and mediums to create her work.

This set is named 
Michel de Montaigne. Michel was a famous and very influential writer during the French Renaissance in the 1500’s. His work and essays proved to be the start of scepticism and influenced many famous writers even the likes of William Shakespeare’s later works.

Erik Otto - Chasing the Sun

“I just returned to San Francisco from a 6 week trip to Arizona to visit my parents then 4 weeks in Mexico City — both very sunny and warm places. Mexico City is quickly becoming my new urban playground and source of inspiration. After getting accustomed to the weather and then returning to a very cold San Francisco, there was nothing I wanted more than warm weather again. With trips coming up to Hawaii and back to Mexico City I have been daydreaming of the warmth again and this piece is a result of that. As well, the piece carries a metaphorical message in that chasing the sun symbolizes going after what you love. ” - Erik Otto

New Zealand artist Askew original paining - Beth. 

“This piece was painted late last year, it’s a portrait of a friend of mine – a local musician of Rwandan descent. She’s an interesting personality who exudes a strong sense of personal style. I’ve been working on these portraits of people who are the faces of the New Pacific – specifically in this region in the South Pacific where I live. It’s a dynamic region with an incredible history and a rapidly changing face. This interests me a lot. It took a few decent sessions over a few days. This is becoming my trademark portrait style, the way I use colour, like a multiple exposure or as if the image is solarised. I like the combination of aggressive spray painted lines and then very refined brushwork so the painting has a sense of both motion and depth.” - Askew 

About the artist 

Although working primarily in aerosol paint, Askew is versed in graphic design, illustration, photography, publishing, music and moving image. He also collated and co-authored a book about New Zealand graffiti, ‘In-Form’ which was a Montana Book Awards finalist in 2008.

Vizie spraying for his recently past away brother Nekst over the pond in Houston. Stunning spray control and an outstanding finish. 

Nekst was a huge player in the street art game, having had tributes from the likes of Banksy since he past away he will be hugely missed  for his dedication to street art over the past 20+ years. Not even just street art, when he was locked up for 6 months he drew contemplative portraits of the other inmates - a true artist. R.I.P
