DR. MARTENS YEAR OF THE TIGER 1460 & 1461 BOOTS

Posted on 2021-12-27

With Lunar New Year celebrations just around the corner, Dr. Martens has given its classic 1460 and 1461 boots a distinct “Year of the Tiger” makeover.

The boots are seen in black leather uppers with black and gold cloud imprints and laser-etched tiger graphics offering a three-dimensional scene with hidden details. The inner leather lining for both silhouettes arrive in bright red, and eyelets come in gold with tiger tooth eye stays. Yellow welt stitching lines the midsoles, and high-tops feature red DMS bottoms while low-tops come in black.

IMOGEN CUNNINGHAM – A RETROSPECTIVE

Posted on 2021-12-27

Imogen Cunningham: A Retrospective showcases the endless innovation and profound influence of this remarkable photographer who pushed the boundaries for both women in the arts and photography as an art form. Nearly 200 of Cunningham’s insightful portraits, elegant flower and plant studies, poignant street pictures, and groundbreaking nudes present a singular vision developed over seven decades of work. The first major retrospective in the United States of Cunningham’s work in 35 years, the exhibition examines on the artist’s Seattle upbringing and includes works by female artists such as Ruth Asawa and Martha Graham who Cunningham championed, as well as works by Group f/64 which she helped found with Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and others. Cunningham’s spark of creative possibility asserted photography as a distinct and valuable art form in the 20th century.

CHUNG EUN-MO

Posted on 2021-12-27

The work of Chung Eun-Mo (*Seoul 1946) is based on profound knowledge of Modernism, especially the work of the early abstractionists. Like Malevich and Albers, she is fascinated by mathematical and chromatic harmonies and the mutable effects of light on them. Born in Seoul, in the mid-1960s she moved to New York, where in 1980 she obtained a Master of Fine Arts degree at the Pratt Institute, after which she went on to perfect her geometric painting style. Towards the end of the 1980s she chose to live in Italy, first in Rome, then Torre Orsina in Umbria; since 2019 she lives in Milan.

The bond of Chung Eun-Mo with Italy is strong and long-lasting, her art reflects aspects of Italian art history, but also the atmosphere of its ancient civilization, architecture and landscape. Many of her works are abstract and poetic recreations of places she has seen and experienced, sequences or conglomerates of shapes and colors with a strong evocative power.

NEW BALANCE × ATMOS MS327ART

Posted on 2021-12-27

For just over two decades, atmos has a penchant for manufacturing sneaker collaborations that are often suited up with animal-inspired prints or various type of camouflage graphics. And to close out January 2022 with a bang, the Japanese imprint is teaming up with New Balance to create a bold, “Realtree” colorway of the 327.

Leading its visual composition are hunter-friendly Realtree camouflage graphics that are printed across the base of the shoes. Complements are situated atop the oversized nubuck N logos which are devised with all-black exteriors while the heel tabs and overlays nearest the throat and toe boxes are doused with a bright orange hue.
