The Next Generation of Aircraft

InterFlight Studio knows that there will always be a new generation of aircraft, one better than the last.  And even better for them, because InterFlight Studio has recently begun designing their own products and designs for market using only the original parts from recycled aircraft.

It is a brilliant idea, to upcycle parts from a retired plane.  And what better place to imagine these enormous and modern design pieces, why not place them where they came from to start with, an airport!

It is easy to see how well the aircraft parts made into unique design pieces can work in an airport.  They can give the airport a discussion piece for everyone who walks through it.  The pieces themselves will help people to think of pleasant things while they fly/walk through the airport.  Perhaps maybe art is the way to re-teach people the positive aspects of flight.  In today's modern society, we often forget how new this technology is to the human race, and how much it changed the world we are living in today.
Today flying is associated with lots of annoyances like security checks, loud people, and long lines.  However, when people walk through an airport with multiple art and design pieces made with up-cycled aircraft parts, they begin to interact with the aircraft like most people never have before.  Instead of being bored at the airport, they will marvel in approval at the brilliant design technologies.  People will find these pieces interesting, and a way to appreciate the flights of the recent past.

The Scimitar Propeller sculpture by InterFlight Studio, is one of the most valuable objects of decoration on the market today.  This rare propeller blade holds within it, a piece of aviation history and excitement.  There are only a limited number of these even in existence in the world.
Now, InterFlight Studio is offering them to collectors and art appreciators around the world for a value price.  This object is perfect for an art or design collector because of the history this piece holds.

InterFlight Studio:  Scimitar Propeller Blade Sculpture

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           A scimitar propeller is shaped like a scimitar sword, with increasing sweep along the leading edge. Typically scimitar propellers are constructed of lightweight or composite materials. In the early 1900s they were made of laminated wood. The combination of light weight and efficient aerodynamics results in more power and reduced noise.

Turboprops have a fairly narrow sweet spot at speeds below about 450 mph. All propellers lose efficiency at high speed, due to an effect known as wave drag which occurs just below supersonic speeds. This powerful form of drag exhibits sudden onset, and it led to the concept of a sound barrier when it was first encountered in the 1940s. In the case of a propeller, this effect can happen when the prop is spun fast enough that the tips of the prop start traveling near the speed of sound, even if the plane itself is not moving forward.Propfan engines use contra-rotating scimitar propellers to achieve turboprop efficiency levels at high subsonic air speeds comparable to that of turbofans.

This can be controlled to some degree by adding more blades to the prop, absorbing more power at a lower rotational speed. This is why some World War II fighters started with two-blade props and were using five-blade designs by the end of the war. The only downside to this approach is that adding blades makes the propeller harder to balance and maintain. At some point, though, the forward speed of the plane combined with the rotational speed of the propeller will once again result in wave drag problems. For most aircraft, this will occur at speeds over about 450 mph.

A method of decreasing wave drag was discovered by German researchers in WWII: sweeping the wing backward. Today, almost all aircraft designed to fly much above 450 mph (700 km/h) use a swept wing. In the 1940s, NACA started researching propellers with similar sweep. Since the inside of the prop is moving more slowly than the outside, the blade becomes progressively more swept toward the outside, leading to a curved shape similar to that of a scimitar.

BERNARDO MEDINA COLON

Bernardo Medina's development as an artist has been a long process of study and experimentation in medium, style and technique. Ten years ago this experimentation led him to create pieces with mixed media; he instantly recognized that he had found his calling. His work has always been an expression of love as many of his earlier works were given as presents to close friends and relatives who, in turn, were very frequently his inspiring muses. The ability to integrate objects found on his journeys to create beautiful strong colored abstract pieces caught the attention of a Puerto Rican based art dealer and connoisseur, who gave him the opportunity to exhibit his art in her gallery upon recognizing his innate artistic fervor.

Bernardo debuted at a collective charitable exhibition in 2006 with his first series titled Fly Hi. Fly Hi consisted of renditions of airplanes in various shapes and sizes while establishing his trademark of utilizing color accents and vintage advertisements in order to convey his message.

In April 2008, Azar (Chance) became his first solo show, highlighting in this series the element of coincidence in all kinds of human relationships, from coworkers, to friends, and family. Hearts of different shapes and colors where the main theme of this exhibition.

The year 2009 represents for Bernardo the beginning of the internationalization of his works. He will show his most recent collection titled Fly Away in Miami, Florida; his first show outside of Puerto Rico.

CARLOS HOYOS

Carlos Hoyos is a modern day renaissance man who has succeeded in utilizing his creative and artistic side as well as his highly methodical, technically adroit side by staying focused and true to his passions, photography and aerospace.

The result is a marvelous incorporation of artistic skill and innovation as seen through his unique brand of photography that has aerospace as a common thread. In his burgeoning collections (“Cartagena, A Panoramic Aerial Vision”, “Botero Sculptures”,and “Convair 990”), Hoyos’ sharp eye, impeccable sense of light and framing, and excellent taste is clearly reflected.

Whether he uses aerospace technology to capture distinct images or showcases aircraft as his subject, Hoyos’ is quickly gaining recognition from collectors and critics as a groundbreaking photographer.

HERVE ALEXANDRE

Hervé Alexandre Born in Rouen, France, Hervé Alexandre excelled in the arts from a young age, however it was not until he focused his studies on portraiture and painting at Toulouse, France, and over to Ottowa, Canada from 1981 to 1984 that he truly refined his skill and style. Alexandre prefers to create realistic works in irrealistic media and colors. His material use range from pastel, charcoal, acrylic, oil, and pen on board or canvas and incorporate collages as well. Hervé Alexandre’s portraiture depicts various subjects, largely drawn from his travels, or in the case of the aerospace Collection, his occupation, working for Air France. Alexandre has dedicated collections to Mongolia, China, Latin America, and Africa and some of the aerospace Portraits are in the permanent collection of the Sao Paolo aerospace Museum in Brazil. Alexandre has been creating aerospace inspired pieces since 2006 and we are pleased to present them to you at InterFlight Studio Gallery and at Out of the Blue Café located at 2426 NE 2nd Ave (just blocks away from the gallery).

GIANCARLO DE ASTIS

BIOGRAPHY:

As an artist and furniture designer, De Astis pays homage to the numerous man-hours spent by others in creating these fantastic pieces of metal, creatively transforming each part into a new work of art. In his studio, he harmonizes the metal with new materials-glass, wood, stone, leather, metal sheeting, rivets-which results in impressive, highly crafted pieces of functional furniture, including chairs, desks, lamps, tables, and other pieces for the home, office and even public spaces. Aerodynamic and powerful in design, these unique objects reflect the creative mind and boundless energy of the artist and designer.

Giancarlo de Astis grew up in various countries around the world--Mexico, United States, Italy, Venezuela, Tunisia and Australia. As a result of his extensive travels and experiences with diverse cultures, he is fluent in English, Spanish, Italian and French. As a teenager, he attended schools in Florence and Rome, receiving a liberal arts education and exposure to monuments of Western art and architectural history on a daily basis. He graduated Cum Laude from Tufts University in Boston with a degree in International Relations and Economics.

In 2001, a series of dramatic changes in his personal life led De Astis to pursue a longtime dream of designing and building hand crafted furniture using parts from old airplanes. He traveled throughout the Southwest, West and Northwest regions of the United States for eight weeks in a VW camper, making a seminal stop in Arizona to visit the junkyards where planes await their meltdown. He purchased a number of parts and rented a U-Haul truck to bring them back to Los Angeles. Even prior to this moment, he had already begun sketching ideas for furniture. His first inspiration emanated from an airplane ride over the Mojave Desert in 1995, when for the first time he witnessed the "bone yards" where hundreds of airplanes--row by row--are laid to rest.

INSPIRATION:

For Giancarlo De Astis earning his Artistic license starts in the American West, where millions of creative man-hours are already embedded in the shapes of tens of thousands of airplanes glimmering under intense heat.

"When I toured the area in Mojave where the airplanes are parked, I began to notice the shapes and curves of the aircraft. They moved me. The parts and pieces of the planes were beautiful in and of themselves"
Inspired to perpetuate their existence as the works of art they are; Giancarlo blends the splendor of each part with time-honored crafting materials.

In the studio he refines his visualization of the finished piece, chooses harmonizing materials and begins to craft, and so the metamorphosis begins.
During this inventive process a mixture occurs that renews the part as a distinct and functional furniture piece- transformed, the airplane part then survives with fresh purpose. Resulting in extraordinary works of aviation art!

"It's not so much about me it's the piece itself". "I often wondered what it is that makes people still line up to see a painting that was done 500 years ago, I decided it was because the artist had left a piece of himself there and it's the passion of that person - Picasso, Rembrandt and Renoir - that keeps drawing us back. The moment that you touch somebody emotionally, that's the moment. That's what I try to do with my furniture."

OSCAR AND YVETTE GARCIA

Yvette and Oscar Garcia have been inspired by the magic of flight since their early childhood. Meeting aboard a 747 aircraft, Oscar as a Pilot and Yvette as an adventurous globe trotting passenger.

Since then, they have lived a flying life-love story immersed in the world of flight, fuelling  their creativity and supported their joint work as designers and artists for more than  a decade.

Through their designs, Oscar and Yvette address the fundamental attributes of mankind’s possibilities through the magic of flight.

Their designs evoke and reflect, elegantly, the intelligent, creative, artistic and humanitarian dimensions of flight, in all their splendour.

“Our artist and designer vision is twofold, first to create and deliver unique items that embody the “art of flight” and give a sense of infinite space, time, peace and freedom. And second, to place our designs in spaces that allow the collectors, owners or viewers to share in the emotions and inspiration of flight”. Yvette Garcia states

We offer to our clients, private, public and corporate the opportunity to acquire and collect our art creations, designs, artefacts and objects and to  inspire them to be conscious, to look above, beyond and to marvel about flight, and the infinite sky and space around us.

About Oscar                                                                                                           

Oscar is a unique aviation artist, with a piloting, strong science and business backgrounds. Oscar reconnected with his childhood passion for drawing and painting after more than twenty years, and meeting Yvette flying as a pilot on a Boeing 747 aircraft.

Oscar’s aerospace bound life story details are intriguing and engaging. Starting his craft at a very early age, he was known for selling self-adhesive photo collages to his peers in primary schools to decorate their school books, motor scooters and even room wallpapers. Model airplanes, sketches and early day canvases, often given as gifts to aspiring aviators and charities are scattered around the world.

Oscar’s work is unique, simple, yet powerful paintings, painted model aircraft and aircraft three dimensional collage compositions and assemblages.

About Yvette

Yvette’s art education started at a young age in The Netherlands. Through her upbringing in Asia and travel experiences, her style matured and evolved into a multi culturally reflection on the aesthetics of life, flight, love and family.  She uses a rich variety of objects, animals, planets, aircraft and birds which merge into backgrounds and sculptural arrangements that are simple yet powerfully appealing to the senses. Yvette’s creations reflect  and propose that soaring above, taking flight anywhere, could very well  be the driving force of love and harmony everywhere in the world ,and the universe.

ANTONIO PEREZ MELERO

BIOGRAPHY:

 Born in Spain, PEREZ MELERO began his career in Venezuela where he lived from the late 1950's until the early 1980's. Maintaining workshops in Caracas and New York, he is an artist who exhibits his work internationally and is in public collections which include the Spanish Museum of Contemporary Art, CANTV, Fundarte, the American Institute of Architects, Intel Corporation, the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and the Women in Military Service for America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

My 3-dimensional constructions are built mostly from wood, paper, canvas and acrylic paint. Their ideas evolve from an organic and intuitive process. The final work is a combination of my creative vision and a highly organized process employing disciplines of geometry and applied design.

Viewers should interact physically with my constructions. They need to walk around them and view them from different perspectives. Up close one can see the detailed and intricate methods of their construction. From further back, one can appreciate their total effect. Color and light and how they interact are central to my work. Color is painted on pieces of wood attached to a high-contrast geometric background. Light penetrates between them, reflecting color from one to another and on the background.

These reflected colors seem to mix in the air and produce an impression of others.

As light sources change angle or intensity, and as the viewer moves around the work, new colors can be perceived even though they aren't really there.

The interaction between color and light has produced an illusion.

This relationship between color and light, in part, defines my work. Color and light and how they interact are central to my work.
