Cultura Inquieta

Doopaint es un estudio de pintura mural y decoración creativa que lleva más de diez años realizando murales de todos los tamaños y técnicas imaginables. Cultura Inquieta presume y se enorgullece de contar con su apoyo y gran empuje creativo. Estarán con nosotros exhibiendo su buen hacer en clave de street art el día 17 de mayo en la sala Caracol de Madrid, en la fiesta de presentación del Festival Cultura Inquieta 2012. Así mismo, y con más pausa, disfrutaremos de su actividad durante el desarrollo del festival, en el mes de julio, en Getafe.

El estilo de doopaint es todo lo que tu cabeza pueda concebir: desde las formas más modernas y transgresoras hasta lo más clásico y académico. Su filosofía se centra en desarrollar trabajos técnicamente impecables sin desatender el lado más cálido, creativo e impactante del conjunto.

Artist Dorothee Golz lives and works in Vienna. Among her digital painting and photography projects, this one takes classic Renaissance paintings (such as Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer) and turns them into modern situations.

Mike Stilkey, aka “the man who paints on books” is an artist from Los Angeles who has always been attracted to painting and drawing not only on vintage paper, record covers and book pages, but on the books themselves.

With the help of paint, colored pencils, ink and lacquer, Mike manages to create interesting artful scenes which complement the books’  story lines. His works are usually based on unusual characters inspired by fairy tales and fiction writings. We dedicate a post to this original artist, because we like a lot the originality of this painting-on-books idea and we consider his projects something that most of us would like to have in our living room bookcases. However, in the case of the mosaic paintings (last three photos) we do not know if it is possible to read the books after the artwork is finished!

American street artist Mark Jenkins‘ models of people lying in the street or on rooftops and in rivers have led to worried calls to police, paramedics and firefighters. Mark Jenkins travels the world placing his unusual temporary artworks in busy urban areas.

He said his aim is to get people to look up from their mobile phones for a split second and engage with the world around them. He started his career by placing a figure in a refuse dump in Rio de Janeiro to draw attention to children living in the streets. 

These are just a few of many wonderful pieces by Italian sculptor Matteo Pugliese. His bronze sculptures of men, often made from multiple components, appear to be trapped in the vertical space of walls.

"Live Free or Die". Check out these brilliant “message-a-gami” pieces by artist, Dan Tague. In this case, money really does talk.

We want to show you a creative way to use your dollar bills – it’s similar to origami, the Japanese traditional paper craft, but with a little twist. New Orleans-based artist Dan Tague folds a dollar bill as many as 100 times, until it spells out an unexpected phrase, including “We Need A Revolution” and “Trust No One.” He photographs the origami currency on a black background and prints the photos in large format (large enough that the Treasury Department can’t accuse him of counterfeiting). Tague’s themes are protest, American history and, of course, money.

Born in Madrid, Fernando Vicente began his career in the ’80′s, mixing illustration with painting. His unique style embodies bold and slightly aggressive visual concepts, giving him the freedom to play with the composition. Experimentation is his motto, shifting and mixing different environments in just one work.

Very original series by the photographer and the French graphic designer Malo. These pictures depict the day of an invisible man like any other man. 

British artist Mark Powell has produced these striking drawings despite only using the most basic of materials: ink and paper. These series of portraits have been drawn on backs of old envelopes and using nothing more than a standard Bic Biro pen. The results are captivating.

We took a look back to the 15th century to submit ourselves to the sublime beauty of Sandro Boticelli's art. Since then, the world has seen the work of many outstanding artists - but has The Birth of Venus ever been surpassed?
