Biennale Arte – The milk of dreams

The 59th International Art Exhibition just opened up at Giardini and Arsenale in Venice. The Biennale Arte 2022 in Venice has chosen the theme – ”The Milk of Dreams”. Inspired by the book title “The Milk of Dreams” by the Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington (1917–2011).

”The Exhibition
takes Leonora Carrington’s otherworldly creatures, along with other figures of transformation, as companions on an imaginary journey through the metamorphoses of bodies and definitions of the human.”

Here is a sneak peek of the artists displayed at the Biennale:

The curator of the exhibition, Cecilia Alemani, says to the Art Newspaper: “I wanted to use this atmosphere and this fluidity to create an exhibition that talks about metamorphosis of the body, and of the definitions of humanity”. It is an impressive amount of art that is presented:  213 artists from 58 countries; 180 of these are participating for the first time in the International Exhibition. In total there are 1433 works and objects on display – which is quite impressive.

Graphic design trends in 2022

Youthful expressions that catches the eye

This year, styles from across the decades are coming back to life in a new twist and creative form. Trends tend to be cyclical and come back and evolve. This is something we like about graphic design, the rediscovering and reimagining of old favourites. 

We’ve looked into upcoming trends in the graphic design world and have gathered some inspiring trends within style and colour for 2022. We also included some examples from major brands like Kellogs, Coca Cola and Burger King that have explored new youthful expressions in line with these trends.

90’s nostalgia and retro style in a fresh take

90s style is an era of sweet nostalgia that is coming back to give people a well-familiar sense of bubblegum colours, grainy textures, pixelated art and retro illustrations. Major brands like Coca Cola and Burger King have adapted the retro vibe, expressing it in a modern and fresh way.

Muted colours for an organic and calm design

Muted colours are essentially vivid colours that have had their edge taken off. Muted colors are incorporated more on the web and even in packaging. Perhaps because they tend to give off an organic, calm vibe and blend well with a light or dark text when used as a base.

Combining 3D and flat design for catching the eye

3D is a growing form of style that is opening up its arms to anyone that’s up for a try. As it offers limitless possibilities to designers, it gives room for anything you can imagine. We see many creators combining flat designs with a pop of 3D elements to create depth, as well as stand out and create attention.
