Russian born, Australia raised photography artist Anna Pogossova explores the world of Still Life describing her works as "Pop Surrealism" by using different techniques."Employing unexpected juxtapositions and an element of surprise, examining the intrinsic link between traditional art and photography, Anna’s work above all else is part of a revolution in the world of photography." says Chloe Cooper from Pitch Magazine
New York-based graphic designer Evan Robertson takes the cleverest lines written by his favorite writers such as Oscar Wilde and Ernest Hemingway and turns them into brilliant literary posters. “I took little snippets of text and ideas from some of my favorite authors (with some notable exceptions that I’m saving), and let the words be a springboard for an illustration. The illustrations incorporate and interact with the text and hopefully add up to something that engages the mind as much as the eye.”
Evan has a plan to complete around 50 illustrations in a year. He has already completed 24, which you can see in his Etsy shop. via Demilked

To revive the grey concrete, to break the routine and give you a moment to reflect on what we are and where we are going.

If Aivazovsky lives today he definitely pats Ran Ortner's shoulder with all ambiguity in his smile. But this is 2012 and Ran Ortner is really great in depicting huge waves that he enjoys to ride sometimes.

"A semi-anonymous street artist of international renown, JR plasters giant, monochrome photographs of faces in urban centers—on rooftops and walls, in church windows, and along the sides of buses. Calling the street his gallery and “using art to turn the world inside out,” JR delivers a message of social action, telling the stories of the marginalized or voiceless." via Art.sy
"Filippo Minelli (Brescia 1983) is a contemporary-artist connoting his artistic productions with interventions in public space, several times of urban typology. His artistic path in traditional Graffitism begins in the second half of the nineties but the urge of evolving his productions into something more contemporary became insistent with the years." says Sweet Station
