Drinks such as wine and vodka were placed under a microscope to reveal images of the crystallised sugar.

"Banksy just placed a new sculpture, Cardinal Sin, at Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England. The piece, made in response to the child abuse scandals that the church seems to be known for these days, features a face taken off and replaced by blank bathroom tiles. Banksy noted in a statement, ":I'm never sure who deserves to be put on a pedestal or crushed under one." The sculpture sits next to religious works dated from the 17th Century." says Juxtapoze

Gifted artist Von vanishes the border between digital and tradition art being inspired by nature and popular culture. Recently he roll out "Semblance - Collectors Edition Box Set" series of artworks
"As an artist, Von's art marries all that is conceptually abstract and evident of its subject matter, depicting his surrealist take on portraiture. It is this approach which has seen Von's work praised by many, such as renowned photographer and publisher, Rankin, who has collaborated with the artist for his new magazine, The Hunger. Following on from his legacy as the co-founder of Dazed & Confused, Rankin featured ten pieces courtesy of Von for the launch of the magazine's first issue. To support the collaboration, a short video featuring Von was made which you can watch here"
