When life gives you lemons, you turn to innovative solutions for your home, work, and especially, play! Mania Mix caters to the individual who is fearless and seeks inspiration from a high-energy space that is clean and colorful work in balance with the drone of the city below. Windows allow light bounce off white counter tops and tables. Fun couches allow for both play and relaxation in bold shapes that command attention.

There are few places of the globe you haven’t visited. Your home has become an archive of your travels over the years. Friends call you a cosmopolitan renaissance individual who is always in tune with the city’s energy from your acute awareness of the best restaurants, lounges, and galleries. At the end of the day, you can think of nothing more relaxing than stretching your legs on spacious sofa to a good read with a glass of wine.

In the midst of the most crowded cities, you manage to find a place that is a compliment to the sincerity of nature that is both relaxing and inviting. When your friends come over, they’re able to slip their feet into silken slippers for a hot cup of tea on the veranda while you prepare prepare for dinner. Many compliment you on your “eco-conscious” attitude. Your family spends most of their time in the living area lounging on sofas that highlight your polished wooden floors. The week ends for you with the Sunday paper and a trip to the museum.

French graffiti artist ZEVS, famous for investigating the relationship between commercialized cityscapes and the public’s unquestioned acceptance of it.

Known for targeting omnipresent corporate identities such as IBM, Coca Cola and McDonalds by manipulating their billboards, ZEVS brings that same aesthetic to the gallery by transforming the space into an urban setting. Tagging the walls and interfering with the architecture through installations and use of light, he destabilizes the interior and demands questioning of the total acceptance of corporations’ representation in our subconscious.

Despite ZEVS’ heavy critique of the silent acceptance of urban surroundings loaded with commercial adverts, his work contains repulsion on one hand and a strong element of beauty and allure on the other.

(Via Cool Hunting)

On his work with logos:

“Of course, there is a graffiti aesthetic to my art but I primarily play with the visual effect. I use the original colours and re-paint the logo with excess. By pouring paint over them, the logo dissolves in front of the viewer’s eyes, drawing attention to, and visually disturbing the recognisable and omnipresent trademark. By doing so, I try to investigate the logo’s visual power. It’s a simple gesture, just as in Aikido when you reverse the power and change the flow of energy.” _{Interview with PingMag, 11 August 2008}
