Design Stack: A Blog about Art, Design and Architecture: Urban Acrylic Painting and Interior Sketching

Urban acrylic paintings and interior sketching with ink drawings.

The German artist that goes by the name of Keiross created all of the art you see on this page.

I love the contrast between the black and white drawings and the colour paintings.

The first section seems to be a more of an in situ creation. The artist includes himself as he draws what is around him at the time he is observing it. A coffee shops, the interior of a train, one of a tube car and the artist's living room? We get to see these location from Keiross's point of view. We are there experiencing the sights with him.

The second represents a section mainly structures. A stadium, a photo booth, a convenience shop, a street view and a train station. In a way, even though we don't see parts of his body, these are also all points of view of the artist.

I don't usually say this, but the colour paintings have the edge over the black and white drawings.

At the top of the paintings, for me, is the one of the stadium.. The structure overhangs the river. The staircase seems to float just above it. Most of all, the reflections and detailing in the water.

The next one is the panoramic view of the underground car. It seems to bend round the seat in front, to show the ends of the car.

Next is what the artist refers to as his neighbourhood. Everything is meticulously detailed, including the graffiti. We see life all around. Trees and bushes in the forefront, whilst people are standing in the background. They are the only signs of moving life. That said, the stars are the shops, the car and all of the things humans have constructed.

This post allows us to see the fantastic link between art and architecture. It's expressed in different mediums and styles, for you to sample.

Have a great time with today's post and your brand new week.
