Niko Photographisme’s ‘The Robot Next Door’ Series

In Niko Photographisme's "The Robot Next Door" series, the artist depicts a world in which robotic creatures are among us. Blending analog materials with a bit of digital manipulation to create a surreal final product, the artist is able to create an intimate view of a sci-fi scenario. Depicting the figures taking part in everyday activities, the pieces carry a surprising vulnerability to match the futuristic concept.

“We live in a world of appearances,” the photographer says of the series. “In the real life and the digital world. We play roles, characters. But appearances are often false or deceptive.” The French artist describes his practice as “humorous, surreal, strange, always something impossible with a touch of credibility.”

Rodrigo Luff Paints a Surreal, Luminous World in “Nemeta”

Fantasy, Rodrigo Luff, surrealism

February 26, 2016

Australian artist Rodrigo Luff's paintings of women in luminous realms take us back to a more innocent time before Eve bit into the forbidden apple. Previously featured here on our blog, the Sydney based artist finds his inspiration in an array of artists, science and nature, from the electric colors of the Northern Lights to fantastical worlds created by Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki. Luff's goddess-like characters are not visitors into this magical place, but feel right at home among flocks of owls, deer and other creatures of the forest. "I’m interested in the way we have always sought a connection to the natural world, and how that liminal, mysterious and wild realm reflects those uncharted dimensions within our psyche," he says.

May 12, 2015

Mikko Lagerstedt is a self-taught landscape photographer passionate about capturing the natural wonders of his home country, Finland. He first became interested in shooting these incredible vistas when driving to a relative's cabin in the countryside one summer. "After a rainy day, the sun started shining, and the fog was rising in the fields," writes the artist in his statement. "I just had to stop and watch this beautiful moment and then I realized that I want to start capturing these kinds of moments." Ever since then, Lagerstedt has spent his time capturing Finland's glittering night skies and pristine forests, using his expert editing skills to bring out the otherworldly qualities of these real-life settings. His work makes us want to book plane tickets to Finland already.
