Michael Muller

Michael Muller is an American photographer based in LA and known for his celebrity and advertising photos. But that just a rip of an iceberg, and as he was born with adventure bone, his talent covers so many topics from safari adventures to shark playgrounds, from beauty portraiture to movie posters. Beside his awesome portfolio I also advise to take a look at MullerPhoto app that is a pretty nice camera application packed with some Muller's technical features.

Vadim Zakharov: Danaë installation at the Russian Pavilion

"Drawing from the perpetually revisited myth of Zeus and Danae, an installation by Vadim Zakharov in the Russian pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2013 uses consumable objects and the sequence of architectural spaces to make manifest underlying ideas about 'rudeness, lust, narcissism, demagoguery, falsehood, banality, and greed, cynicism, robbery, speculation, wastefulness, gluttony, seduction, envy, and stupidity.' the impregation of danae occurs when zeus appears to her as a golden shower after she is locked in a tower to prevent the professed death of her father. gender dynamics and the poetic cycle of gestation are reconstructed spatially with a total use of the pavilion-- a first in the history of the building. aside from providing two viewing points, the division of lower and upper chambers implicates the viewer directly in the materialization of the myth. through a large aperture in the floor a women-only space is laden with golden coins and fitted with umbrellas to shield the mechanical fall of the symbolic objects." via

Slava Fokk

I am not the only one to think about Modigliani while browsing Slava's portfolio but this is just a small reminder that first there was a big drama and now here is just a good set of artworks inspired by old masters. Originally from Southern Russia, Slava Fokk is Moscow based acclaimed artist who is saving traditions of classic painting in contemporary art.

Light Sculpture by Bernardi Roig

Sculptor Bernardi Roig uses electric light as a metaphor for this mutation: fluorescent tubes encase his subjects, blinding them. The Artist explores the dynamics of voyeurism by revisiting classical myths, baroque iconography, and memento mori, filtered through the fundamental issues of post-modern thought. By uniting his own philosophical and literary appropriations, Roig has defined a modern form of realism.

Smart Billboards by Ogilvy France

While Russians (Voskhod) gained 4 Golden Lions in Cannes for their social anti-advertisement of road potholes, guys from Ogilvy France did smart billboards that enhance the urban environment. The intriguing billboards incorporate flat design in a 3-Dimensional capacity, building benches, awnings and helpful ramps to make the urban landscape a little bit “smarter.” By rethinking this simple medium, their message links the tech giant with innovation, intelligence and ingenuity in the physical world—a major feat of creative strategy.
