Sometimes I forget about an artist for a while. So when I rediscovered the Namaiki book in my libary I googeled them to see what they’re up to these days.
What a pleasant surprise!
Namaiki which means naughty or rebel in Japanese is actually graphic designer David Duval Smith and architect Michael Frank. They’ve been doing insanely colourful objects and installations, mad graphics and psychedelic videos since the mid-’90s.
And now they added another level to their fun and light-hearted installations by switching literally to more natural grounds.
Want to know more about their inspiring thoughts as to why ending up working with living things is just the most interesting thing to do…, here is a great interview with the Namaiki Designers published in PingMag.
