"Romain Laurent has a knack for creating striking photos—images you can’t un-see, the kind you just have to click on. With his work it’s often hard to tell what you’re looking at, which elements are digitally composited, and what’s real (is any of it?). “Inner Dialogue” is more obvious its trickery, but nothing here is over-edited. Less is always more and he uses just enough." via Bo7M

"Alexis Christodoulou wasn’t always an artist, though his dreamy 3D renders of imagined modernist interiors belies his brief tenure as one. A former copywriter at an advertising agency, Christodoulou began experimenting with the 3D modelling program SketchUp during a particularly frustrating spell of screenwriting. Five years on, the Cape Town-based artist offers simply this on his Instagram profile: ‘No photographs. Just renders.’"

Leading figurative Chinese artist Song Wei is definitely recognised for his "Porcelain Hamburger" (made of fibreglass) and less for the rest of his body of work in classic oil on canvas spiced with Asian cultural twists.
Across the globe, his Porcelain Hamburger will be seen in the bank’s publicity advertisements on print. The image was specifically selected for its representation of a perfect marriage between East and West, the hybrid aesthetics of both cultures, and a perfect ambassador for a bank that serves the world.
Song Wei’s bears are often depicted in everyday situations: eating a lollipop, playing with toys, and even sitting on a toilet bowl. While his works appear joyous, carefree and fun loving, there are undoubtedly deeper meanings behind them. His paintings not only remember his childhood memories and adult experiences, but also reflect the impact of Western merchandise, the changes in Chinese values and mentality, traditions and modernisation, honesty and controversy, capitalism and consumerism, as well as the welding of Eastern and Western cultures in our metropolitan societies.

Russian digital artist Slava Semeniuta shares his latest photography manipulations in a project called "Another Earth"
Drawing the most feminine parts of the female body as a series of dishes – isn’t that a bit over the top? Trying to fully express women’s desire for sexuality and even its symbolic form, through the tip of a pen – isn’t that a bit audacious?
Claudia Chanhoi, a Hong Kong-born and U.S.-based artist, says most of her creations feature women’s body parts but aren’t only about women’s sexual desire. They also represent the artist herself, a modern straight woman.
Mike Driver, a London, based freelance illustrator, currently represented by MP Arts. "His textural and brightly-hued work, full of long-limbed characters is a joy to look at. Their crispness and clarity suits print wonderfully but his use of both digital and analogue techniques keeps things interesting."
British art director based in Vietnam, Andrew Millington shares the latest branding work he did at Prophet with Hector Pottie for West Studios. This concept was all about transforming the home of British television into a place that people could call their home.
There is no doubt that future is female and bright, and the portfolio of Barcelona-based graphic artist Andrea Robescu you see below is a strong evidence of it. Worth to mention Andrea is a crime partner of our long-term friend Andrei Robu helping him with graphic projects on daily basis
Her art breaks the boundaries of how the body and facial features are illustrated through photography in the fashion industry and by using a more relaxed and fun way of looking at things she expressed and embraced the human sexuality in a playful and empowering way.
Bold colours and abstract shapes play a big part of Andreea’s work. She’s creating powerful visuals using everything from markers to acrylics, pencils and ink, sometimes even her bare hands making the whole process a very personal one. Her energetic illustrations attracted the eye of various global brands and publications.
“Every now and again a job comes along that makes you remember why you love making films so much. Boys & Girls asked me to travel to the heart of Mexico to make a film for Jose Cuervo in the town of Tequila. Our mission, to capture the spirit of Jose Cuervo, the town and its people. This is the result and it became more than just a film for me, it was a trip I will always remember and a group of people I’ll never forget. Everybody mucked in to make this as special as it really was.”

“The world of post-truth is not just a simulative copy of the real world, but a hyper-saturated version that seeks to surpass it.
This is about media and politics, where the facts have lost power and turned reality into fake, which is accepted as true. Let us imagine that the perception of the objective world exists by the same rules. While alteration of elements and scales is a lie, the image remains recognizable and gives a delusive sense of truth - the victory of emotions over facts. The reality here is physically distorted, almost surreal, filled with anxiety and frustration.
Synthetic hair - a material, that unites all objects, symbolizes the femininity, its strength and magic. The same way as the power of words is used to distort facts in media, I use the power of hair, archetype, lying deep in the subconscious, to manipulate the perception. This literally soft, anti-monumental material revives objects so you want to touch them. In the era of cyberspace subject of tangibility is more relevant than ever.”
