Pedro Friedeberg – Religion, The Occult and Fantasy Lands

By On · In Inspiration

Pedro Friedeberg Religion, The Occult and Fantasy Lands inspiration

Patternbank love Pedro Friedeberg’s obsessively crowded and meticulously detailed canvases, with their highly patterned buildings, icons and symbols, they’re a textile designers dream. Featuring references to religion such as Catholiscm and Hinduism, with symbols from the occult and Tantric scriptures, his paintings are full of wonder and fantasy. Into all this he’ll add classical images and Disney figures making them full of surprise and great examples of Surrealism or fantastic realism. Friedeberg was born in Florence, Italy when at the age of 3 his parents immigrated to Mexico. Here he studied architecture at the Universidad Iberoamericana, where he was profoundly influenced by the teaching of Mathias Goeritz. Check out his website where you can read more on his thoughts of the world and art.

Michael Dotson – Surreal Neon Futurism

By On · In Inspiration

Michael Dotson Surreal Neon Futurism inspiration

We’re loving these paintings by Brooklyn based Michael Dotson who graduated from the American University in Washington DC in 2011. Incorporating a surrealist mix of Tron like futurism, neon 80′s tinged colours and a juxtaposition of organic foliage, patterns and hard angles these paintings are truly stunning. Go check his website for more or his Flickr page.

Hannah Waldron – Texture, Pattern and Structure

By On · In Print + Pattern

Hannah Waldron Texture, Pattern and Structure 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.

For an artist still completing her degree at the University of Applied Science in Hamburg, Ramona Ring has an astonishing maturity of style and technique. Using a combination of hand drawn illustrations and digital effects, Ramona builds her artwork in layers. Using only pencil and paper initially, her work is then scanned and coloured in photoshop. Patternbank love her use of strong linea imagery and subtle colour combinations which create texture and pattern in her art.
