Rui Tenreiro: Artist of the Week

The Culture Front is run by a good ol' friend from back in my college days. His name is Rui Tenreiro. He is a Mozambican and now lives in Stockholm, Sweden. He also runs a publishing company called Soyfriends. He basically does it all! My favourite thing about him is his illustrations. His work is quirky and fun. from looking at some of his work now I can see a ton of emotion in them. I love how he uses his negeative shapes with his positives creating a "mood" in his work. He also thinks like a designer when illustrating because he places things in the right place.

There was a time back in college where I starred at his work wondering..."how the hell did he think of this?" or "Why the hell didn't I think of his?" or "Where was I when he thought of this?" Once you look at his work you will get a glimpse of what I am talking about. I have since his style evolve but his style may change but it still has RUI written all over it!
