P1 Elle Muliarchyk artist analysis


Elle Muliarchyk is an artist. But she’s also a model. She grew up in Vietnam and the Czech Republic, spent her high school years as a foreign exchange student in suburban NorCal, majored in theology and science at UC Berkeley, and was introduced to the fashion world through a chance encounter with Patrick Demarchelier( a French fashion photographer. "The gif as a medium itself is unique," "It’s technically limiting because of the continuous loop, so a lot of decisions are based on the edit. "Her latest project focuses on the transformative power of beauty and fashion "I strive to show fashion and beauty in brand new, innovative ways," says Muliarchyk  "A narrative, sense of humor, and peek behind-the-curtain are key components to my work." Recently, Muliarchyk  teamed up with art director Vita Raykhman, Yahoo Style, and a few different hair and makeup crews to create quick-change transformations with model’s  represented by The Society Management. Muliarchyk  came up with concepts by studying every model’s personal Instagram account—she wanted to tailor the theme of each gif to a particular girl based not only on looks, but also personality.

P1 Artist analysis Blu

Blu is an Italian street artist that currently lives in Bologna, Italy. He started painting in a capital of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna Region and has been involved in the street art scene since 1999.His works can be seen through the world and his style is easily recognizable. They are known to be “epic scale murals.” Blu prefers to paint his works around the urban and industrial landscape.
Like most street artists, Blu began painting graffiti with spray paint. He quickly gained recognition and fame by painting a graffiti series in the suburbs of Bologna. Over the next few years into the early 2000s, Blu’s graffiti style transformed thanks to his growing use of house paint. He began to experiment with paint rollers and telescopic sticks. Not only was his graffiti art much larger, but his art conveyed a much more dramatic appearance. He quickly began to create huge human figures that resembled comic and video game art.
Strongly influencing Blu’s early career were team efforts with other street artists like Dem, Sweza, Run, and Ericailcane. They lead to Blu’s experimentation with digital animation. He participated in many artistic endeavours with Ericailcane from 2003- 2006 which also helped him gain large recognition.
The street art mural that he made in this location was very significant because wide audiences across the Internet were able to view it. The mural was quickly named “Hombre Banano”, since it pertained to the protests of workers in the banana plantations.
Over the next couple of years, Blu spent his life traveling and painting across Central and South America, where he visited countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Argentina, and Brazil. Blu’s most famous artwork culminates in a silent graphic animation composed of hundreds of paintings on walls that apply to a seven minute animated mural.
