 Thames River Water — High in Cocaine — Please Drink Responsibly is a presentation of objects and data by the visual artist, based in London, Lorenzo Belenguer to highlight the demonisation of South America as the leading producer of cocaine. As Belenguer adds:

PHOTOGRAPHER GASPAR MARQUEZ’S JOURNEY THROUGH GLAMOUR, MYSTERY, AND VIVID DREAMS
The model, a blonde woman with a pixie cut, stands on a rock, wearing a red leather jacket. Behind and all around her is the desert. The cactus by her side is her witness. The bright blue sky, cloudless, spread above her and perfects the composition of the picture. A splendid day. This is one of the covers of S Magazine. Founded in 2005, S Magazine publishes independent content that pushes boundaries and challenges the values of fashion, love, and culture. The photographer of the cover...

JEWELRY DESIGNER LI HUANG VIEWS HER GRAFT AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE PAST, OUR PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE

Ivy or figs were often used as a symbol of fidelity or fertility. It could be a lead. For modern jewelry designers, these ancestral symbols represent...

CK Contemporary is honored to announce its exclusive representation of the estate of Jack Wolfe. Wolfe (1924-2007) was a pioneering American artist who consistently created bold, passionate, and expressive artwork.

CK Contemporary is working directly with the Wolfe estate to help bring this artist’s significant legacy...

Rising several stories off the ground with the help of the truck’s hydraulic crane to photograph streets that usually embody the city’s hustle-and-bustle, Hay’s pictures instead display an eerie stillness. The stories his photographs tell are now familiar: Empty Manhattan...
