in his latest series of illustrations, federico babina has united the fields of architecture and fine art to create ‘ARTISTECT’ — a collection of 25 images which parallel famous painters and celebrated structures. chosen for their overlapping of styles and creative approaches, the mash-ups allow famed buildings by shigeru ban, zaha hadid and SANAA to assume metaphysical, cubist, dadaist and surrealist compositions. ‘these images are a metaphor for an imagined and imaginary dialogue between creative minds‘ babina describes ‘le corbusier talks with picasso and kandinsky discusses with wright.’

at first glance, the audience is able to quickly recognize the artist — joan miró’s organic forms and sol lewitt’s geometric ‘wall drawing #564’ are instantly recognizable. it is only after focusing on the details that the viewer can understand the architectural content hidden within.

When the great cultural triage of decentralization arrives in a few years vacant ‘me to creations’ like this won’t make the cut. Much of todays art work is simply a leveraging of pop cultural crap. Jeff Koons’ balloon dog is a good example.
