As the year closes, we glance back at the posts from our front page, especially those that have garnered your attentive clicks. Despite our beginnings as a sneaker-centric platform, the arts — and their subsidiary categories including design and photography — are intertwined with HYPEBEAST’s creative ethos. This synergy has added to the foundation of our culture, while providing visual inspiration through a number of channels. Events such as Art Basel and POW! WOW! were highlighted in our calendar, while the Pen & Paper and THROUGH THE LENS series showcased a wide spectrum of talents. We’ve compiled our top 10 most viewed arts posts of 2014. They include features from Van Styles, 13thWitness, Field Notes’ Aaron Draplin, alongside artwork by Shohei Otomo, James Jean and photographs by Peter Lik, Gypsy One and winners of the 2014 National Geographic Photo Contest. Check out the posts below, and let us know your thoughts.
