Caught by the Nest

I was looking at the arts/culture/lifestyle blog weheart.co.uk and saw the post about duo Kai and Sunny project "Caught by the Nest." 's calaboration with graphic artist Shepard Fairey (Obey). 
'This series of pieces looks at elements of the natural world through an abstraction of geometrical patterns, rendered in impressive large-scale installations and screen prints infused with copper and “stardust”.' -WeHeart 
The project is inspired by 'The reason I Jump' a Japanese novel by Naoki Higashida  (translated by author David Mitchell) which tells a story of an autistic teenager who finds comfort in nature.
'The pair has joined forces with graphic artist extraordinaire Shepard Fairey on two versions of an image in which the central core of Shepard’s “Obey” star bursts outwards in a flower pattern. As Shepard says the luminosity of the metallic pigments needs to be seen in person.'-WeHeart

I love the variety of tone that is built up in these prices, whilst still being black and white images as opposed to grey scale. I think this, along with the sharp, graphic style makes for bold, high impact pieces.
