Tangible | High Touch Visuals

Manifesting creative visions into material objects and spaces is one of the most prominent developments in contemporary design today. Tangible documents how designers are using the stylistic means of graphic design to implement their ideas spatially to create three-dimensional designs, objects and orchestrated spaces. The examples in this book show the unprecedented use of materials and innovative ideas – graphics morph into spatial sculptures, the intangible is made visual through handmade craftsmanship, physical experiences, visual environments and staged spatial installations such as art installations, interiors and architecture as well as urban interventions.

Vania | A Monograph

The Russian-born artist Vania Zouravliov creates surreally haunting illustrations. In artworks that often depict beautiful women involved in macabre or erotic scenes, Vania’s intense emotional style evokes a nostalgia rooted in the artist’s Russian background. Drawn in painstaking detail, they capture a mixture of innocence, brutality, beauty and decay. His resulting drawings are elaborately composed and demonstrate the technical brilliance of an old master. Uleshka had the pleasure to interview Vania and write “A Conversation between Vania and Uleshka” for this first monograph presenting the expansive scope of the exceptional young talent.
