Art and Us Book Design

Scanning from the surface upward, listeners encounter a book positioned at a slight diagonal angle, resting upon rippling metallic silver fabric that creates gentle waves and valleys like liquid mercury caught mid-flow. The book cover measures approximately square or slightly rectangular, occupying the central two-thirds of the visual field. The background fabric feels cool and smooth like polished aluminum foil, reflecting light in soft gradients from bright silver to deeper pewter tones. The book cover itself presents a complex layered surface where the base consists of deep charcoal gray, nearly black, textured with regular patterns of tiny dots arranged in curved wave-like formations, suggesting the tactile quality of fine mesh or perforated metal. Floating above this dark ground, organic white and silver shapes spread across the surface like lichen on stone or foam patterns on dark water, their edges irregular and natural feeling, with some areas appearing crackled and textured like dried earth or mineral deposits. The most commanding element consists of large letterforms spelling "ART & US" rendered in warm vermillion red, the temperature of ripe tomatoes or autumn leaves. These letters cascade diagonally from upper left toward lower right, overlapping the organic patterns beneath. The typography feels bold and confident, with clean geometric shapes characteristic of modern sans-serif design. The ampersand symbol sits prominently at center, connecting the words above and below. Subtle iridescent rainbow reflections appear at the upper right edge where the metallic substrate catches light at different angles, adding cool cyan and violet tints to the predominantly warm and neutral palette. The overall atmosphere suggests contemporary sophistication, experimental creativity, and thoughtful material consideration.

Lewben Art Foundation has published a book of selected works of foundation. The art album consists of two parts: the main one with visualizations and a booklet with information in the pocket. The book creates an impression of the artist sketchbook, therefore, each page is illustrated with original textures and used a stitching technology. To reveal the topic were used a transparent PVC cover and various transparent and rough papers for documentation and markers. As in the sketchbook, the book is rich in various technical principles - foiling, offset printing and silk-screen printing.
