Similarities in Fashion & Art by Bianca Luini (01)

Bianca Luini is a fashion design graduate living in Milan, Italy. She sees fashion everywhere and everything in fashion. Love her beautiful and creative way of finding similarities in fashion combined with art, design, architecture, nature, photography etc. Below you find the similarities she found in these 2 photos. On the left Chloe Norgaard has been photographed by Terry Richardson versus the fluid abstract painting by Mark Chadwick. Remarkable similarity, isn't it? I wrote more blogs about her inspiring work, see MORE BLOGS

ART: Inspiring Fluid Painting by Mark Chadwick

A few pieces caught my eye this week, like this interesting artwork from the artist Mark Chadwick. This is one painting from his Fluid series in black, white and grey. Love his coloruse and the fluent used lines. 
More about the artist:
Born in 1983, Mark Chadwick is a contemporary fine artist who lives and works in the United Kingdom. Chadwick studied Fine Art at Birmingham City University and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2006 and Master of Arts in 2008. Specialising in abstract painting Chadwick's work explores ideas surrounding authorship, process and chance encounters. In his current series of fluid paintings, the unique display of forms and colours are brought together by the artist's hand but manipulated through the use of machines or natures forces. Some paintings are spun or shaken while others rely upon reactions between materials or gravity to allow the painting to almost form itself. The paintings are built up of many layers of paint, each creating it's own flowing abstract surface left open to interpretation by the viewer.
