Ying Wu – Graphical Art & Pattern

By Patternbank On February 28, 2013 · In Print + Pattern

Texprint award winner 2012, Ying Wu has achieved an enviable portfolio since her foundation at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 2007. After gaining an MA in Textile Print at the Royal College of Art (RCA), Ying was selected for the Texprint program. Exhibiting at various shows including INDIGO Premier Vision with Texprint, Ying had already secured a work placement at Alexander McQueen during her time at the RCA and spent time working for Liberty’s Art Fabric design department. Patternbank love her intricate attention to detail, and the imagination which oozes from her designs. Visit Alotofpatterns for a deeper delve into her work.

Jeffrey Simmons – Stylised Galaxies

By Patternbank On February 27, 2013 · In Inspiration

Jeffrey Simmons takes inspiration from astronomical imagery similar to that produced by the Hubble Space Telescope. ”The gridded paintings were directly derived from comparative illustrations common to many astronomical textbooks, while the more random-seeing arrangements of circular patterns were intended to be evocative of wide astronomical surveys such as the well-known Hubble Deep Field.” Patternbank love the almost stained glass appearance where light and colour appears to glow behind a texture of intense dark paint. See more of Simmons work at Jefferysimmonsstudio.com

Michael Dickter – Fleeting Moments of the Natural World

By Patternbank On February 25, 2013 · In Inspiration

As paint drips down the canvas we are reminded of the urgency in time to record our thoughts and visions of the world around us. These fleeting moments when beauty surprises and astounds us are shared in Dickter’s desire to create and record the natural world. Dickter captures this with exquisiteness in marks, colour and paint, images of birds and flowers that appear frozen for us to enjoy. You can see more of these fleeting moments at michaeldickter.com

Madame Peripetie – Fashion, Sculpture and the Human Body

By Patternbank On February 20, 2013 · In Inspiration

Patternbank love Madame Peripetie’s surreal interpretations of the human body. Through high-fashion, sculpture, photography and collage Peripetie explores the boundaries between these disciplines experimenting with colour, fabric, texture and patterns. Her inspirations include surrealism, dadadism, the new wave era of the 80′s, British post punk scene and the avant-garde theatre of Robert Wilson. Check out more of her work at madameperipetie.com and on behance.net

Hannah Waldron – Texture, Pattern and Structure

By Patternbank On February 19, 2013 · In Print + Pattern

Stockholm based print designer Hannah Waldron exhibits a strong sense of pattern and structure in her prints, and more recently has embraced weave, translating her signature style into structured textiles. With an enviable list of commissions in her portfolio including a tapestry commission for PICK ME UP 2012, and various projects for the V&A, Pizza Express and Paul Smith to name but a few, Hannah’s success is abundant. Patternbank love her stylised approach to pattern, building images with simple lines and blocks. Hannah’s ‘Furoshiki‘ (a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth that were frequently used to transport clothes, gifts, or other goods) are available to buy, with 10% of sales going towards recovery efforts in Tohoku, specifically to rebuild a sewing factory where Furoshikis are made.
