Chicara Nagata 2

It's not about speed, it's all about design and emotion. Looking at Chicara Nagata's bikes, high end finish and the beautiful materials, you can't but wonder how would it feel to drive one.
We mentioned Chicara before, but these moped are just exquisite and not something most custom builders usually tackle. Small mopeds with great style...

This little 25cc Honda in fact is designed to be a surveillance camera.

Peter Christian Johnson

Peter Christian Johnson currently lives and works in La Grande, Oregon. His art looks like artifacts from a far away lost civilisation. Big, massive pieces you don't usually see in ceramics, P. C. Johnson's series give you a clear hint of what to expect; 'Deconstruction' - 'Relics' - 'Construction' - Grapple' - 'Industrial artefacts'.

 

Peter Christian Johnson; "Much of My work is meant to be dislocated in time, seemingly a remnant of the past oran artifact from the distant future. Each piece is a reflection on the passing of time, and a monument to labor. They catalogue the act of making, of constructing, of inventing, and reinventing, and speak to the never ending flow of both time and human attempts at progress."

 

 

Jee Young Lee

Somewhere in Seoul, in the tiny little space of her 3 by 6 metre studio, Jee Young Lee materializes fantasy worlds over and over again. Everything is handmade, filling the room can take weeks, even months. All these weird universes are born from a fantasy without boundaries.
"Whereas traditional photography submits extracts of reality to our eyes, the artist offers excerpts from her heart, her memory, or her dreams. Restrained by the inherent limits of the conventional
photographic medium, she adds plastic creativity and theatrical performance to it, in order to blow life into her immense needs of expression, and interrogation."
Jee Young Lee's work is as much installation as it is photography. A self-portrait in a strange universe, her quest for an identity,  her desires and a frame of mind.
