Le Presse Papier : Invitez art et design sur vos murs
Sunday, November 11 2018
<p><img alt="Le Presse Papier, papier peint design" src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/le-presse-papier-01.jpg" /></p>
<p>Depuis l’origine de ce blog, j’ai eu l’occasion de vous faire découvrir de nombreux artistes et graphistes se servant des murs comme support d’expression. Quand on pense à l’art mural, actuellement le street-art vient tout de suite à l’esprit, mais ce serait extrêmement réducteur de s’y limiter. D’ailleurs, les murs ont sans doute été l’un des premiers supports artistiques de l’être humain : A Lascaux ou à la Caverne du Pont-d’Arc, nos lointains ancêtres avaient déjà compris l’intérêt du volume et de la verticalité pour mettre en scène leur graphisme ! Et plus encore, les arts décoratifs, pourtant très présents sur les murs de nombreuses cultures depuis la nuit des temps, souffrent souvent d’un certain manque d’intérêt. Aujourd’hui, je vais donc aborder le design mural sous l’angle des "arts mineurs" et vous présenter une maison d’édition de <a href="https://le-presse-papier.fr/papier-peint-design/" target="_blog">papier peint design</a> : Le Presse Papier.</p> <p><img alt="Le Presse Papier, papier peint design" src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/le-presse-papier-03.jpg" /></p>
<p>Installé à Lyon, en bas des pentes de la Croix-Rousse, l’atelier du Presse Papier redonne au papier peint ses lettres de noblesse. Ici, la recherche de qualité est omniprésente grâce à une maîtrise totale de la chaîne de fabrication. L’impression se fait sur des papiers intissés de qualité professionnelle, avec des encres latex sans solvants. Mais outre la qualité technique des réalisations, c’est avant-tout pour la qualité graphique et artistique des productions que Le Presse Papier se distingue. L’équipe de designers de la maison est issue de l’industrie textile lyonnaise, ou de la scène graphique locale, dont les réputations ne sont plus à faire. Deux grandes familles de motifs sont présents dans les collections : Des motifs géométriques jouant sur la perfection du tracé vectoriel, et des motifs peints ou dessinés à la main, reflétant la spontanéité et la sensibilité du designer.</p>
<p><img alt="Le Presse Papier, papier peint design" src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/le-presse-papier-04.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>Des collections revisitant les plus grands styles de design décoratif</strong></p>
<p>Les nombreux motifs du Presse Papier sont organisés en collection, travaillant chacune une inspiration, un thème ou style visuel particulier. Vous trouverez notamment de nombreuses collections dont les motifs sont inspirés de styles visuels ayant marqué l’histoire de l’art et du design : Art nouveau, art déco, modernisme, art optique ou art cinétique... De quoi revêtir un mur d’une véritable oeuvre graphique ou artistique, pour une décoration intérieure à la fois originale et très personnelle.</p>
<p><img alt="Le Presse Papier, papier peint design" src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/le-presse-papier-02.jpg" /></p>
<p>Je précise par souci d’honnêteté, que j’ai la chance de compter Le Presse Papier parmi mes clients. Cela n’enlève en rien (bien au contraire) à l’intérêt graphique et artistique que je porte à leurs créations !</p>

Sur les murs de Lisbonne
Tuesday, March 17 2015
<p><img alt="Lisbonne street art" src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/lisboa-01.jpg" width="500" /></p>
<p>Lisbonne est une ville magnifique ! Capitale du Portugal, pays bien connu pour ses fameux Azulejos (entre autres), ces carreaux aux motifs variés et colorés qui ornent les façades des bâtiments, des plus simples aux plus raffinés. J’ai eu la chance de visiter la ville dernièrement, et les murs sont en effet magnifiques, mais aussi grâce au street art ! Grande surprise pour ma part, je ne m’attendais pas du tout à ce genre d’art à Lisbonne. En fait, il s’avère que beaucoup de bâtiments de cette vieille cité sont en attente de restauration, la municipalité étant propriétaire de nombre d’entre eux. Pour valoriser ces façades détériorées, le conseil municipal a décidé de les proposer aux meilleurs artistes internationaux, leur permettant de s’exprimer sur des surfaces conséquentes, en plein coeur de la ville ! Une idée que je trouve géniale, qui prouve l’ouverture d’esprit des habitants et des pouvoirs publics. Ci-dessous je vous propose quelques clichés des oeuvres que j’ai pu croiser, mais sachez qu’il y en a beaucoup, vraiment beaucoup plus (plusieurs centaines je pense). En espérant vous avoir donné envie de visiter cette belle ville !</p> <p><img alt="Lisbonne street art" src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/lisboa-02.jpg" width="500" /><br />

Deep Frequency par Angélique Paultes

<img alt="Deep Frequency, short animation film by Angélique Paultes" class="media" src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/deep-frequency.jpg" title="" width="500" />
<p><b>Deep Frequency</b> is a short animation film directed by <b>Angélique Paultes</b>. More precisely it's her graduation work in the Lyon based school Emile Cohl. The music has an important place in the movie, it's almost a music video. classical 2D animation is mixed up with motion design sequences.</p> <p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" mozallowfullscreen="" src="//player.vimeo.com/video/99735275?badge=0" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="500"></iframe></p>
<p>Angélique Paultes has also directed a short musical stop motion video (with the same artist Panda Dub for the music). I found the idea very interesting, using steps as musical lines, it works very well.</p>

Lo Siento, barcelona design studio
Thursday, July 3 2014
<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/lo-siento-head.jpg" width="500" alt="Lo Siento, studio de design à Barcelone" />
<p>
I recently visited <strong>Barcelona</strong>, which is a very inspiring city for a designer. One evening I was looking for a typical tapas restaurant in the old streets of the city and I stumbled on the restaurant <strong>Bar Brutal</strong>, which has a great visual identity, with wide letterings painted on windows. Eventually I ate in another place but back at home I looked for the creator of this nice graphic design work and I discovered <strong>Lo Siento</strong>, a design studio full of character.
</p> <p>
Based in the city of Barcelona, Lo Siento is a small creative studio mostly working in the fields of<strong> visual identity, graphic design, edition and package design</strong>. They have a very special approach of design by<strong> working on physical creations (not only pictures)</strong>, with often minimalistic concepts. <strong>Handmade and expriment</strong> are a large part of their work, and beyond the creation, the concepts conceived are very original and surprising, giving to the studio<strong> a very personal style</strong>.

The Tale of Princess Kaguya
Tuesday, July 1 2014
<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/kaguya-hime.jpg" alt="Le conte de la princesse Kaguya - Isao Takahata" />
<p>
I recently saw <strong><em>The Tale of Princess Kaguya</em></strong>, last movie from <strong>Ghibli studio</strong>, directed by <strong>Isao Takahata</strong>. As a big fan of animation movies and Ghibli studio, it's always a great time to see their production in theatre. Based on an old japanese tale, the story has an interesting philosophical aspect but could be understood and appreciated by a large audience, like almost all the Ghibli's productions. By the way, we can find a kind of melancholia as in the last movie of Miyazaki, <strong><em>The Wind Rises</em></strong>.<br /><br />
<iframe width="500" height="282" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ctdEB6tTbL8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />
But more than the story, the graphic style of the movie is really amazing. Mixing up charcoal sketching and watercolor, the design is far away from the other Ghibli movies, even if we can find a derivation from the style of <strong><em>My Neighbors the Yamadas</em></strong>. The drawing is full of life and keeps a lot of spontaneity from the hand of the animator, giving a nice dynamics. This is balanced by the watercolor coloring, with different atmospheres according to the scenes. The whole animation is great, especially on the first scenes when the main character grows up in the moutain. Nature, birds, insects, trees... are simply very beautiful. And as usual with Ghibli, the children are full of energy and their moves and attitudes almost perfect.<br /><br />
A great movie, with strong graphic and scenaristic choices, where animation is at its best !

The sub-marine world of Courtney Mattison
Saturday, June 14 2014
<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/mattison-head.jpg" alt="art ocean et ceramique by Courtney Mattison" width="500" />
<p>
Trough her work, artist and activist <strong>Courtney Mattison</strong> shows the <strong>oceans beauty and diversity</strong>, with a special focus on seafloors. Her ceramic creations are directly inspired by sea life and we can find <strong>a lot of amazing details and textures</strong> in her pieces of art as well as in her decorative production. Her goal, through her creations, is to <i>"influence policy makers and the public to appreciate the fragile beauty of our endangered marine ecosystems"</i>. A very interesting approach, mixing up art and science with a fine subtlety, as a result of <strong>her interdisciplinary BA in sculpture and marine ecology</strong>.

Strange knitting masks by Tracy Widdess
Tuesday, June 10 2014
<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/widdess-head.jpg" width="500" alt="Knitting masks by artist Tracy Widdess" /><br /><br />
<p>
For some years, <strong>knitting is becoming trendy</strong>, and we can see it more and more used by artists (as well as some other textile techniques). Far away from scarves and bobble hats, artists consider knitting as a medium, in order to create real pieces of art, without any utility.<br />
<strong>Tracy Widdess</strong>, a <strong>Vancouver</strong> based artist, explores the knitting technique with a very personnal approach, by<strong> creating a series of masks</strong>. Inspired by science-fiction and old horror movies, these unidentified creatures are made<strong> with high precision, with a lot of details</strong>, giving them a curious credible look. With a bit of imagination, their show could even recall old ethnology photographs.

Stromae's visual identity by Bold
Thursday, June 5 2014
<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/stromae-head.jpg" alt="Charte graphique de Stromae par l'agence Bold" />
<p>
Here in France, (and I presume in some other countries too), <strong>Stromae</strong> is a very well known artist, having a large success these last years. One very special thing about him is <strong>his look, colourful and original</strong>. The artist has even launch his own apparel brand, inspired by his visual identity. And<strong> this identity is a great success in itself</strong>, with an amazing work of graphic design. The singer asked the belgian agency <strong>Bold</strong> to conceive it, and commonly they defined <strong>an isometric graphic system, inspired by Escher's famous impossible figures and african fabrics</strong>. Each song has its own pattern, based on a common grid. We can also notice <strong>the typographic work, with a special typeface derived from Century Gothic</strong>, in the same idea as the whole identity. And the icing on the cake : Stromae talks about his design agency in his interviews, something rare enough to be mentioned !</p> <p>

Diario de un viaje - Cartagena by Rafatoon
Friday, January 10 2014
<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/rafatoon.jpg" alt="" />
<p>
Rafatoon is a columbian motion designer based in Bogota. His work is really interesting, with a great attention to details, but I've been more especially touched by his last work.<br />
More precisely, it's a king of video travel book of a trip in Cartagena, a surprising mix of slow motion, typography integration and motion design effects. The result has a strong identity, and I wouldn't be surprised if you want to take some days off after watching it !

Tribute to Zao Wou-Ki
Wednesday, April 10 2013
<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/wou-ki-head-small.jpg" alt="Hommage au peintre franco-chinois Zao Wou-Ki" />
<p>
I just read into my news feeds that the painter Zao Wou-Ki passed away yesterday. I find his work very interesting, and so I wanted to show some pictures of his work, some of my readers surely don't know this great artist. Zao Wou-Ki was born in China, and has been initially trained to traditionnal chinese painting. After coming to France in 1948, he met important french artists like Henri Michaux, Paul Klee or André Malraux. Their influence helped the artist to create his own style, later called lyric abstraction. His paintings put the viewer in a very singular feeling, a kind of reverie.

Interview with Robert Proch, multidisciplinary artist
Thursday, March 7 2013
<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/robert-proch-head-small.jpg" alt="" />
<p>
It's been a long time I didn't wrote any interview on Ceegee.fr, but when I thought about introducing the work of <strong>Robert Proch</strong>, I wanted to ask him some questions. These last months, we saw some pictures of this multidisciplinary artist form Poland buzzing around the web, mostly <strong>his huge street art works</strong>. Often at the borders of abstraction, the artist plays with colours and shapes, giving his compositions a very original point of vue and graphic style, with a striking touch. <strong>Known for his murals and canvas, the artist also created short animation films which are really interesting</strong>, both for the direction and the graphic style.
</p> <h2>Could you shortly introduce yourself ? How did you came to produce your art ? </h2>
<p><i>
Introvertic type. Left handed. I'm diggin this work it since was 6 or 7. Found out that dropping observations on paper is the thing I just like to do more then any other. Never suspected that later it will 'eat me alive'.

<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/robert-proch03small.jpg" alt="" />
<h2>What are your inspirations ? </h2>
<p><i>
Little things. I prefer to put attention on events happening close. Often boring everyday stuff. Psychical states are also my little topic frames- kind of confession. Point is to be honest. I'm really curious where it will go in future years.

<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/robert-proch05small.jpg" alt="" />
<h2>You come from Poland, do you consider it influences your art ? How is the art scene in Poland today ?</h2>
<p><i>
Many things around is changing fast, internet made quite big mess. But nowdays we have world of such possibilities like never before. Regarding art scene in Poland- I'm not great follower of things happening. I have never been involved much. I just have few artist I really admire and it's totally enough. I know, it's ignorat.

<h2>You work on very varied media (canvas, walls, animation, etc). What are the relationships and differences between all these formats ? </h2>
<p><i>
I like to change size and background of my work. Way of thinking is actually the same. Variety of conditions brings fresh energy to each of media. It's also related to nature rythm- working on wall in warm months and getting back to studio for winter. Thank god we have March already :)

<h2>You realise amazing mural paintings. How do you play with the urban environment of the paintings ? What are the neighbours reactions ? </h2>
<p><i>
I treat this as kind of compromise. I always try to leave somthing that won't kill people around every day just to be as original as possible. But in the same way it cannot be easy kitch. Usually reactions are negative in the beginning cause I'm treated as intruder but on last day of work relations are opposite so far.

<b>Dina Velikovskaya</b> is still studying at the Russian State University of Cinematography, but after watching her last short film, <b>"My Strange Grandfather"</b>, we can easily think the director has several years of experience. Based on the stop motion puppets animation technique, the film is really beautiful, with amazing details allowing the artist to create a very unique atmosphere. Elements like the soundtrack, the wind illusion, or the post-production effects give the whole a great quality, with a nice story. A very talented student who surely will be a major animation artist in the next years.

<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/voeux2013-head.jpg" alt="" />
<p>
It's been a long time I didn't wrote any article on this blog, I'm sorry for my regular readers but I've been very busy during the last months, with not a lot of time for Ceegee. I will try to take more time for it, but at first, I wanted to wish you a great year 2013.
</p> <p>
2012 has been for me a very special year, I left my last webdesigner job to create my own communication and graphic design company, Les Pixels Associés. A just starting adventure, which already allowed me to work on very interesting and varied projects, for passionate clients. I also started a new job as a teacher in a design school, Aries Lyon (Visual communication Bachelor section). A great experience, passionnate and talentful students, and the opportunity to transmit technical and graphical competences, but also my own vision of the job.<br /><br />
After this little personnal summary, I share with you some picture of the 2013 greeting card of Les Pixels Associés, wishing you happiness and success for this new year 2013 !

<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/settlements-head.jpg" alt="Une vision de la ville par l'artiste numérique Vigilism" />
<p>
<b>Vigilism</b> aka <b> Lekan Jeyifo</b> is a digital artist born in Nigeria and based in <b>Brooklyn, New York</b>. In his illustrations series untitled <b><i>Settlements and City Strategies</i></b>, he shares his own vision of urban atmospheres. His pictures mix up fragmented compositions, playing with geometric shapes in a 3D architecture rendering way, and vintage colours and textures, warming up the images.<br />
In the second part of the series, the artist plays with semi-realistic maps, with weird informations of networks, directions, key points...

Récession Terminale, sand animation film
Friday, October 12 2012
<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/recession-terminale.jpg" alt="" />
<p>
<b>David Myriam</b> is a pluri-disciplinary artist who specializes in sand animation. He uses this technique for animation films, but also works live during events all over the world.<br />
<b><i>Récession Terminale</i></b>, (meaning in french something like "final recession"), is his last work, produced by <b>Citron Bien</b> (which produces very interesting animation films, like <a href="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/index.php?post/paphu-animation-pixel-art" target="_blank">Paphù vs idols</a>).
</p> <p>
This short film is a very experimental work, playing on emotions. It describes a mutation, a transformation, in a dark and frightening style. I think that the main notion of the film turns around identity and consciousness. The editing and the sound track give the film a nice rythm and dynamic, which is often a problem in linear and slow sand animation films.<br />
The film is currently broadcasted by european channel Arte, via the online platform Arte Creative.<br />

Webdesigns by Vanessa Pepin
Tuesday, September 25 2012
<img src="http://www.ceegee.fr/blog/public/vanessa-pepin-head.jpg" alt="webdesign par Vanessa Pepin" />
<p>
<b>Vanessa Pepin</b> is an art director and webdesigner working for the Quebec agency <b>Deuxhuithuit</b>. I discovered her works on <b>Behance</b> and her interactive design works are very impressive. They combine legibility, typographic precision and graphic identity with a clever use of recent HTML/CSS technologies.<br />
An interesting example is her work for <a href="http://leclou.qc.ca" target="_blank">Le Clou</a> theatre, which is outstanding on several point of vues : a very legible and user friendly layout, a nice use of responsive design techniques, and an interesting organization of content, especially on spectacles pages.
