secrets

Apparently the Mona Lisa has various letters (read: secret code) painted in her pupils. Alas, a rally to keep her relevant!

matt stuart

Matt Stuart is London-based a street photographer who goes through a couple of rolls of film at day. At that rate you're bound to come up with a couple of good photos, but never mind. He is quite good at capturing funny little moments and clever juxtapositions in ordinary situations. 

I enjoyed almost every single one of the photographs on his website. I highly recommend taking a look.

Scorched Earth 2006

Bradford is a prolific LA-based contemporary artist. His art is made from aged billboard peelings and is generally in the vein of abstract canvas works, although he also experiments with multimedia. Scorched Earth is one of his more figural works, representing the race riots in Tulsa in 1921.

The exhibition currently at the ICA is well worth a look. Bradford has created a unique body of work that is stunning and distinctly African-American. His work is dynamic, but highly-focused on the slow process of making.
