The seven deadly sins by Christian Montenegro
The ‘seven deadly sins’ is a classical topic for an artist, it seems. As a fan of the Renaissance, I tend to prefer the traditional interpretation. However, Christian Montenegro, an illustrator from Buenos Aires, has come up with an interesting modernist version. Read more
Love Locks for Valentine’s Day

Love Locks appear in a few places around the world, and this is a short film about the locks on Ponte Milvio, one of the oldest bridges in Rome. A public symbol of unbreakable love put there by locals and visitors alike. Beautiful.

Thank you for these photos. Please could someone post if they are available to buy? My husband teaches teenage boys on relationships, respecting themselves, women etc and these photos would be invaluable for him. Thanks

This fails at being provocative. You may as well have simply photographed hairy dudes in dresses, it would have the same effect and its been done to death. Its funny, but not as much as its uncomfortable and awkward. This serves as proof that some gender roles exist for a reason.

Mark Bradford is one of the most under-rated African- American artists, with captivating and stunning work.

His cityscapes and use of color are amazing. Read more
Films involving characters faced with an impossible choice never make easy viewing, an example being the Nick Cave Australian gem, The Proposition. A nightclub manager, played with understated power by Joaquin Phoenix, is the victim here, and you actually feel truly uncomfortable as his predicament unfolds. Set in the 1980s, We Own The Night shows a real nostalgia for that period — particularly in the costumes. Read more
