This month fans of The OA donated $180 to Wires Wildlife Rescue thanks to The OA Stickers for Charity Patreon & artist Eda Durust who graciously donated the use of her artwork. Mailings are going out today!

Eda Durust

¿Quien es Eda Dururst? Detrás de la mujer que revolvió logomanía hasta convertir un caos pop los íconos más emblemáticos del consumo, hay una artista. Eda nació en Estambul en 1991. En el Central Saint Martins de Londres estudió diseño gráfico. Cuando volvió a Estambul incursionó en la fotografía, el video, la ilustración, el collage y la animación. Esta obra se llama "Manipulación" y se centra en ver la comida o los objetos desde un punto de vista distinto, simulando ser otros. Cada material o sustancia tiene un parecido, pueden ser similares, parecerse mucho: pero no comunican la misma idea. "En esta serie quiero comunicar de forma irónica como podrían verse si estuvieran unidos. O como sólo una etiqueta puede cambiar la percepción sobre la propia pieza."

Eda Dürüst

When searching on instagram for further explanation and inspiration relative to my topics, i came across a turkish artist called Eda Durust. Although there is not much information about her on the internet, i have realised that she was a illustrator, and had some quirky illustrations that were really cool, and my opinion rather surrealistic. But I also searched into her photography, where i found some of her still life work which was very relative my concept. The whole tongue and cheek concept of juxtaposition within objects and labels is a route i want to explore. I love how she has combined designer logos and objects to look fitting but expose another layer. Appearing contrasting and fitting the concept is funny and has the ability to be perceived in many ways. I read it as a humourous response to the high society associated with designer labels. Something i want to mirror in my work.
