Guido Van Helten’s Mural Portraits

Guido Van Helten is a muralist from Brisbane, Australia that creates larger than life portraits on buildings. His murals have a delicate quality to them, an almost fragile reality that exists in contradiction to their size and the structure they are painted on. His portraits speak to everyone, not only those for whom the mural was created.

A Firsthand Account Of The Ongoing Conflict In Ukraine

The conflict in Ukraine comes on and off the international media spotlight, but whether there’s news about it or not, the tensions and armed fighting in the Donbas region never really cool off. Russian photographer Dmitri Beliakov’s Ukrainian Chronicles is an extensive documentation of this conflict and of the ongoing struggle that continues even after the cameras are turned off. Beliakov’s images might make you want to avert your eyes, but they are such a necessary account of how a conflict zone is more than just a news narrative, and of how terribly painful and rough war really is.
