Raphael la coste


Raphael Lacoste lived in Canada, with his family since 2002. He was born in 1974 in Paris, but lived mostly around Bordeaux, south west of France until he left for Canada. He studied in 1993 at Fine Arts school, Art and Media option, Photography and video, at the same time, he was photographer and composer for a theatre company "les Pygmalions".

              Raphael Lacoste has been an Art director on Videogames and Cinematic for more than 7 years. Raphael explains why he came to 3D “I was always looking outside the windows when I was at school… I was a boy in the moon (I’m still :) I drew a lot during the courses… finally I went to the Fine art school of Bordeaux where I studied photo and video in the “art and Media” option. “This is shown on this site http://www.raph.com/3dartists/interviews/i-i277.html .

 

 

Raphael la coste explains where he got his idea from for his picture on the Left; he explains “I did this picture after the lift originally designed by Jujol, an early 20th century Architect, friend of Gaudi. This is also shown on the same site above.


Raphael also explains his other Art work, he expresses that he wants his Art work to catch moods and moments during others play the game. He wants them to enjoy the game as much as he enjoyed making it. This is shown on this other site I found. http://www.itsartmag.com/features/interview-with-raphael-lacoste/


Yoni Alter Review

Yoni Alter work is very interesting he shows us his point of view of the way he sees cities; he uses multi colours on all of his work. I think that’s his own way to show what kind of person he is and what his personality is like; his work is also very eye catching this will grab people’s attention whilst travelling or anywhere else. Yoni uses very obvious noticeable buildings this is interesting because people can see that his work is different.

 

As you can see this picture on the left, he used very bright colours and had used the outlines of the buildings he hasn’t really gone in depth with the buildings structure, this is a nice way of putting his work it’s sort of a clear way to see that the buildings represent each individual city. Yoni Alter expresses his ideas and how, why he came up with these ideas on this following site; http://www.printmag.com/color/famous-skylines-interpreted-with-art/

 

Yoni Alter draws skylines and they’re very easy to recognise it’s a visual thing anyone could look at he has his own way looking at buildings. In each of his images you can see the overlapping of each buildings making it abstract, he has made it abstract because the outline of each building is shown and that’s how you can see he has used an over lapping skill and with using different colours of each building makes the picture as a whole stand out.


 

 Yoni Alter speaks about his work and the prints he has made, he had become inspired with the centre point of Hyde park where you can see the London eye and The shard, he claimed that the “geometry was very interesting and I thought it would be fun to play around with it” Yoni Alter has expressed this on the Creative review website http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2014/april/yoni-alter.
