CLASSICS | Astronauts

CLASSICS

This series celebrates the notorious trends living in 3D art past few years, which over time became almost its own art discipline, mass psychosis, and high addiction for many artists. We love them or hate them, but they are everywhere and here to stay as icons, totems, and history. I chose to visualize it through traditional embroidery craftsmanship to induce almost the folklore meaning it gained in the 3D world. The cross-stitch technique resembles pixels, which in my opinion is an excellent common language of old-time physical and modern digital craft.

Astronauts

The first piece is no other than Astronauts. This is probably the most overboiled 3D theme of all time which slowly transferred its art value into an icon or meme status. An astronaut was the coolest hero on the internet in his golden age of Raoul Marks Semi-permanent opener, who set the trend for many others happily cruising through varieties of colorful lands. However, in 2021 it's hard to still take them relevant and original, but they proudly find their place in the memorial of the Classics series.
