Gregoire Vieille – Electrotoys Series

gregoirevielle2 Gregoire Vieille – Electrotoys Series

Gregoire Vieille, a photographer working out of Paris, France, has developed a series for Amusement Magazine titled “Electrotoys.” The works, which showcase a series of vintage video gaming consoles among colorful abstract backgrounds, draw the viewer in with their underlying complexity. This series ultimately speaks to the ever-increasing appeal of all things vintage; demonstrating the ability for the obsolete consoles of yesteryear to be re-imagined in a fashion that’s highly modern in its aesthetics, if not its subject matter.

He calls them “Book Sculptures.” “Los Angeles native Mike Stilkey has always been attracted to painting and drawing not only on vintage paper, record covers and book pages, but on the books themselves. Using a mix of ink, colored pencil, paint and lacquer, Stilkey depicts a melancholic and at times a whimsical cast of characters inhabiting ambiguous spaces and narratives of fantasy and fairy tales.” [1]
