Please have fun looking at their costumes, backgrounds, and every scenes that Ken Nikai created. This is very creative and awesome music video!
Five Artists
Hannah Hoch This Hannah Hoch’s artwork is called Da-Dandy. This is a photomontage that she created by putting pieces of pictures of women in the center together and cut it out into a man’s face outline. The women are wearing 70’s style clothing, shoes and beautiful jewelry. Hoch states that black and white photos was a form of “Dadaism”. The colors blue, yellow, and red are also in the photo helps to create a feeling of nonsense which is common in Dadaism. However, I felt a calming warmth when I saw this artwork because of the women's gentle facial expressions. An artist named Raoul Hausmann is the person who influenced Hoch to join the Berlin Dada Movement.
Rene Magritte
Rene Magritte
done this painting, The Country of
Marvels. On the middle of the artwork, bouquet of flower is placed. Inside
of the bouquet of flower, he painted the midnight of outside flowery landscape
with pure crescent moon. It shows how calmness by he used the light-gray-blue
color. This scene is referencing the flower is not only to be picked up as one.
Flowers are growing freely in a field of green. A bird’s nest with three eggs
rests next to the bouquet. Magritte was influenced by Cubism and Futurism
Maggie Taylor
This artwork called
The Burden of Dreams which is created
by Maggie Taylor who is an artist, illustrator. She takes photo or scanned
the real objects and transferred Photoshop to collage the piece of photo together.
In this artwork, she puts a lot of pieces of animals and objects together on
the back of the woman’s head. The base of color of this art is blue, green, and
yellow. The mood is showing the calmness but it has really strong feeling. I
like how she puts cloud or smoke between the animals and objects because it seems
like its her memories or imagination are popping out from her mind.
Lou Beach
I love this artwork by Lou Beach who is an illustrator.
Mostly his artwork is collage, and this is the one of his work. Plus, he
finalize with Photoshop. I feel this artwork is expressing the nature of
beauty. On the middle of human thing with bird house head is wearing the suit
that decorated with plants and flowers. On the above of the artwork, there are
lot of kind of birds are playing around. On the bottom, there are lots of
butterflies and dragonflies are flying around above the flower and plants. I
love how he used the colors. It has perfect balance between front and background.
Ernie
Kovacks influenced Lou.
Dave Mckean
This artwork is done by Dave Mckean. When I look at this first, I feel
really thrill, strange, mysterious and scare. In this image, I can see looks
like wolf’s shadow with human’s face is masked on it. He is using photoshop for
this collage artwork. The mood of color which are black make scary look. Also, the texture that is overlaying this
artwork making it looks more strange. Max Ernst’s painting influenced Mckean.
Painter Leonid Afremov
Leonid Afremov
Leonid Afremov is my one of favorite painters. I respect him
because of his dynami use of colors, but has a calming touch. I love his art
because I can feel the warmness from all of his artwork. I also respect him
because he uses a palette-knife which he mastered using for 10 years instead of
using regular brushes. Since 1995, he has made about 4000 paintings which are
usually landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, and portraits of musician.
Afremov was born in Belarus in 1955. He started painting
when he was seven years old. Later on, he took painting class in high school.
Even though he was trained more to be a teacher than an artist during his college
years, he built up his painting skills with oil and participated in various
exhibitions since 1977. After he moved to Israel in 1990 for a advertising
painting job, his paintings became brighter, lighter, and joyous.

Graphic Designer Si SCOTT
Si SCOTT
Si Scott is a great graphic designer from the
UK. He studied graphic design at Leeds College
of Art and Design before going on to Buckinghamshire Chilterns University
College. After graduating, he founded his studio in 2006. He has great shape
designs with simple circulation of lines and bubbles. His works are done by
hand, and his projects range from ads, CD covers, products, interior designs,
tattoos, and brandings. He worked for Nike, Orange, UNICEF, and the BBC. It
seems that one would need patience to do his work because his art has a lot of
details and various line sizes.
I love his creative art works. His art is attractive
because even though his illustrations have simple lines and colors, it has
strong effect and very dramatic motion that almost makes it feel that it will
come to life.
