Some time has gone by since I first thought about featuring
Atomic Skyways work on this blog. Still, for one reason or another, it's just never happened. Even so, my appreciation for has not waned. From
Atomic Skyways, aka Cris', first piece he placed on
facebook, I have been a big fan. While, I see a continued progression in his work, every piece has had a 100% professionally finished and refined look from day one.
My first experience with
Cris's/AtomicSkyways work was the day he posted the above photo on
Facebook. This was back in 2011.
Mid-century Sci-fi*
shapes, gold flake paint, and a green pearl. How was I to pass by this one without just being amazed. His choices in shapes and in color are more than by chance. These are combinations, that come from a sophisticated designer. One that understands the limits, visual weights, and composition of good
Mid-century abstract*
design.
Thru out my time of watching
Atomic Skyways, we've not really had much communication. I hope one day to be able to speak a bit more with him about his processes of design and inspirations. For the time being though, I'm just amazed at his ability.
Atomic Skyways has as much the ability to build a formidable
mcm inspired sculpture*
, as easily as create 3d sculpture paintings. That's pretty impressive!
Atomic Skyways works are more than just copies of shapes, themes, and colors of the
mid-century modern designs*
left behind. He has taken all the art and design he's ever been exposed to, and boiled it down to the original principals. From this, he has created current day
mid-century modern art*
. So precise is his design aesthetic, that when applied to his popular
Atomic Skyways ad's with photoshop, they almost look as if they belong in the mid-century period of the photo. I'd go so far as to guess, someone new to mid-century design has found his ad's and thought they were designers works from the real
mid-century modern*
period.
Looking thru
Atomic Skyways facebook and
blog will help you see why his art is so incredible. After all, he has worked a good bit with one of the most prominent
Mid-century design studios*
ever. Who, you may ask?
Disney*
! Let's face it. Whether you like
Disney* parks or not, if you're into
mid-century art*
, you've got to dig you some
Disney art and design*
. On his
blog you'll see a number of pics of these incredible sculptured park accents and floats that he's worked on. Knowing how to use all those techniques can only help his works to become even more impressive.
While looking at
Atomic Skyways works, I could point out a ton of interesting and attractive aspects of his pieces. One that really draws my attention though, is that every piece is a sculpture. Mattering not whether
Cris is putting together a stand alone sculpture for the end table, or a piece of wall art, they're going to be equally sculpted. To me that's pretty swing'n. So, if you've got your interest peeked, step over to his
facebook and
blog. Maybe, just maybe, he'll produce even more pieces if he gets more hits. That's my hope at least!
