Caux Collective Introduces: Threebit
Whilst it is Fine Art that occupies the majority of the posts here on Caux Collective, this fantastic branding design was more than enough to buck the trend. Recently designed for an IT-based solutions company, named Threebit, Slovenian Art Director & Graphic Designer Denis Lelic is the man responsible this gorgeous branding design, which is, in my opinion, one of the best examples of an identity having incorporated practicality and aesthetic style, that I have ever seen. The superb, simple colour scheme and highly angular, pictorial style, which is continued throughout each aspect of the identity, makes for a stunning brand that isn’t easily forgotten.
If you would like to see more of Denis Lelic’s professional work, including varied graphic projects and corporate identity redesigns, take a look at his Behance profile, as linked at the beginning of this post.
Caux Collective Introduces: Ricardo Fumanal
Using relatively fundamental techniques to expand upon a style based around a visibly muted use of colour, these beautiful illustrations come straight from the portfolio of Spanish Fine Artist, Ricardo Fumanal. Often equipped with only a marker, pencil and ink, to use on paper, Fumanal calls upon his interests in a range of disciplines from “fine arts to fashion and advertising photography” and “a broad array of techniques and languages” to create his own stunning style of illustration.

Caux Collective Redirects: Gravitistic
South Korean Designer Jaemin Jaeminlee recently examined the way in which we humans tell the time. Be it digital or analogue, by using clocks, watches and countless other time-pieces, we are constantly aware of exactly what minute is passing, any hour of the day. However, Jaeminlee recognised an unfortunate truth in this informative process. We no longer realise the invaluable significance of each passing moment, instead we simply care what time it is, in order to go about our daily routines.

Caux Collective Introduces: Replaceface
Known simply by the pseudonymous name Replaceface, this semi-anonymous collage artist takes images of famous celebrities and known figures, from the modern world, and transports them back into by-gone eras in the form of military style portraits. Replaceface gives little in terms of the mechanics or origins of the pieces, although we are told that each piece is a Photoshop-based manipulation of a vast set of digital portraits, originally painted by George Dawe, who, we are reliably informed by Replaceface, ”was an English portrait artist [responsible for painting] 329 portraits of Russian generals active during Napoleon’s invasion of Russia for the Military Gallery of the Winter Palace, Saint Petersburg, Russia.”
If you would like to see more of Replaceface’s fantastic collage-lead portraiture, head over to his website, linked at the beginning of this post. There you will find many more stunning pieces, as well as a process in which you request to have your own face ‘replaced’ by the artist themself.
Caux Collective Introduces: Rishab Soni
Here we have a small selection of images from a 15-piece project named ‘The Known, Unknown’ coming directly from the portfolio of New Zealand-based Graphic Designer & Illustrator, Rishab Soni. These beautiful illustrations are described by Soni as being inspired by “the uncertainty of life and future” and the visible collation of overlapping lines and their illustrative origins create a conceptual representation of this interconnection between the events we live every day and those we are bound to experience in the coming weeks, months or years.
If you’d like to see more of Rishab Soni’s fascinating illustrations, you can head straight over to his website or his Behance profile, both of which have been linked in the beginning of this post.
Caux Collective Introduces: Justine Blau
In these images, taken from two videos named ‘Crowd I’ and ‘Crowd II’ made back in 2007, we see the minimalist work of French Visual Artist, Justine Blau. These videos are described as being “composed of a series of virtual collages depicting human crowds [in which] the photographed silhouettes are removed from their true social context to form fictive gatherings.“ The near excessive use of negative space accentuates the shapes and patterns created by the positioning of these forms and the sound of walking alludes to the idea and internal feeling of movement, despite it being played to accompany entirely static images.
If you would like to see more work from Justine Blau, including a wonderful portfolio of sculptures and various other multimedia artworks, head over to her website as linked at the beginning of this post.
Caux Collective Introduces: Guy Whitby
In his brand new project named ‘Analog to Digital’ we see Australian Multidisciplinary Artist, Guy Whitby, at his finest. Often working under the pseudonym of WBK (which stands for WorksByKnight) we see Whitby’s artistic hand turned to the creation of a series of spectacular, pixelated portraits of famous people. Having professed a belief that “an artist should hold a mirror up to the world around him or her and comment upon the reflection” Whitby collages vast numbers of keyboard keys, along with various other materials, to form the faces of some immediately recognisable people.
If you’d like to see more from this series, head over to the Behance profile, as linked at the beginning of this post, or head over to Guy Whitby’s Facebook page where you can find many more projects and updates.
Caux Collective Introduces: Andy Denzler
The sight of an oddly distorted VHS image is a vastly nostalgic one, with the VHS remaining as little more than a distant-memory for many of us. However, it’s disuse doesn’t stop its sometimes glitchy appearance directly inspiring the art of Zurich-based Fine Artist, Andy Denzler. By halting the fast-forwarding and rewinding of VHS footage, Denzler seeks to replicate this type of image. He uses these disfigured film stills as inspiration for the beautiful, vintage, hyperrealistic oil paintings he has become known for. Whilst the images allow their forms to be dictated by the unpredictability of the process, their conviction remains ultimately practiced.
If you’d like to see more of Andy Denzler’s fantastic artwork, you can find his complete portfolio on his website, as linked at the beginning of this post.
Caux Collective Redirects: Tiptop Speakers
Three students from Stanford University recently began a Kickstarter campaign in order to fund their reinvention of the bluetooth speaker. The Tiptop Speaker connects to your bluetooth devices wirelessly, just like many other products. However, it is the sleek design configuration, effortless set-up and unique integration of an indoor environment, that makes this speaker stand out.

Caux Collective Introduces: ATOMIC3
Situated in downtown Montreal, a gorgeous temporary installation consisting of four skeletal metal arches, equipped with illuminating light and atmospheric sounds, make up a fantastic piece of informative, interactive art named ‘Iceberg’ made by creative art duo, ATOMIC3.
Referred to, in its simplest sense, as a “playful, immersive work” this piece uses lights, sounds and a whole lot of visitor participation to tell the story of an iceberg’s journey. Motion sensors detect movements inside of the piece’s architectural mainframe, triggering timely changes in the lights and sounds, with each of the fours part of the installation echoing a different part of the iceberg’s inanimate life-cycle.
If you would like to see more of this beautiful piece, head over to the ATOMIC3 website, as linked above, where you can find plenty more images and analysis, or click here to watch the video on Vimeo, where you can see exactly how this installation works.
Caux Collective Redirects: The ‘Empty Memories’ USB Collection
With the intriguing, self-proposed question “what would happen if technology became invisible?” to inspire a new, artistic direction of working, Designers Yoo-Kyung Shin & Hanhsi Chen found the answer in an ingenious fusion of fashionable jewellery and computer technology.

Caux Collective Introduces: United Visual Artists
In their extraordinary, 10-day installation piece named ‘Speed of Light’ from 2010, the prolific London-based Art & Design Practice know as United Visual Artists present a fantastic light-orientated piece, which won them the 2011 Creative Review Annual Award, having created this set-up in a four-storey bargehouse on the Thames riverside.
On the UVA website, the group speak of this piece, saying that “visitors were invited to immerse themselves in a massive labyrinth of laser sculptures, built on the idea of speed being light, and light being data.” If you’d like to see more from this piece, or of UVA’s many other fantastic installation pieces, head over to their website, as linked at the beginning of this post.
Caux Collective Introduces: Humans Since 1982
In what is undoubtedly my favourite piece of interactive artwork this year, this installation named ‘A Million Times’ comes from Stockholm-based Design Studio, Humans Since 1982 who debuted their monochrome masterpiece at the Design Days Dubai Fair earlier this year.
Consisting of 288 analogue clocks, this formation is ingeniously operated to provide not only fluid, mesmerising patterns using the waves created by the hands, but also minute-by-minute time updates, displayed in the style of a digital clock. If you would like to see more of this project, head over to the website or take a look on Vimeo to see this stunning piece in action.
Caux Collective Redirects: Biostamp Health Monitors
What are currently being described as “epidermal electronics” (or ‘technology for the skin’ to you and I) a brand new method of health monitoring has been invented, potentially eradicating the need for large, wired machinery in hospitals. American Materials Scientist, John Rogers and his electronics company, MC10 have created a ‘Biostamp’ which is implemented in the form of a temporary tattoo.

Caux Collective Introduces: Soasig Chamaillard
In a fantastic on-going project, which began prior to the start of the new decade, French Artist, Soasig Chamaillard focusses her artistic process on parodying the image of the Virgin Mary, transforming the recognisable stance and appearance into brand new, often controversial pieces, taking inspiration from her surroundings, including some nods to pop culture. Chamaillard says, “The playful interaction of society’s many icons, physical transformations, and the resulting improbable combinations, have culminated in my vision of a woman’s role and place in our society.”
