Vancouver based Andrew Young represents the young generation of contemporary artists working in cross-section of hyper-realism and abstraction.
His work currently focuses on lost and found adolescence. We are lost in our self-indulgent primal behavior, forgoing the morals and values our parents have instilled in us. In these images we reflect on our own experiences of these dark visceral moments and places. Our juvenility is found when we disregard our age and act on impulses, often finding ourselves demonstrating irreverent, self-gratifying exploits.

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.

"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
