Once again Nike Sportswear got together with the good people from DIY (aka Plus 41) to create a special installation for the Nike Destroyer Campaign. The installation consists of wood, the product, as well as an iPad with a video feature. In the video you can see members of the Fayabash crew, a group of young DJs and producers who organize the widely known Electrosanne Festival. The installation is made entirely out of baseball bats and can be viewed exclusively in two stores in Switzerland, Cellophane (Lausanne) and Grand (Zurich).

Sergey Ryzhov creates his moody and atmospheric paintings digitally using Photoshop CS4, only occasionally making sketches and studies in pencil. At first glance I assumed his work was hand painted, and love the effects he can get using digital means alone. They say each picture tells a story, and my mind boggles at what the stories behind these strange images could be.

Artist Statement
In a culture in which people are easily lured by the appeal of status-enhancing symbols, I find beauty in derelict cars and unkempt landscapes. I have always been interested in painting vehicles and scenes that have defined the evolution of the American landscape.

I commemorate commercial vehicles inundated with graffiti and rust, working vehicles, and well-traveled recreational vehicles. I find that there is so much character in old delivery trucks and vans — especially when covered with graffiti — and in the old RVs parked off a main road. Removing them from their everyday context gives them portrait-like importance. I paint with devoted attention to every imperfection and sign of age.
