Digital Print Stimulation   Basso & Brooke S/S12 Prints print pattern

With experimental digital prints continuing to trend for Spring/Summer 2013, the Patternbank crew spotted these amazing photo collage prints by Brit/Brazilian duo Basso & Brooke. These prints are from their current Spring/Summer 2012 collection but with their creative forward thinking, we are seeing this style of print as a key reference point for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2013 catwalk shows. Mixing photo floral elements, abstract surreal backdrops and digitally manipulated imagery, Basso & Brooke are definitely the designers to keep an eye on for upcoming digital print trends.

Surreal Collage Compositions   Beth Hoeckel inspiration

After visiting the recent Bread & Butter show in Berlin, the Patternbank team saw that photographic prints are still featuring strong for Spring/Summer 2013 graphics. Colourful, surreal prints are still a main focus for many brands for next summer. With this in mind we thought we’d share these imaginary photo collage prints from Beth Hoeckel. Mixing realist and surrealist Hoeckel’s work plays with the juxtaposition between foreground and background objects. Baltimore based Hoeckel is a collage artist and photographer who loves the control of real paper, ink and adhesive.

Multiple Exposure Portraits 2.0   Christoffer Relander inspiration

These amazing portraits are the work of graphic designer and self-taught Finnish photographer Christoffer Relander. The Patternbank team were stunned by his creative experimentation that generate these double and triple exposure images. Heavy contrast adjustment help blend nature and human form in these fascinating photo artworks. Using his trusted Nikon D700 and some skillful work in iLightroom editing suite, Relander creates a series of beautifully captivating statements.

Uncontrolled Geometric Expression   Chris Trueman inspiration

With painterly print effects still trending on recent catwalks and print shows, Patternbank saw these incredible artworks. Chris Trueman lives and works in the Los Angeles area and is graduate from the San Francisco Art Institute. His paintings are a explosion of colour , linear forms and abstract texture. In his latest dynamic collection, entitled ‘Stripes’, Trueman explores geometric form and fluid movement to create a visual feast. See more of his work at his portfolio site christrueman.com

The Future is Always Bright   Tomokazu Matsuyama inspiration

The Future looks bright with Tomokazu Matsuyama’s interpretation of a technophilic, chaotic, energetic world bursting with bright colours and Asian symbols and superstitions. This current exhibition showing at the Frey Norris Gallery in San Francisco consists of sculptures and a mixture of small and large paintings in strange and amorphous shapes, rectilinear and curvaceous. Matsuyama grew up in both California and Japan and currently lives in New York city. We love his collage technique and how pattern and colour collide together to form a rather chaotic if not optimistic world. To see more about the exhibition go to freynorris.com and Tomokazu’s website matzo.net
