Anthony Gormley’s latest sculpture, a 60 tons, 85 feet high giant in an awkward crouching position entitled, Exposure. It will be unveiled formally this September, but it has caused quite a stir even before the unveiling. Either way, there is no doubt whether or not the locals have formed an idea about which specific function our latest friendly giant is performing.
There is a new iPhone app which enables you to ‘paint’ pictures in the style of the Cubist works like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. You can use any pre-existing image (or from a photo taken on the spot) to transform them into your own Cubist masterpiece. You can do this by dabbling your finger across the screen, much like a paintbrush across the canvas. Just shake the screen if you are dissatisfied with the outcome to start on another Cubist creation.

Dimitri Tsykalov is a Russian sculptor who sculpting style with an approach which he describes as “contrary to the brutality of modern images.” Later in his artistic career, he began using naked models and covering them in meat fashioned as masks, flags, weapons and very seldomly, clothing. He explores food as an artistic tool. There is no denying that his art is controversial, but it is also highly mesmerizing.
