Snacks and Sculptures: Visual Artist Lilian Martinez Is Inspired by Paul Cézanne and Cheese Plates

This feature is part of #MadeToCreate, a series highlighting our community of entrepreneurs, makers and artisans on Instagram.

Lilian Martinez’s (@bfgf) playful tapestries aren’t just modern-day, digitally printed cave drawings — they do double duty as throw blankets you can wrap up in or picnic on. “Art wasn’t very prominent in my childhood. My main interests were eating snacks and watching TV,” says the Los Angeles-based artist behind the unisex art brand BFGF (Boyfren Girlfren). While she does paint canvases and show in galleries, things took off when she removed her art from the wall and transferred it onto fun, functional home goods and clothes like pillows, rugs and sweatshirts. Lilian does love famous artists like Paul Cézanne and Henry Moore, but she’s just as inspired by a good Stilton cheese and some fruit as she is by sculptures. “Art is everywhere,” says Lilian. “Take time to explore. It will make you feel good!”

Autumn inspired leaf prints 🍂🍁 pattern designing prints relieving the tiny intricate details #autumn #autumnleaves #reliefprinting #pressprinting #patterndesign

Sewing into printing experiments, seeing if it has the same visual effects and using the actual physical leaves 🍃

Using blue materials and different colours to develop this ideas further 💡 I found the pink a lot more difficult that the green but may try using other colours and different paints #relief #printing #patterns

Artur Bordalo "one mans trash is another mans treasure". I've been exploring using found items and objects around us to inspire print making and pattern design in my current projects 🎨and I recently stumbled across this amazing man with an amazing mind set towards how our generation is now extremely consumerist in the materials we buy and throw away 🗑his art work is a response to the production being at its highest aswell as the production of waste. Through creating these amazing art piece from what others throw away it such an eye opener to what we see as trash can have multiple uses as something that it was initially designed for. Creating and re-creating pieces which are sustainable, ecological and raising social awareness to the present day issue 💡the work itself is often colourful vibrant and full of life which juxtaposes the fact that someone had cast it away as trash. In my current work I've I have looking into upcycling and using organic materials and I think that this is a great artists to help inspire me and my work ♻️

My four favourite gowns of the even at the Golden Globes 🏆Oliva Culpo and Lily Collins wearing Zuhair Murad which are absolutely to die for 😍Chrissy Teigan in Marchea 💕and Emma Stone in Valentino 💓 I am massively inspired my the fashion empire and event like this are so inspiring to see such beautiful gowns with amazing colour, design and structure. I am currently exploring natural pattern designs and coincidently these dresses incorporated such intricate designs and influences which are astounding👗could I create couture clothing with my pattern design making and demonstrate such elegance in natures natural beauty ? 🍭

I really enjoyed my experiments with leaves physically and how I could incorporate them into my work as physical material ✂️through researching and discovering artists such as Walter Mason is what made me thing that incorporating nature into my work as base rather than an influence is what I found most interesting 🎍Mason provides a reciting perspective on the natural world surrounding us and I wanted to take this into consideration when creating these mini series as my development in the work, Mason uses photography 📷to keep his pieces alive and available for people to see, however I wanted see it change physically which is why I have looked at incorporating natural features into fabrics so that they can be use for garments or accessories which can naturally decompose rather than have something that is simply just inspired 🖇emphasising the fragility and beauty of the environment in which we are surrounded by but do not acknowledge 🔍I think that in my own work it juxtaposes simplisty and complexity through using nature in a non destructive manner. Even though I found these leaves 🍃 alive in there naturally state decomposing will always be apart of there cycle, I specially chose leaves like this because I found them more sturdy and a little less fragile to sewing into and attach to fabric materials

Re"leaf" printing developments 😋these colourful relief print are inspired by Lesley Richmond and her exploratory work with organic materials and there break down and structure 🍂 she demonstrates architectural emergence through the structure and molecular of organic surfaces which is why I found her work so relate to to my own 🌳through using relief printing it allows the audience to see beyond the larger features and into the characteristics of the leaves and there format 🌿using something that naturally possesses patterns and details is really eye opening into the world 🌎 that people pass by without recognising it 🥀Lesley's work gives the illusion of decay but with my own work I wanted it to be gradual and the pieces age and change through there cycle ♻️next I want to experiment with this on fabrics even though I want to upcycle biodegradable materials I would like to explore the options with the printing process.

Re"leaf" prints #project #leaves #printing #relief #reliefprinting #blackandwhite

inspired relief printed by Lesley Richmond and he pattern through decaying natural materials 🍂🍃looking at the detail and imprints through prints and the genetic break down of molecular structure as a possible rout to continue down following this experiment. Further development by working into these printed is my next step by reintroducing and incorporating colour and life back into decay and dying nature so that it can continue on. Possible look at up cycling ♻️and using old materials in a new way/format

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty in partnership with Swarovski Exhibition.

I went to this exhibition in May 2 years ago and still to date this is my favourite exhibition I’ve been too. McQueen was new wave of fashion which was a break through from the typical run way material. I found his work really innovative and extremely unique and well thought through and together, all the outfits belong to one collect but many different series which exploited different sides to savage beauty. 🤳🏽I’ve decide to revisit this because in my recent project I’m exploring nature and is properties to be used in everyday textiles such as clothing or accessories and weather to replicate nature or use the raw material ✍🏽the contrast that I found between each garment was beautiful and limitless, using bird and feathers 🕊as the main theme but then contrasting with crystals creating extraordinary materials to work with I think that having a good contrast between two different types of raw materials and how the audience views them would be a good aspect to address in the project I’m currently exploring

Latest artists that I’ve been exploring in my work, collaborating with nature and the materials is has to offer is something that I’m exploring within my work itself 🍃🍂I really enjoy the idea of creating art work through nature presenting land art and either time or weather erasing the work 🌕🌗🌚both demonstrate intricate pieces through natures delicate frames of space time and material and what each piece has to offer is completely different I myself would prefer my work to be more permanent and lasting against the forces of nature but I the juxtaposition of changing something nature existence so it’s man made but with nature objects is something that I look forward into exploring and researching 🕸

This recent artist movement surrounding feminism was originally started by Stephanie Sarley on her Instagram account which has recently gained a lot of followers and controversy through creating art based on women's vagina through fruit. 🍎🍊🍋🍉🍓🍑The basis of Stephanie's work surrounds the vagina in the form of other objects. Demonstrating a fingering motion on the inside of the fruits 🍉. This naturally caused controversy amongst opinions some hate and disgust but many educational response. This videos and images can be perceived as extremely sexual however this recent act of feminism and women claiming and owning the right to there own bodies I found empowering and own they want other people to view the female form. Personally I find her work really inspiring and representative towards the recent modern rising of feminism, I really like the use of every day innocent objects being used to represent something quite crude and pushed aside by many people which is emotive in provoking a response. I'm my recent work I have been exploiting the use of leaves 🍃 for repeat patterns and recent touch and fruit 🍊and what each thing could represent which is why I find Stephanie's work so unique and questionable. http://instagram.com/stephanie_sarley
