Recently, I was interviewed by Khaleejesque Magazine’s B. N. Bassam about my approach to art, arabic inspirations and more.

Ricardas Blazukas – The Man Behind The Artist.

Khaleejesque Magazine, The Industrial Issue #18, November – December 2015.

The spread is attached below.

This is a collection of handmade minimalistic sculptural tiles with pyramids shifting out of the vanishing point creating a deceptive impression. The concept of the tiles is based on geometrical composition of squares, inspiration being Baroque architecture.

The ‘pink pyramid tile’ has recently been selected by Saatchi Art currator Bridget Carron to feature in a ‘Radical Geometry’ collection.

The sculptures are made of high quality plaster, coated in primer and acrylic paint. The frames are bespoke made to hold the sculptures.
The collection is limited to 60 sculptures.

The size of the sculpture itself is 39cm x 39cm x 4.5cm, whilst the framed size is 50cm x 50cm x 5cm.

These sculptures are available for sale. You can get in touch via contact form below if interested.

It has been an amazing year for Design Studio 15 and it finished off with a brilliant exhibition!

I feel very honoured and overly thankful to my tutors Kester Rattenbury and Sean Griffiths and all coursemates for supporting the idea to make an installation with my pyramid tiles for the show. Thanks for Mat Crawford for helping me throughout the making process.

If you haven’t been yet, the exhibition is open until 5th July. 

35 Marylebone Road, Baker Street Station, London.

I am currently working on an installation for the End of Year Show at University of Wesminster Design Studio 15. 

My coursemate Mat Crawford is helping me to make 60+ of my pyramid tiles tiles to create an installation for the exhibition. It has proved to be very challenging, but looks promising.

Make sure you come and see it live on the opening night of The Architecture Summer Show at Westminster University Marylebone Campus on 13th June Thursday 6-9pm.

I am not going to put my name on Rothko, but I will put a Rothko on my work… and so I did on my project drawings for Dalston Art & Dance Youth Centre in 2011…

And so i am doing this year suggesting that my spiky pyramid tiles would be a perfect surface for a Rothko exhibition… Dont think they would keep paintings safe from guys like Vladimir Umanets, but at least if Vlad stepped on my teracotta tile, he would have to pay for its damage too!

Both, the terracota tile and the black iron powder/plaster tile, have derived from a 2d geometry composition exercise.
