forms from NATURE
~ works of Richard Sweeney
Fractal Form I
Icosahedron II
Richard Sweeney's works (origami style) through his hands-on material manipulation, undergoing an exploration process to find new ways of interpreting to the material to create forms that are truly sympathetic to the intrinsic properties of the material. Elements of repetition is portrayed through his works to create that balance in his compositions. The way the principals of nature are applied - to create forms that appear amazingly complex, yet are based on very basic units and patterns of growth. Also achieving the most from the least, from the way they are constructed, to the appearance of the final form - truly inspiring! His photography skills are also sleek and refined, a true professional.
Pentagon Pod
Dodecahedron II
design inspired by FORMS of LIFE
Seed Pod
Holland Paper Biennial 2006
From what i have learnt so far is that mother nature is true beauty because the proportion of forms seen are nearly flawless. Nature has given so much attribution to art and design and help many artists to prosper and mature. It is totally awe-inspiring. Mother Nature is THE BEST teacher!

Motion Graphics: Individuals ~ Saiman Chow
Review
His works have a unique style often using vibrant colors for print, motion and exhibition. Most of his motion clips uses stop motion to create the visual effects. His works seems to be more dependent on hands on approach thus his emotions flow through and his own individuality.
Visual Contrast
This graphic design work entitled Sexy Bubble - Aero is really a much different style from his other works. He seems to portray more of the sensual feel with the play of colors and execution of different angles. He is very sensitive with color usage and it shows through the illustration, every color pigment is chosen very wisely and the sensual feel is mostly depicted through them. The ambient color and accent color chosen suits the work very well.
Textural elements are also present to show depth and dimension which is crucial because it gives a perspective in the visuals in order for viewers like us to enjoy and appreciate it! The layers are created with different opacity levels and filtering to create ambiance. There is also areas of highlights for more focus on the human figure. This motion graphics designer has done a great job in creating visually exciting works of art and he is one true artist who is pays lots of attention to the details!
