Blair Martin Cahill
“There are layers in all we see, do and present in our lives. These are the elements which we want to show, conceal, or perhaps only hint at. What is revealed is equally important to what is not, and both are needed to capture an entire vision.” - Blair Martin Cahil

After School by Franck Bohbot
At first glance, you see “oil on canvas” depicts youngsters enjoying after-school in a mellow palette of a golden hour. But what Franck Bohbot tricked us to believe, apparently went out as photography. Very talented photography indeed.

Gianmaria Schonlieb
Gianmaria Schonlieb is a multidisciplinary Creative Director with extensive experience in advertising and art direction.
“I like to focus on simple moments. Advertising is something that we don’t really need in life, so I have always loved to focus on small moments, objects, and little things that are often overlooked but that can make you crack a smile.”
Kara Walker's Fons Americanus
“My work has always been a time machine looking backwards across decades and centuries to arrive at some understanding of my “place” in the contemporary moment.”
Fons Americanus is a 13-metre tall working fountain inspired by the Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace, London. Created by artist Kara Walker for the 2019 Hyundai Commission, it is one of the most ambitious installations in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall to date.
Rather than a celebration of the British Empire, Walker’s fountain explores the interconnected histories of Africa, America and Europe. She uses water as a key theme, referring to the transatlantic slave trade and the ambitions, fates and tragedies of people from these three continents. Fantasy, fact and fiction meet at an epic scale.
Based in New York, Kara Walker is acclaimed for her candid explorations of race, sexuality and violence. She is best known for her use of black cut-paper silhouetted figures, referencing the history of slavery and the antebellum South in the US through provocative and elaborate installations.
Fons Americanus is on display at Tate Modern until 5 April 2020. You can explore the artwork in more detail on @tate

Lars Fisk
Since 1995, Lars-Erik Fisk has reimagined familiar and common-place objects into spheres, which he considers a "basic form… that we can all understand, but is at the same time the least likely form for these subjects to assume.”
Transforming objects in this way engenders a fascination with the mundane and elevates otherwise unnoticed details of one’s everyday surroundings to works of art that demand attention.
Made primarily by hand in the artist’s Brooklyn studio, each circle is designed to engage ordinary elements from parking lots, subway tiles, car parts and pencil stubs. The eclectic material palette uses the components of these architectural and urban facets – namely steel, glass and asphalt – and turn them into perfect spheres; transforming the simple theory into a potent array of sculptures.
Wave Atlas by Marpi
Talented interactive artist MARPI (that worked with us on @Digital.Decade installation) shares his latest collaborative installation Wave Atlas.
Wave Atlas is a water world teeming with artificial digital life, which users simultaneously create and discover. The more users who interact, the richer and more complex this ecology grows.
Using pinch-and-drag hand gestures tracked via Leap Motion sensors or triggers via an HTC Vive controller, users create segmented swimmers that they can set free in a virtual ocean expanse. Once released, the creatures play, evolve, and interact, glittering sculptures in a digital current.
The creatures of Wave Atlas are inspired by nudibranchs and leafy seadragons, marine animals with arresting color patterns and an astonishing array of forms.
Wave Atlas is on exhibit at The Tech Interactive’s Reboot Reality experience lab in San Jose, California, presented with support from the Knight Foundation.
Illustrative Art of Samuel Rodriguez
The San Jose based artist Samuel Rodriguez benefits from the mix of street art background and classic art education and has done some amazing illustrative art so far. He is mostly focusing in two types of portraiture which he refers to as, ‘Topographical Portraiture’ and ‘Type Faces’. The Topographical Portraits Rodriguez creates, are made by stylizing a portrait with topographical lines and shapes, in a similar manner to those found through images on geographic maps.
The Immigrant by Michael Murphy
The Immigrant - is a 3D halftone sculpture by Brooklyn-based artist Michael Murphy. When you view the 2,300 wood balls from forty feet away you see an image of Murphy’s partner Natasha Vladimirova. The work calls attention to the positive contributions immigrants make to our communities. Natasha is an immigrant and it is with her help that this piece was made possible. This tribute is intended to introduce positivity to a negative and overly politicized conversation.
Flower Flashes in NYC by Lewis Miller
Floral artist Lewis Miller (previously) and his talented team arrange beautiful blooms in the most unexpected places in New York City. For nearly 3 years with his company, Lewis Miller Design, they worked on a very cleaver guerrilla marketing campaign: “flower flashes”, where they transformed trash cans into larger-than-life flower vases and used blooms to embellish the streets of New York, as well as the subways as public art.

Wade and Leta ╳ Seaport District Sculptures NYC
A seascape of sculptures in a historic New York City district. In celebration of the 2019 summer season at South Street Seaport, The Seaport District approached Wade Jeffree and Leta Sobierajski (or simply creative duo Wade&Leta) to create a large scale series of sculptures to liven the district for the summer of 2019. Inspired by coral and camouflage and the languid movements of algae and seaweed, their sculptures drift and sway as if being gently pushed by an underwater current.
They wanted to emulate the feeling of drifting through an unexplored world splashed with color and pattern by creating cavernous structures that would evoke an overwhelming seascape of multi-dimensional sculptures of varying heights and colours. A material inspiration comes from the nearby boats that have been docked at the Seaport’s harbour over many years; like boats, the material will gradually weather over time, replicating the way elements shift and change our environmental landscape as the seasons progress
