Described as the “mise en scène for the romantic drama of
American business,” New York City’s Chanin Building was built
by Irwin S. Chanin in the late 1920s. Ornately adorned with bronze
grilles representing some of the finest Art Deco in the city, the
lobby was styled around a “City of Opportunity” concept. One of
these ventilator grilles, with loops, spirals and geometric lines
symbolizing human thought and emotion, is reproduced here.
Azulejos are painted, glazed ceramic tiles that date back to
13th-century Portugal. Today, we see these decorative tiles across
a wide range of buildings, from monasteries, palaces and
restaurants to bars, railway stations and family homes. The design
on the tiles commonly related to the building’s unique history,
and the individual pieces often end up forming an elaborate mosaic.
The design seen here is pulled from the traditional tiles gracing
the façades of a variety of old houses in Porto, Portugal.
Using authentic Japanese washi tape paper, metallic foiling and a

Ancient spiritual practices meet modern digital art in this
kaleidoscopic book cover featuring the work of Android Jones. His
art asks the viewer to focus on the potential for awakening, the
power of the ancient third eye and the early reverberations of the
time that lies before us.With colours at once psychedelic and
hyper-modern, and imagery that combines Eastern iconography and a
cutting-edge science fiction aesthetic, Jones is an artist who
draws on old traditions and those yet to be born. Jones calls
himself a digital painter and is renowned for his multidimensional,
spiritually driven art and performances and the expanded states of
consciousness they evoke. Whether one fancies him a shaman of pop
art or a practitioner of electro-mineralism, at the centre of his
art is a sense of untapped potential and limitless imagination.With
this sketchbook, we invite to you to push the boundaries of
perception and awaken to the possibilities of your own third eye.

phase.” Oil and gold leaf combine to create sinuous shapes, and
the lustrous palette and intricate patterns make the painting one
of the great masterpieces of the early modern period.
